The government has not been allocating money for dementia research. However, there are research groups in health institutions and universities, mainly. In addition, federal and state level institutions, including the National Institute of Health, public hospitals, etc. can plan, budget, and allocate funds for research in any topic related to their mission, and as such, they could allocate funds to dementia research if they chose to. An overview of dementia research in Mexico shows that it has been increasing in recent years, mainly focused on clinical and intervention aspects, following those of an epidemiological nature, evaluation of informal care and the impact of the caregiver. However, there is little research on the effectiveness of interventions, the impact of dementia, as well as on other areas such as attitudes and stigma.
