*Dependent variable: 1 = stigma-decreased, 0 = stigma-increased. The two groups were defined by subtracting the total post-test score on Link’s Devaluation-Discrimination Scale from the total pre-test score on Link’s Devaluation- Discrimination Scale. The significant variables were selected using forward stepwise regression. Pre-evaluation measures include basic knowledge, pre-program Link’s Devaluation-Discrimination Scale score, ability to identify and distinguish schizophrenia from other conditions, and social distance.
