Demographic data, including professional age measures how long the artist has been practising with people with dementia. Number of journals an artist receives or subscribes to as a measure of media exposure; number of conferences attended in the last year as a measure of network exposure; artists with an honorary position in their hospital/local authority; artistic orientation, coded as ‘1’ if the artist agrees with the statement that it is more important for an artist to ‘keep herself/himself informed of new artistic interventions than to devote time to practising art’ and ‘0’ otherwise.	Demographic data, including attitudes, beliefs and knowledge about people with dementia (Approaches to Dementia Questionnaire)38
