The Global Dementia Observatory Reference Guide

The document is divided into three main chapters, each addressing one of the three GDO domains (i.e. Policy, Service delivery and Information & Research) and their related subdomains; and a Glossary for technical terms.
Indicators are listed under their corresponding domain/subdomain together with an indicator definition, indicator rationale, method of estimation, and potential data sources. To assist countries in collating the relevant information, indicators are articulated as questions and subquestions, along with possible response options.
For the purpose of streamlining the GDO data collection further, all indicator questions are available in an online data collection instrument, the GDO e-tool. It is available in English, French and Spanish. Other translations are planned.
