The loss of sense of selfhood is a commonly feared part of dementia, but little is known about how recent increased dementia media presence impacts wider public identities. The project aims to interrogate the concepts of ‘identity’ and ‘concern’ (or dementia worry) within dementia communication and media representation.

To explore RQ2 and 3, recent media coverage of dementia will be analysed for recurring themes. Vignettes/examples of key media messages about brain health/dementia risk then will comprise part of an attitudinal online questionnaire targeted at a large and broad sample of over 18s. This will substantively add to knowledge about the relationship between dementia media representation and individuals’ perceptions of risk and ‘concern’ about a most feared disease. Moreover, the questionnaire will be used as a recruitment tool to sample a diversity of respondents for f…
