Examining the care priorities, service needs and lived experiences of rural people with cognitive impairment and dementia in Canada: a scoping review protocol
Given this scoping review will be an examination of the published literature, human subjects will not be included in this research. Therefore, ethics approval is not required. Knowledge mobilisation and dissemination strategies will include peer-reviewed journal articles, conference presentations, community workshops, newsletter articles and webinars. This study may provide valuable information for healthcare practitioners, community leaders and policymakers working to support people living with cognitive impairment and dementia in rural communities.
