Description
Amar Deep Patel and co-authors measure how much stigma medical students in India hold toward people with mental illness, and whether a short psychiatry stint softens it. Their 2024 study starts from scale: over 450 million people in the world live with such illness, and public scorn shadows their care. In India most patients live with family, so that scorn lands at home.
A web form carried a standard scale of felt devaluation to two groups. One, 72 students, had done a two-week psychiatry posting with lectures. The other, 176 students, had no such training. The paper sets their scores side by side to test whether close contact and teaching move the needle on stigma.
