description: Denne undersøgelse er en del af et samlet forskningsprojekt udført af DSI (Dansk Sundhedsinstitut) og SFI (Det Nationale Forskningscenter for Velfærd). Det samlede forskningsprojekt undersøger stigmatisering af sindslidende. Stigma i forbindelse med psykiske lidelser defineres som noget, der opstår, når en sindslidende person tilskrives stereotype og negative egenskaber, og denne form for stigma udvikles i alle samfund. Undersøgelsen består dels af en kvalitativ del omkring sindslidendes oplevelse af stigmatisering og dels af en kvantitativ del omkring den generelle befolknings holdninger til sindslidende. Det nærværende datasæt knytter sig til den kvantitative del, som er foretaget af SFI.
      
      Den kvantitative del består af en befolkningsundersøgelse igennem telefoninterview og internetsurvey. Hensigten er at afdække den danske befolknings erfaringer med viden om og holdninger til mennesker med psykiske lidelser.
      
      Respondenterne er udtrukket i CPR-registeret for at sikre repræsentativitet. Til internetsurvey blev en stikprøve på 25565 udtrukket, hvoraf 2828 besvarede spørgeskemaet. Til telefoninterview blev en stikprøve på 3632 udtrukket, hvoraf 2016 besvarede spørgeskemaet.
description: This study is part of a larger research project carried out by DSI (The Danish Institute for Health Services Research) and SFI (The Danish National Centre for Social Research). The overall study examines the stigma of the mentally ill. This includes qualitative interviews with mentally ill persons regarding their experiences with stigmatisation and a quantitative survey concerned with the attitudes of the general public towards the mentally ill. The data in this study are based on the quantitative part of the study conducted by SFI.The stigma associated with mental illness is defined as the ascription of stereotypical or negative characteristics to mentally ill persons, which can occur in all communities.
      The aim of the quantitative survey is to establish how much the general public knows about mentally ill persons e.g. their experiences with and attitudes towards them. The survey was conducted over the telephone and on the internet.
      
      The respondents were drawn from the CPR-Office (The Central Office of Civil Registration) to ensure they were representative of the Danish population. A random sample comprised of 25565 persons was invited to participate in the internet survey; 2828 (11%) respondents answered the questionnaire. For the telephone survey a random sample of 3632 persons were invited to participate; 2016 (65%) answered the questionnaire.
description: Formålet med dette forskningsprojekt er at få indsigt i, hvordan stigmatiseringen udspiller sig og hvilke sociale processer, der skaber stigmatisering. En sådan indsigt vil gøre det muligt at vurdere, hvorledes det kan lade sig gøre at ændre disse processer. De samlede resultater af undersøgelsen skal således indgå i den fremtidige monitorering af omfanget af stigmatisering og i udviklingen af anti-stigmatiseringsindsatser.
description: The purpose of this research project is to gain insight into how stigmatising takes place and what social processes that create stigmata. Such insight will make it possible to assess how to achieve changes in these processes. The overall results of the study should be included in future monitoring of the extent of stigmata and in the development of anti-stigmata efforts.
