| Annotation | The authors report on the findings of a research project to investigate the barriers to black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities attending memory services, with the aim of identifying interventions to increase referrals and attendance. The project used online questionnaires which gathered the views of 24 GPs (14% response rate) and 11 interpreters. In addition, interviews were conducted with 55 people aged 36-86 from BAME communities. The interviews identified two overarching themes: service awareness (issues such as language, travel and money); and cultural differences in perception and attitudes towards dementia. (RH). |
