significant. Compared to patients 65-69 years old, the ORs for refusal were 5.65 (95% CI 2.27 14.09) for those 70-74 years old; 3.63 (95% CI 1.32 9.99) for those 75-79 years old; and 2.44 (95%CI 0.78 7.66) for those ages > 80. Race, education level, and co-morbidity were not associated with refusal. Conclusions: In order to improve acceptance of dementia screening, development of a decision aid emphasizing the potential benefits of screening may reduce patient reluctance to be screened. Further work needs to be conducted to understand what motivates older patients to accept and undergo screening.
