Abstract
The MCLHB-DRR scale is based off of the health belief model and looks at the perceived susceptibility, benefits, barriers, and other areas of motivation for dementia risk reduction. Understanding how the type of relationship to someone with dementia plays on one’s motivation to change behaviors is beneficial for clinical treatment.
