Project description
 

This study forms a part of a larger international study about the stigma of mental health problems. Its major aim is the cross-national comparison of the public opinion - negative cognitions, attitudes and behaviors - against persons with mental health problems, including items referring to the own mental health status and hypothetical service use preferences of the respondent.
