| Annotation | The authors review evidence indicative of the lack of awareness about dementia in black and minority ethnic (BME) communities. This lack of awareness appears to prevent help-seeking and for BME communities to be under-represented in dementia services. The Time to Change campaign (www.time-to-change.org.uk) is a national campaign launched in 2007 that aims to reduce stigma against mental health problems. The Older People's Mental Health service in Hampshire has been working with the campaign to target older adults, and has been developing ideas on how to tackle stigma and attitudes towards dementia and memory problems in the county's largest BME group, South Asians.
