| Abstract | Many people living with dementia and unpaid carers experience inequalities in care related to challenges in receiving a correct diagnosis, care and support. Whilst complexities of the evidence are well recognised including barriers in receiving a diagnosis or post-diagnostic care, no coherent model has captured the far-reaching types and levels of inequalities to date. Building on the established Dahlgren & Whitehead Rainbow model of health determinants, this paper introduces the new Dementia Inequalities model. The Dementia Inequalities model, similar to the original general rainbow model, categorises determinants of health and well-being in dementia into three layers: (1) Individual; (2) Social and community networks; and (3) Society and infrastructure. Each layer comprises of general determinants, which have been identified in the original model but also may be different in dementia, such as age (specifically referring to young- versus late-onset dementia) and ethnicity, as well as new dementia-specific determinants, such as rare dementia subtype, having an unpaid carer, and knowledge about dementia in the health and social care workforce. Each layer and its individual determinants are discussed referring to existing research and evidence syntheses in the field, arguing for the need of this new model. A total of 48 people with lived, caring, and professional experiences of dementia have been consulted in the process of the development of this model. The Dementia Inequalities model provides a coherent, evidence-based overview of inequalities in dementia diagnosis and care and can be used in health and social care, as well as in commissioning of care services, to support people living with dementia and their unpaid carers better and try and create more equity in diagnosis and care. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
