abstract: 'Introduction. - The INDIGO study (INternational study of Discrimination

  and stiGma Outcomes) aims at assessing the impact of schizophrenic

  disorders diagnosis on privacy, social and professional life, in terms

  of discrimination. In the general population, and even among health and

  social professionals, erroneous negative stereotypes (double

  personality, dangerosity) lead to high social distance. And this has an

  impact on various parts of daily life: employment, housing, compliance,

  self-esteem... About a tenth of the adult population suffers from mental

  disorders at any one time. These disorders now account for about 12\% of

  the global impact of disability, and this will rise to 15\% by the year

  2020. People living with schizophrenia, for example, experience reduced

  social participation, whilst public images of mental illness and social

  reactions add a dimension of suffering, which has been described as a

  ``second illness{''''}. Stigmatizing attitudes and discriminatory behavior

  among the general population against people with severe mental illness

  are common in all countries. Globally, little is known of effective

  interventions against stigma. It is clear that the negative effects of

  stigma can act as formidable barriers to active recovery.

  Methodology. - The INDIGO study intends to establish detailed

  international data on how stigma and discrimination affect the lives of

  people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The first aim of the INDIGO

  study is to conduct qualitative and quantitative interviews with 25

  people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia in each participating site, to

  elicit information on how the condition affects their everyday lives,

  with a focus upon sites in Europe. The second is to gather data for all

  participating countries on the laws, policies and regulations which set

  a clear distinction between people with a diagnosis of mental illness

  and others, to establish an international profile of such

  discrimination. A new scale (Discrimination and Stigma Scale {[}DISC]),

  used in a face-to-face setting was developed. Interviewers asked service

  users to comment on how far their mental disorder has affected key areas

  of their lives, including work, marriage and partnerships, housing,

  leisure, and religious activities. For country-level information, staff

  at each national site gathered the best available data on whether

  special legal, policy or administrative arrangements are made for people

  with a diagnosis of mental illness. These items included, for example,

  information on access to insurance, financial services, driving

  licenses, voting, jury service, or travel visas. The INDIGO study is

  conducted within the framework of the WPA global program to fight stigma

  and discrimination because of schizophrenia. French interviews occurred

  in two sites (Lille and Nice) on a sample of 25 patients.

  Results. - First, expressed disadvantages are high for several items

  (all relations, work and training, housing). In addition, we wish to

  highlight three specific points: almost half of the participants (46\%)

  suffer from not being respected because of contacts with services, 88\%

  of them felt rejected by people who know their diagnosis, and 76\%

  hide/conceal their diagnosis. Positive experienced discrimination was

  rare. Two thirds of participants anticipated discrimination for job

  seeking and close personal relationships, sometimes with no experienced

  discrimination.

  Conclusions. - This study, one of the rare in France adopting the point

  of view of a stigmatized group, revealed the numerous impacts of a

  diagnosis of schizophrenic disorders on everyday life. Comparisons

  between French and international results confirmed that the situation is

  not different in France, and even highlighted the extent of the

  stigmatization in the country. (C) L''Encephale, Paris, 2011.'
