Commissaris, Kees; And Others
Educational Gerontology, v21 n8 p763-77 Dec 1995
Dutch adults were divided into 4 groups: (1) 26 who remained worried about dementia after reading a brochure about it; (2) 51 whose worry decreased after reading; (3) 7 who started worrying after reading; and (4) 26 not worried before or after reading. Cognitive test batteries showed the effects of the brochure were not in accordance with its goals for one-third of those tested. (SK)
