Researchers define the kind of people they seek and the StepUp for Dementia Research system matches that description to the information you provide.
Once you match to a study, researchers from that study will be able to see all the information you submitted into the website. If you do not match to their study, the researcher cannot see your information. They can use the information to see if you are likely to be suitable.
Sometimes StepUp for Dementia Research might not have all the information needed to provide a really accurate match. When this happens, the researcher might ask you to provide additional details, for example, to state if you live with a carer or maybe have had a specific health issue in the past few months. This extra information will help the researcher decide if you might be a match for study participation.
