Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Personal Acceptance Scale (PAS)
The PAS is a questionnaire targeted to public stigma, the "negative attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors held within a community" against individuals with mental illness. Each yes adds one point to the scale, and five questions from each scale were reverse-scored to match the direction of the scale. There were ten questions, therefore it generated a score between zero and ten. Higher scores indicated more acceptance and less stigma towards mental illness, while lower scores indicated less acceptance and more stigma towards mental illness.
One year. For each interview, approximately 60 minutes.
Broad Acceptance Scale (BAS)
The BAS is a questionnaire targeted to distal public stigma. Each yes adds one point to the scale, and five questions from each scale were reverse-scored to match the direction of the scale. There were ten questions, therefore it generated a score between zero and ten. Higher scores indicated more acceptance and less stigma towards mental illness, while lower scores indicated less acceptance and more stigma towards mental illness.
One year. For each interview, approximately 60 minutes.
Attributed Stigma Scale
Attributed stigma scale will be a modification of the PAS to gather understanding of what participants believe the attitudes of others in their community are. Each yes adds one point to the scale, and five questions from each scale were reverse-scored to match the direction of the scale. There were ten questions, therefore it generated a score between zero and ten. Higher scores indicated more acceptance and less stigma towards mental illness, while lower scores indicated less acceptance and more stigma towards mental illness.
One year. For each interview, approximately 60 minutes.
