Abstract

Public health messaging is an ethically fraught exercise. Health campaigns on dementia can not only enable equity and promote systemic health improvements but also reinforce the stigma associated with the disease or attribute moral culpability to the affected populations. As a new era of dementia prevention, marked by rapid advances in research and growing public awareness, dawns, the ethical implications of messaging need to be considered carefully.
