Abstract
Friends of Dementia is a campaign to promote the creation of a dementia-friendly community in Singapore. The campaign aimed to educate and empower the Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) students from universities and polytechnics on the issues of dementia, thus becoming a Friend of Dementia who contributes positively towards building a dementia-friendly community. Besides delving into the current literature, a survey and focus group discussions were conducted to gain a deeper understanding of IHL students’ knowledge, attitude and behaviour towards dementia. The insights from the formative research helped to inform the campaign’s strategy which aimed to educate IHL students to become a Friend of Dementia, as well as to affect attitudinal and behavioural changes.
