Public wants scanning for Alzheimer’s Disease
Research Australia’s public opinion poll 2008, conducted by Crosby|Textor, has found that two thirds of Australians would take a test for a disease such as Alzheimer’s, even without a current treatment.
The poll, to be released later this year, found that 25% of those surveyed were ‘extremely likely’ to take such a test and 41% were ‘somewhat likely’.
The finding has been reported in the first of Research Australia’s Health research and you fact sheets, launched in Perth.
The Health research and you fact sheets outline the impact of major diseases on the community, leading edge research being undertaken in Australia, and the benefits of research for improving our lives.
The Alzheimer’s fact sheet is available on Research Australia’s website:
