Targets for change and interventions for changing stigmatizing attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors are discussed in Chapter 4.įINDINGS FROM SURVEYS OF PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AND NORMS This chapter offers a brief overview of what is currently understood about stigma, including influencing factors and consequences of stigma from the level of society as a whole to the experience of people with behavioral health disorders. Discriminatory policies and practices can appear to endorse negative social norms and deepen self-stigma. Attention to stigmatizing structures of society, such as laws and regulations, enables examination of prejudice and discrimination against people with mental and substance use disorders.
