Abstract

Background: Public stigma against people with mental health problems is damaging to individuals with mental illness and is associated with substantial societal burden.

Aims: To investigate whether public knowledge, attitudes and behaviour in relation to people with mental health problems have improved among the English population since the inception of the Time To Change programme in 2009.

Method: We analysed longitudinal trends in public knowledge, attitudes and behaviour between 2009 and 2012 among a nationally representative sample of English adults.

Results: There were improvements in intended behaviour (0.07 standard deviation units, 95% CI 0.01-0.14) and a non-significant trend for improvement in attitudes (P = 0.08) among the English population. There was, however, no significant improvement in knowledge or reported behaviour.

Conclusions: The findings provide support for effectiveness of the national Time to Change programme against stigma and discrimination in improving attitudes and intended behaviour, but not knowledge, among the public in England.

2009-2012年英格兰关于精神疾病患者的公众知识、态度和行为。

背景：公众对精神健康问题患者的耻辱感对精神疾病患者具有破坏性，并与沉重的社会负担有关。目的：调查自2009年“时间改变”项目启动以来，英国民众对精神健康问题患者的公众知识、态度和行为是否有所改善。方法：我们分析了2009年至2012年间具有全国代表性的英国成年人样本中公众知识、态度和行为的纵向趋势。结果：在英国人群中，预期行为有改善（0.07个标准差单位，95% CI 0.01-0.14），态度有改善的非显著趋势（P = 0.08）。然而，在知识和行为方面并没有显著的进步。结论：研究结果支持了国家“改变时间”计划在改善英格兰公众的态度和预期行为方面的有效性，而不是知识。
