Project Summary

This is a mixed-methods systematic review, reviewing the evidence of both qualitative and quantitative studies in the field. The aim of this review is to understand the impact of the pandemic and its associated restrictions on the lives of people living with dementia and unpaid carers, specifically focusing on three key areas: (1) Health (including mental health, physical health, cognitive health and dementia symptomatology, and social health); (2) Social care access and utilisation; and (3) Financial implications.

Outputs / Expected Outputs

We will submit the systematic review to a journal, and create a lay summary of the findings.
