To tackle stigmatization associated with dementia, in 2012 the Alzheimer Experience was developed. This free online media production, that virtually follows the life of two persons with dementia, shows people what it is like to have dementia, in order to improve their knowledge and understanding of dementia. This study describes the results of the evaluation of the Alzheimer Experience.
