Rationale:

Definition:
Existence of public awareness campaign to improve understanding and reduce stigma and discrimination against people with dementia in the past year.

Inventory of currently implemented and functioning dementia-awareness and risk reduction campaigns, described project by project, provided by national authority's response.
