Plain-language summary

The objective of a new report, ‘European Dementia Monitor 2017: comparing and benchmarking national dementia strategies and policies’, is to provide a benchmark of national dementia policies in order to compare the responses of European countries to the dementia challenge in different domains. This benchmarking of national dementia policies is intended as a tool for national organisations to compare their situation to that of other European countries. For Alzheimer Europe as a European organisation it is key to understand what differences exist, why they exist and how to find better solutions.

Key findings

Why it matters

This report benchmarks national dementia policies across Europe to compare countries' responses to the dementia challenge. It is about access to dementia care and treatment, not about curing or preventing Alzheimer's disease.

Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on senior author's track record, so that was left out: it earned 23 of the 96 points we could judge it on, which is 24 out of 100.
