Project description

This study forms a part of a cross-national comparative study about stigmatization, with as a major aim the formulation and testing of a multidisciplinary multilevel model. By means of standardized face-to-face interviews in a representative sample of the general population in 25 countries, the ideas, attitudes and behavioral intentions against persons with mental health problems are compared.
