  Author(s): Peter Carey*
  
  Dementia is a growing global public health concern, with prevention increasingly emphasised through the promotion of modifiable lifestyle and health risk factors. In response, a range of digital dementia risk-reduction education resources has been developed to support public awareness and encourage preventative behaviours, particularly among adults in midlife. Despite this expansion, improvements in knowledge do not consistently translate into sustained behavioural change, leaving the underlying mechanisms through which digital health education influences behaviour poorly understood. This multi-phase mixed-methods study examines how cognitively unimpaired midlife adults aged 40–65 years engage with and interpret digital dementia risk-reduction education, and how these processes shape behavioural intentions and readiness for behaviour change.
