Health promotion programs and strategies have the potential to support people to live healthier lives. Dementia, a collective name for brain disorders that impact thinking and memory, affects over 55 million people worldwide. Currently, there is no cure for dementia, so prevention is critical. Health promotion has the potential to reduce dementia by targeting the twelve potentially modifiable risk factors. A project currently being undertaken by the research team aims to strengthen the quality of clinical care and health services that specifically address dementia risk for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. One of the intended strategies supporting the project's aim is the need for appropriate and safe health promotion programs and resources that support dementia risk reduction. Consequently, the aim of this scoping review is to identify and determine the quality and appropriateness of existing health promotion programs and resources aimed at dementia risk reduction developed or modified for Indigenous populations of Canada, the USA, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Australia that could be incorporated into the broader project. The Joanna Briggs Institute method for scoping reviews will be used to identify programs and resources focussed on dementia risk reduction for Indigenous peoples. Searches will be limited to the English language and literature published since January 2010. Databases to be searched include: CINAHL, Medline, PsychInfo, PubMed, Scopus and Google. Data that answers the research questions will be extracted from the literature and recorded on a data charting form. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to analyse the findings of the scoping review. Dissemination of the findings through continuing community engagement, conference presentations and publications will be led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of the research team.
健康促进计划和策略有可能支持人们过上更健康的生活。痴呆症是一组影响思维和记忆的大脑疾病的统称，影响着全球超过 5500 万人。目前，痴呆症尚无治愈方法，因此预防至关重要。健康促进有可能通过针对 12 个潜在可改变的风险因素来降低痴呆症的发病率。研究小组目前正在进行的一个项目旨在加强专门针对澳大利亚原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民痴呆症风险的临床护理和卫生服务的质量。支持该项目目标的一项既定战略是需要适当和安全的健康促进计划和资源，以支持降低痴呆症风险。因此，本范围综述的目的是确定和确定为加拿大、美国、新西兰和澳大利亚的土著人口开发或修改的、旨在降低痴呆症风险的现有健康促进计划和资源的质量和适宜性，这些计划和资源可以纳入更广泛的项目中。将使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的范围综述方法来确定针对加拿大、美国、新西兰和澳大利亚土著人民的痴呆症风险降低计划和资源。搜索将仅限于 2010 年 1 月以来发表的英文文献。将搜索的数据库包括：CINAHL、Medline、PsychInfo、PubMed、Scopus 和 Google。从文献中提取回答研究问题的数据，并记录在数据图表表单上。将使用定量和定性方法相结合来分析范围综述的结果。通过持续的社区参与、会议演讲和出版物，由研究团队中的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民成员来传播研究结果。
