The Project

This three-year study aimed to improve the lives of ethnically
diverse family carers and people living with dementia using
multilingual animations and digital fact sheets based on the
World Health Organization’s iSupport Lite programme, a project
partner.

Using co-production methods, the study culturally
adapted iSupport Lite by working with ethnically diverse family
carers, clinicians, service providers, and people living with
dementia, as well as the project partners Dementia Australia
and the Federation of Ethnic Communities Council of Australia.

The clinical and cost-effectiveness of the Draw-Care
Intervention was then evaluated in a trial involving 116 Italian,
Greek, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi, Tamil, Arabic, Vietnamese,
and Spanish-speaking carers.
