Rasmussen JD, Kakuhikire B, Baguma C, et al. - In a population-based, randomized survey experiment carried randomly assigning various people in eight villages to be read a vignette about— a woman who had symptoms indicative of one of three distinct types of mental illness; a woman who had these symptoms and was treated fortunately; or a woman who had these symptoms and was treated successfully but consequently relapsed, in order to know how information about successful treatment of mental illness might influence stigmatizing opinions in rural southwestern Uganda. It was discovered that stigma toward mental illness in the community was prevalent and was generally uninfluenced by accounts of successful treatment. Hence, portrayals of efficiently treated mental illness did not seem to decrease the approval of stigmatizing beliefs about mental illness or about persons with mental illness. Moreover, these conclusions run opposite to evidence from the United States.
