Summary

This study tested whether an anti-stigma training program for healthcare providers improves attitudes toward people with mental illness or substance use problems. About 485 staff and clients from six health centers took part, with three centers receiving the training and three not. Surveys measured changes in stigma and social distance. The goal is to see if such programs can reduce discrimination in healthcare.
