6 DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Acknowledgements Victoria University acknowledges the input, support and funding from Alzheimer's Australia (VIC) for this Project. Further reading: Angus, J., Sims, J., Feldman, S. & Radermacher, H Can other key national health priority areas inform community-based intervention strategies to reduce the risk of dementia? A review of the evidence. For publication. Angus, J., Sims, J., Radermacher, H. & Feldman, S The effectiveness of social marketing in community awareness of public health issues: Implications for dementia-risk reduction. For publication. For further information : jocelyn.angus@vu.edu.au 6

7 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Background to Project A limited but accelerating body of research supports a range of lifestyle strategies aimed at lowering the community s dementia risk Very limited empirical evidence concerning dementia community intervention strategies Increasing demand for awareness and knowledge of dementia across the community 7

8 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Aims Identify national health priority areas that have high effectiveness in preventative community intervention strategies Explore key determinants & options that have the highest utility for dementia risk reduction strategies in the Australian community To identify the importance of social marketing & the mass media for dementia risk reduction strategies 8

9 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Research Methods Extensive and systematic search of: Electronic databases and published sources Websites of key organizations Reference lists of existing reviews and RCT s In addition: Interviews with representatives from major peak body organisations The search strategy was devised and refined in conjunction with an expert advisory group 9

10 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION National Health Priority Community Intervention Strategies Targeted for Dementia Risk Reduction Cardiovascular risk factors Diabetes prevention Screening for cancers 10

11 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Heart Promotion Strategies Can Inform Dementia Risk Most cases of dementia have a common vascular pathology Intervention strategies directed towards vascular risk factors could make a significant impact on delaying the onset of mixed state dementia syndromes Strategies categorizing the risk factors of dementia according to upstream, midstream and downstream variables may provide a useful framework 11

12 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Diabetes Interventions Can Inform Dementia Risk Current evidence in diabetes intervention strategies suggests the need to centre community participation at multiple levels directed towards: Risk reduction and/or The advantages of early diagnosis 12

13 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Cancer Interventions Can Inform Dementia Risk Research evidence related to improving screening rates to reduce the risk of cancer is likely to offer greater insight for dementia risk reduction Valid and cost efficient methods to screen people for risk factors associated with cognitive impairment is an important first step towards effective risk reduction of dementia Screening for early stage dementia has important implications for the identification of existing risk factors such as diabetes that may delay the progress of dementia 13

14 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION A life course approach to community education Targeting: Overweight children, young people and adults to reduce weight and risk of high blood pressure. Middle aged men and older people with existing hypertension. Those with high fat diets, low intake of vegetable and omega-3 fats or with high serum cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol levels Type II diabetics and those at high risk Possibly those at risk of depression - young men, older men, new mothers, carers and those with existing depression 14

15 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Key contextual determinants for effective Community Education Programs The role of Collaborative Partnerships Community Development and Engagement Health Promotion Settings 15

16 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Options for Dementia Risk Reduction Strategies Piggy back onto existing health promotion programs Identify the most important risk factors & develop a focused dementia risk reduction program Focus on particular at risk population group and identify the dementia risk reduction strategy. 16

17 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION The importance of Social Marketing The key message is: target specific communities and settings with appropriate and tailored message provide repeated, sustained exposure to maximise their impact 17

18 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION The role of the Mass Media Leading outlet for informing the public about health issues Positive impact on the uptake of health services and healthy behaviours Significant impact when complemented by other collateral efforts to reduce barriers to behaviour change Needs to be of sufficient duration, reach and quality to compete successfully with other paid advertising and product-induced behaviour change 18

19 COMMUNITY EDUCATION DEMENTIA RISK REDUCTION Conclusion Transferability of findings to dementia risk reduction remains to be empirically tested Evidence would suggest that dementia risk reduction interventions are required at an individual, community and population levels 19

51 Mind your Mind Van This is Hobart s Mind your Mind resource van. The van can be used when we go to rural & remote areas to give people an overall experience of what services are available at Alzheimers Australia, Tas. The van has books, videos, dvd s, a selection of sensory stimulation items, help sheets & services guides plus many more interesting items to view.

52 Where do we go? There are over 35 community houses in Tasmania & 25 houses have participated in the Mind your Mind program. We travel all over Tasmania from the very top at Flinders Island to the very bottom at Dover and all the areas in between. Our audience group is usually 65+ and they are all very interested in hearing the information. Many wish that they had access to this information when they looked after their mother or fathers. The areas in which we are delivering the program are the high unemployment, low socioeconomic areas.
