Predictors of stigmatizing and de-stigmatizing articles on mental illness in the printe media : a Central European perspective

This study shows representation of the stigmatizing messages in printed media about mental illnesses in Croatia, Czech Republic and Slovakia. 61.8% of articles contained some stigmatizing statements towards persons with mental illness. As the strongest predictors of stigmatizing content we have identified articles that are published in tabloids and articles with reference to psychosis. Contrary to this, eating disorders had the least stigmatizing depiction as well as articles containing scientific data.
