The current study examined the influence of gender, education, and exposure to people with dementia on comfort with people with dementia and dementia knowledge. A MANOVA demonstrated that being female, having a bachelor's or graduate degree, and knowing someone with dementia produced the highest scores for comfort and knowledge.
