Abstract

This study utilized a vignette methodology to examine the impact of cause and treatment information on public stigma in bipolar disorder. The questionnaire was completed by 398 MTurkers. Treatment information reduced stigma in terms of fear/dangerousness, desire for social distance, and responsibility, which has implications for destigmatization campaigns.
