Exploring novel public health approaches to support dementia literacy

This project focused on developing and evaluating an interactive art exhibit designed to engage participants in activities linked to reducing dementia risk. The exhibit integrated educational content about lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, mental stimulation, social engagement, and healthy eating, with immersive, interactive art installations. The primary goals were to assess the exhibit's impact on participants' understanding of dementia risk factors and to explore the potential of art-based interventions for public health awareness and behavioural change. The collected dataset includes both quantitative and qualitative data. Pre- and post-exhibit surveys capturing participants’ self-reported behaviour intentions, and confidence in implementing risk-reducing practices, as well as semi-structured interviews with a subset of participants to gain deeper insights into their experience and how the exhibit may influence their behaviour.
