National survey reports attitudes and behaviors towards schizophrenia and other conditions, suggesting intervention targets.
These findings support our recent pilot study and provide further evidence that stigma differs towards different conditions in Ireland, with Irish people perceiving more negative societal attitudes, and self-reporting more negative behaviour, towards schizophrenia. The finding that familiarity with schizophrenia predicted more positive behaviour and that this was mediated by reduced perception of danger suggests targets for future anti-stigma interventions.
