Respondents were asked about their knowledge of and attitudes about dementia.RESULTS:Knowledge about cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and life impact of dementia is characterized by a relatively high uncertainty.

People with more knowledge are less likely to believe that dementia patients have a high quality of life, but tend to be less skeptical about early detection of dementia.CONCLUSIONS:To increase knowledge, reduce uncertainty and modify attitudes towards dementia and those who are afflicted, educational programs and contact-based approaches should be considered.KEYWORDS:Attitudes; Beliefs; Dementia; Germany; Knowledge; Survey",
