افسردگی شخصی و درک شده استیگما در میان نوجوانان عرب: انجمن هایی با شدت افسردگی و خصوصیات شخصی

This is the first Arab study to isolate the influence of adolescent depression and personal characteristics on personal and perceived depression stigmas, and highlight the presence of these distinctions early in adolescence. Such distinction can inform the design and implementation of policies and interventions to reduce both personal and perceived stigma. The study provides important recommendations on when, how, and why to utilize school settings for anti-depression stigma interventions.
