To facilitate mental health treatment, future
ursing research should include developing and
valuating theory-based interventions to reduce
igma both on the micro and macro level.
mplementation can occur by targeting groups that
old influence over people with mental disorders
e.g., teachers, policymakers, employers, landlords,
ealth care providers, media) and tailoring inter-
entions to these groups (Corrigan, 2004b). Testing
he effectiveness of theory-based interventions for
hese targeted groups is helpful to program
valuation, replication, and dispersion of the
ntervention effect.
