Urban mental health in people with dementia

  • Applicant: Sumithra Velupillai
  • Project ID: 20-060

Urban environments can be important risk factors for developing dementia, but there have been few studies investigating the association between geographic location information (such as social deprivation, population density, air pollution and access to clinical services) and the course of the disease in those who already have dementia. This study will examine how the aforementioned geographic location information affects clinical outcomes in people who have been diagnosed with dementia.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
