Abstract

Pathologists (n = 571) in Michigan were surveyed to examine the problem of limited access to autopsy experienced by families of patients with dementia and to assist with the implementation of the Michigan Dementia Program. The survey determined the extent to which pathologists performed autopsies for patients with dementia and/or were willing to do so as part of a statewide Postmortem Examination Program. Responses from 394 pathologists (69%) indicated that 49% were willing to perform brain removal and 44% were interested in learning more about the statewide program. The survey results were used to recruit pathologists, to identify potential problems, and to provide baseline data against which to measure the effects of a fully implemented program.
