Abstract: We investigated mental disorder stigma in Filipinos and Americans. We found that, for Filipinos, lower parental education, lower urbanization, and having a relative with a mental disorder were associated with increased stigma. For Americans, increased participant education and having a relative with a mental disorder were associated with decreased stigma.
