Exploring the awareness of changes in outdoor mobility and the influence of the neighbourhood environment among people living with dementia in British Columbia, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fostering an inclusive neighbourhood environment is a critical part of the social responsibility to support people living with dementia to participate in community activities and maintain autonomy, identity, health, and wellbeing. Dementia scholars and advocates have emphasized the need to understand how people living with dementia interact with and adapt to the neighbourhood environment. This understanding will inform dementia-inclusive policy and practice to create enabling physical and social environments. The present study explores the experiential knowledge of people living with dementia gained through their awareness of age and disease-related changes, perceptions of the neighbourhood environment, and adaptive processes to maintain outdoor walking. Sequential semi-structured sit-down and video-documented go-along interviews were conducted with 14 people living with mild to moderate dementia in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia. Thematic analysis produced two themes: 1) Awareness of needing to adapt to changing abilities to walk in the neighbourhood, and 2) Heightened awareness of risk factors and influence of neighbourhood environment on outdoor mobility adaptations. Recognizing people’s awareness and adaptive responses, and cultivating relational understandings of the agency and capacities of people living with dementia are integral to creating inclusive neighbourhood environments that enhance the capabilities for participation in the community.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
