Using big data to understand the health status, service use, and service pathways of people with less common types of dementia

3DN conducted a study to describe and understand the health service needs of people living with less common types of dementia. We used linked data from a large sample of people living with dementia who had been admitted to hospital in NSW.

We created a fact sheet for people living with less common types of dementia, care partners, and health professionals to give a summary of what we found, and what this may mean for people living with less common types of dementia.

Health profiles, health services use and transition to dementia in individuals with self-harm

3DN conducted a study to investigate health service needs for people with a history of self-harm who have dementia. We used linked data from a large sample of people living with dementia who had been admitted to hospital, went to the emergency department, or used outpatient mental health services in NSW.

We created a fact sheet for people living with dementia and their care partners to give a summary of what we found, and what this means for people living with dementia.
