Abstract

Background: Research suggests that levels of discrimination against people using mental health services are high; however, reports of these people's experiences are rare.

Aims: To determine whether the Time to Change (TTC) programme target of 5% reduction in discrimination has been achieved.

Method: Separate samples of people using mental health services were interviewed annually from 2008 to 2011 using the Discrimination and Stigma Scale to record instances of discrimination.

Results: Ninety-one per cent of participants reported one or more experiences of discrimination in 2008 compared with 88% in 2011 (z = -1.9, P = 0.05). The median negative discrimination score was 40% in 2008 and 28% in 2011 (Kruskal-Wallis χ(2) = 83.4, P<0.001).

Conclusions: The proportion of participants experiencing no discrimination increased significantly over the course of TTC but by less than the initial target. The overall median discrimination score fell by 11.5%. Data from 2010 and 2011 suggest that these gains may be hard to maintain during economic austerity.

2008-2011年英格兰使用精神卫生服务的人遭受歧视的经历。

背景：研究表明，对使用精神卫生服务的人的歧视程度很高；然而，关于这些人的经历的报道很少。目的：确定是否已经实现了减少5%歧视的时间改变（TTC）计划目标。方法：2008年至2011年，采用《歧视与污名化量表》，每年对使用精神卫生服务的人群进行单独抽样调查，记录歧视情况。结果：与2011年的88%相比，2008年91%的参与者报告了一次或多次歧视经历（z = -1.9, P = 0.05）。2008年的中位数负歧视得分为40%，2011年为28% （Kruskal-Wallis χ(2) = 83.4, p）结论：在TTC过程中，没有歧视的参与者比例显著增加，但低于最初的目标。总体中位数歧视得分下降了11.5%。2010年和2011年的数据表明，在经济紧缩期间，这些收益可能难以维持。
