One of the major goals of the 3-year Dementia Friendly Community Campaign is to have 10,000 individuals from the general public to register as Dementia Friends Hong Kong during 2019 – 2021. As of March 2020, there have already been over 15,400 Dementia Friends in Hong Kong, which has far exceeded its targeted number (Hong Kong Alzheimer’s Disease Association, 2020a). Other than the number of registered Dementia Friends, there is no other source of evaluation or evidence of impact identified.
