To analyse changes in the quantity and quality of media reporting about dementia in Australian media between two time periods.
A media retrieval service collected all news items related to dementia. Quality ratings based on previously developed criteria were made for a stratified random sample of items - 1129 items for 2000/2001 and 1606 for 2006/2007. Nine items of quality were assessed. A summary score for quality was constructed. The content of the sampled media items was also coded.
Overall, the mean total quality score for dementia-related items significantly improved over the study period. There were very large improvements in quality of reporting of 'sensationalism', 'language' and 'provision of information about help services' and some small deterioration in quality for 'medical terminology' and 'illness versus person'.
A very positive finding here is that generally the quality of reporting dementia has improved over the period studied.
分析两个时间段内澳大利亚媒体关于痴呆症报道的数量和质量变化。
一个媒体检索服务机构收集了所有与痴呆症相关的新闻报道。根据先前制定的标准，对分层随机抽取的报道进行质量评级——2000/2001年抽取1129条，2006/2007年抽取1606条。评估了九项质量指标，并构建了质量综合得分。对抽样媒体报道的内容也进行了编码。
总体而言，在研究期间，与痴呆症相关报道的总体质量平均得分显著提高。在“轰动效应”“语言”和“提供帮助服务信息”方面的报道质量有很大提升，而在“医学术语”和“疾病与人”方面质量略有下降。
这里一个非常积极的发现是，在所研究的时间段内，关于痴呆症报道的质量总体上有所提高。
