Abstract

Evidence for the lived experience of dementia within the South Asian community was limited to individual studies across different contexts. Knowledge was lacking into the attitudes and beliefs about dementia within this community. This article critically appraises and evaluates a qualitative synthesis of evidence that explores the knowledge and awareness of dementia in South Asians.
