Objectives: To determine the prevalence of dementia‐related behaviors in a large, multiethnic sample of community‐dwelling patients with moderate to severe dementia and to determine whether differences in patient or caregiver characteristics could explain any differences in prevalence of these behaviors between white and nonwhite patients.
