The process of developing a score to measure dementia‐friendliness in African American faith communities
This tool demonstrates appropriate and reliable measurement of dementia friendliness in relatively homogenous church communities and accommodates diverse geographic locations (i.e., urban, rural, suburban) and community sizes. The five components can be scored individually to assess areas of strength or improvement or used as an overall measure of dementia-friendliness.
