Comments on research in the social sciences pertaining to Alzheimer's disease: A more humble approach.
This paper suggests that social scientists should make greater efforts to study those questions that truly address the daily needs of the AD community; that they should be more creative in their approach to future care, especially with regard to the social implications of new anti-dementia drugs and other treatments that may alter the course of the disease; and that more research is needed with respect to end of life care, and the controversies surrounding the use of tube-feeding and antibiotics.
