INDIGO: International Study of Discrimination and Stigma Outcomes
INDIGO is a global collaboration of researchers committed to developing and sharing knowledge about reducing stigma and discrimination related to mental health conditions.
The INDIGO consortium has conducted many projects in the field of stigma and discrimination.
The INDIGO Network
(2016-2018) completed unfunded projects each across multiple sites within the overall co-ordinating framework of INDIGO.
The INDIGO Partnership
(2018-2024) was a multi-country, multi-site research programme funded by the UK Medical Research Council. It had two overall aims: 1) to carry out research to strengthen the understanding of mechanisms of stigma processes and reduce stigma against people with mental health conditions in low and middle income countries; and 2) to establish a strong collaborative research consortium through conducting this work. The programme was active in China, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, and Tunisia.
