This study investigated the views on the early diagnosis of dementia from over 1000 general practitioners (GPs) from 12 Health Authority areas in England and Wales. Almost half of the GPs did not believe it was beneficial to make an early diagnosis, yet most admitted they needed more training in the area. In areas where there had been specific efforts to contact and educate local GPs, the GPs were far more likely to believe in the value of early diagnosis.
这项研究调查了来自英格兰和威尔士12个卫生当局地区的1000多名全科医生（GP）对痴呆症早期诊断的看法。几乎一半的全科医生认为早期诊断并无益处，但大多数人承认他们在该领域需要更多培训。在那些为联系并培训当地全科医生做出了特别努力的地区，全科医生更有可能相信早期诊断的价值。
