基于尼日利亚771名城乡受访者的社区调查，研究了教育水平与对精神疾病描述的认识及容忍度的关系，发现大量识字和非识字者无法将描述与精神疾病关联。
A community survey which involved 771 rural/urban respondents in Nigeria was undertaken in order to investigate the knowledge and opinion about descriptions which are prototypic of mentally ill persons. This report focuses on the relationship between levels of education and opinion as well as tolerance of the respondents for persons who might fit the descriptions. The findings indicate that substantial proportions among the literate and nonliterate are unable to associate the descriptions with mental illness.
