Indicator name:
Dementia care: implementation level [national/subnational] of dementia awareness campaign
Indicator Id:
5189
Rationale:
Dementia-awareness and risk-reduction campaigns that are tailored to the cultural contexts and particular needs of a community can promote enhanced health and social outcomes that reflect the wishes and preferences of people with dementia, as well as improve the quality of life of people with dementia, their carers and the broader community.
Definition:
Level of implementation of public awareness campaign to improve understanding and reduce stigma and discrimination against people with dementia in the past year. Functioning is defined as having the following components: dedicated financial resources, programme management, documented evidence of progress and impact. Awareness-raising and risk reduction campaigns may and preferably should cover both universal, population-level strategies (for example, mass media campaigns against dementia stigmatization and discrimination) and those aimed at locally-identified vulnerable groups (for example, older people, women, people with low educational attainment, high-risk populations such as smokers and ethnic minorities).
Method of estimation:
Inventory of currently implemented and functioning dementia-awareness and risk reduction campaigns, described project by project, provided by national authority's response.
