Evidence Briefing: Behaviour that challenges in dementia

James, Ian A.; Moniz-Cook, Esme

Abstract

Key messages
•Behaviour that challenges (BtC) can be a consequence of a person’s unmet health or psychosocial need(s).
•‘Non-pharmacological’ approaches are the first-line treatments, rather than psychotropic medications.
•Service pathways for people living at home require different workforce skills and resources compared with those living in 24-hour care settings.
