What this Trial Is About
The investigators aim to elucidate attitudes and stigma towards mental illness in the pathways to mental healthcare among key stakeholders, such as traditional healers, religious leaders, families of those with mental illness, and those with mental illness. Investigators also will measure the levels of stigma expressed by members of the general community based on gender of the individual with mental illness and the specific mental health condition. Additionally, the investigators hope to convert the previously conducted theater intervention to a radio production, which is the most commonly used form of media in Uganda, and test its effectiveness for changing attitudes and reducing stigma towards mental illness throughout society.
