Measuring Structural Stigma in Health-Care Settings from the Perspective of Service Users

This resource was published in 2021. The data may be out of date.  

This report is one component of a larger Mental Health Commission of Canada initiative examining structural stigma in health-care settings. It reviews measurement approaches that could be used to monitor the extent to which health-care settings offer caring cultures, person-centred care, or recoveryoriented care. These dimensions were identified as important to service users in an in-depth qualitative study of structural stigma.
