Alzheimer Society reveals focus group insights in Canada
The Alzheimer Society conducted focus groups and an online survey with early stage patients across Canada to identify concerns. Key findings include desire for compassionate diagnoses, independence, communication help, reducing isolation, and hope for better treatments and a cure. Canada wide stats and Manitoba specifics are cited, with resources like a booklet Shared Experiences and a new Creative Space online section. January marks Alzheimer Awareness Month and the 2002 campaign is aided by Pfizer Canada, Manulife, Novartis, and Janssen-Ortho.
