The lives of close family members to persons with DRD are deeply affected. The study focuses on use and non- use of public services among persons with dementia and their informal caregivers. This study will provide knowledge about local and individual differences in use and non-use of services and explore practice conditions to reveal similarities and equalities between communities, ethnic and social groups.
