Led by Dr. Debra Morgan, the Rural Dementia Action Research (RaDAR) Team is an interdisciplinary group of knowledge users and researchers from three Canadian provinces (SK, AB, ON) and the United Kingdom.

We see a critical need for improved healthcare delivery to rural populations, which have a higher proportion of seniors than cities, but fewer primary health care, specialist, and support services available and accessible locally.
Rural Dementia Action Research (RaDAR) investigators share a team research program as well as affiliated studies and projects focusing on the diagnosis, management, and care of individuals with dementia, and their caregivers. Check out the latest RaDAR Newsletter and catch up with the team!
