Background: There is a well-documented lack or delay of diagnosis of dementia in all countries, including in Europe. Most general practitioners (GPs) have acquired adequate academic and scientific information about dementia but avoid using it in practice because of stigma.
Objectives: To persuade GPs of their role in dementia detection, an Antistigma education intervention was designed, with teaching objectives focusing on "Why" and "How" to diagnosis and manage dementia, based on ethical and practical content, as opposed to classical training centered on teaching "What", with mainly academic content.
