(2022). Evaluation of a pilot, community-led mental illness de-stigmatization theater intervention in rural uganda. BMC psychiatry, 22(1), 1-15.https://doi.org/10.1186/s12888-022-04441-w1471-244Xhttps://nru.uncst.go.ug/handle/123456789/7898In rural areas of low- and middle- income countries, mental health care is often unavailable and inaccessible, and stigma is a major barrier to treatment. Destigmatization can increase treatment-seeking attitudes, community support, and acceptance of individuals suffering from mental illness. This study’s primary objective was to evaluate the impact of a community-led, theater-based destigmatization campaign for mental illness conducted in the Busoga region of Eastern Uganda.enMental healthStigmaArtTheaterNarrativeArticle
