“…Particularly needed is exploration of the attitudes of those who have not been affected by dementia since, they, not persons with dementia, are likely to initiate and maintain the use of community services (Collins, Stommel, King, & Given, 1991). Their attitudes can influence help-seeking intention and behavior, i.e., whether families will use services, which services they will use, when they will use services, the amount of services they will use once initiated, and whether a service is considered useful (Bass, McCarthy, Eckert, & Bichelr, 1994;Collins et al, 1991;Miller & Mukherjee, 1999;Pedlar & Biegel, 1999). Therefore, investigating the public's attitudes is necessary to understand the future demand for community services and prepare for these demands from potential users.…”
