Reducing Stigma Through a Mental Health Art Exhibition and Its Printed Brochure
Sponsor: Hunan University
Summary
Mental health art exhibitions, as an intervention strategy integrating artistic expression and social contact, have the potential to positively impact the elimination of stigma and discrimination associated with mental health problems. Based on a two-phase experimental design, this study aims to evaluate the effect of a real-world mental health art exhibition (Phase One) and its printed brochure (Phase Two) on stigma/discrimination and related outcomes, such as mental health literacy. The evaluation will encompass three categories of people: those with lived experience of mental disorders, family members and friends of those with lived experience, and the general public. Qualitative methods, such as in-depth interviews, will also be used for the evaluation.
