Abstract

State dementia strategic plans provide policy and practice recommendations to reduce the risk, progression, and impact of dementia. Yet there is little systematic understanding of the contents of state plans nor how they aim to influence dementia strategy. This article analyzes state dementia plans, identifying five underspecified dementia policy areas in recent state plans and inconsistency in how states monitor the implementation of plans for effectiveness.
