Summary

In a mixed-methods design the investigators will study decision making processes and experiences regarding a diagnostic trajectory before and after the introduction of a patient decision aid for people with memory complaints, their significant others and their GPs. The 'before group' will receive diagnostics as usual from their GPs. The 'after group' will use the patient decision aid. The investigators expect the patient decision aid to increase the level of SDM and to contribute to a timely and personalized diagnostic trajectory. Data will be collected using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and information retrieved from people with memory complaints' medical records.
