Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined methods to measure “implicit” attitudes toward dementia, attitudes that are difficult to intentionally manipulate on one's own, and found that they were difficult to measure in some participants. In addition, an online educational program on dementia was developed, and differences in effectiveness due to the combination of content were examined, and it was found that there were no significant differences by content.
