“…21 Kissel and Carpenter found wide variation in GPs' disclosure practices (for example, words used, topics covered), with their strategy differing from patient to patient. 22 The difficulty with disclosing to patients may be because dementia carries a huge burden of stigma: [23][24][25][26] devaluation, social exclusion, reduced autonomy, and loss of status. 26 Robinson and colleagues showed GPs were cognisant of the emotive dimensions of diagnosis, although they were unsure how to address them.…”

“…This is particularly the case where people have been symptom free, for example never having experienced ill-health related to their bones but having been diagnosed as at risk of osteoporosis (Salter et al, 2011); although it may also be the case where individuals or their families have noticed changes, for example relating to the development of dementia (Milne, 2010). In addition, risk models are increasingly being used to identify high risk populations, particularly for certain cancers, who may then be offered screening (Holmberg and Parascandola, 2010).…”

“…Being given a diagnosis or an 'at risk' label allocates the individual to a new social group (Milne, 2010), and where mental health is concerned this is often one that is viewed negatively. One of the reasons that older people resist a diagnosis of dementia is due to its association with several social problems (Milne, 2010) and the young people in our study were certainly aware of the potential drawbacks to their diagnosis becoming known, in terms of how their friends and people around them would react.…”

These findings indicate that there are indeed personal benefits for screening for psychosis risk in young people, despite the 'undesirability' of identification reported in other areas of health.The benefits observed may reflect genuine differences in adolescent mental health or the methodological constraints of this exploratory study. Nevertheless, the results contribute to the understanding and on-going debate of screening for illness in potential 'at-risk'populations.

“…D'ailleurs, les évaluations cognitives précoces auprès d'individus présentant des symptômes de démence, en plus de permettre l'identification et le traitement des pseudodémences au moment opportun, permettent le diagnostic précoce de la démence, lequel est entre autres nécessaire à la mise en place d'interventions visant à ralentir la détérioration cognitive et à améliorer la qualité de vie de l'individu atteint (Lee, et collab., 2010;Milne, 2010;Weimer et Sager, 2009;Camicioli, 2006). De plus, selon les résultats de l'étude de Weimer et Sager (2009), la prise en charge précoce de la démence permettrait de réduire de façon importante les coûts qui y sont associés.…”

Cette étude explore les perceptions, croyances, connaissances et attitudes d’un groupe d’aînés francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick face à la démence et à son diagnostic; le diagnostic précoce de la démence est crucial autant pour l’identification des causes réversibles que pour la mise en place rapide d’interventions de prévention secondaire. Quatre-vingt-onze francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick âgés de 65 ans et plus ont été interrogés face à la démence et à son diagnostic dans cette étude quantitative exploratoire. Entre autres, bien que les participants de cette étude aient rapporté avoir peur de recevoir un diagnostic de démence, la plupart voudraient recevoir le diagnostic s’ils en étaient atteints. Les résultats soulignent l’importance d’éduquer la population face à la démence et aux services d’évaluation de la démence. D’autres implications sont discutées.This study explores the perceptions, beliefs, knowledge and attitudes of a group of francophone seniors from New Brunswick in regards to dementia and its diagnosis; the early diagnosis of dementia is crucial both for the identification of reversible causes and the timely implementation of interventions for secondary prevention. Ninety-one francophone seniors from New Brunswick aged 65 and older were surveyed in regards to dementia and its diagnosis in this exploratory quantitative study. Among other things, it was found that although the participants from this study feared receiving a diagnosis of dementia, most would want to receive the diagnosis if they had dementia. Results stress the importance of educating the public regarding dementia and its evaluation services. Other implications are discussed
