| Annotation | This article presents one strand of findings from a 3-year project funded through the Health Action Zone Innovations budget. The focus of this strand was to develop and deliver culturally appropriate support group materials for East European and South Asian family carers of relatives with dementia living in the UK. Analysis of interview and field note data revealed insights into how understanding of dementia in different cultural contexts can become operationalised through stigma processes and in turn influence the ways in which people with dementia and their family carers engage with formal and informal support.
