The Dodo Bird effect describes a conundrum resulting from stigma change research that fails to distinguish superiority among discrete approaches. To address the issue, comparing and contrasting different perspectives of stigma change approaches can advance our understanding of stigma change and moves forward efforts to reduce stigma and discrimination. This presentation will focus on mental illness stigma and stigma change research.
