Cultural adaptation and validation of the social functioning in dementia scale (SF‐DEM) in Taiwanese patients with dementia

The social functioning in dementia scale (SF‐DEM) is a 20‐item interviewer‐administered questionnaire, with patient‐ and carer‐rated versions. It was the first test designed to measure social function in people with dementia. It has not been validated in people with dementia in a Taiwanese population. We aimed to culturally adapt then validate the SF‐DEM in Taiwan and explore correlates of social functioning.
