Health Care Consent Survey of Family Caregivers of People living with Dementia |

| 1 / 4 | 25% |
The Canadian Centre for Elder Law, in collaboration with the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia, is examining the law, policy and practice of consent to health care in the context of aging and dementia. This 16-month project funded by the Law Foundation of British Columbia involves extensive comparative legal research on informed consent and interrelated areas of the law, as well as community and key stakeholder consultation. The work is informed by an expert interdisciplinary advisory committee and will culminate in a report identifying areas for law and practice reform and at least one plain language educational resource on health care consent rights.
This year we have been holding focus groups with people living with dementia and their family caregivers to learn more about your experiences with health care consent. As a final step in consultation we are conducting this online survey of family caregivers of people living with dementia who make health care decisions or assist with health care decisions for the person living with dementia.
