The responses of participants to the following statement: ‘I have heard of dementia’. The responses of participants from each of the ethnic groups were rearranged into a 3-point Likert subscale format of ‘disagree’, ‘not sure’ and ‘agree’. At least 70.8 percent of Chinese, 71.4 percent of Malaysians, 71.7 percent of Indians, 80.0 percent of Caucasians, and 50.0 percent of Pakistanis had heard of dementia, which suggests that the majority of the Singaporean population was aware of dementia.
