AB  - Implications for practice and research: Non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) 
      should be the first line of treatment for the behavioural and psychological 
      symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Multicomponent NPIs tailored to individual and 
      caregiver needs can reduce BPSD in community settings. Current instruments that 
      measure BPSD lack precision, diluting the observed effect of NPIs; more precise 
      outcome measures are needed. Quality-of-life indicators may be more sensitive 
      measures of NPI benefits than reduction in negative behaviours.
