National Stigma Survey About Mental Illness, Intellectual Disability and Homelessness in Spain

The primary aim of this research is to describe the stigma faced by people corresponding to three highly vulnerable population groups: people with mental health problems, homeless people and people with intellectual disabilities. From this general aim, four different specific goals are derived: 1) To delve into the experience of stigma of these groups, from first person; 2) To develop a quantitative assessment instrument that captures the current needs and experiences of people from these groups; 3) To describe and compare the social stigma of these three groups in a representative Spanish sample; 4) To address, from a gender perspective, possible differences in terms of the variables explored in the populations under study.
