Results
Sample comprised 142, 139 and 72 patients with
schizophrenia, depression and anxiety spectrum disorders respec-
tively, with a mean age of 39.2 years. Mean total PMH scores
among them were 4.2, 3.7 and 3.8 respectively which were signifi-
cantly lower than the general population mean of 4.5 (
P
< 0.001).
Patients of Chinese ethnicity, with lower education, depression
or anxiety, and lower GAF scores were more likely to have lower
PMH.
Conclusions
This study identified patient subgroups that are
likely to have poorer PMH. Interventions facilitating PMH among
these patient groups would be beneficial and are needed.

In recent decades, new medications have been developed that
entailed possibility of rehabilitation and socialization of mentally
ill persons.
Purpose
To consider a phenomenon of destigmatization of
mentally ill persons on the example of the analysis of screening-
questioning in mental health service.
Methods
Randomized screening-questioning of participants of
Open Doors Day in the clinics of Mental Health Research Institute
(Tomsk, Russia) in connection with World Mental Health Day in
October, 2015.
Results
One hundred and forty-six residents of Tomsk and inhab-
itants of the Tomsk Region as well as other cities visited Mental
Health Research Institute. 76,5% of them visited mental health ser-
vice for the first time. More than a half of visitors (51%) was the
most able-bodied age group– 20-50 years old; elderly people – 20%.
According to many-year observation of authors of the work, there
is a gradual destigmatization of people with mental health prob-
lems. Process of destigmatization will develop further, and mass
media should also be engaged in it. One more moment should be
emphasized – reduction of self-stigmatization. Though people do
not still aim to seek for psychiatric help at the appropriate insti-
tutions (they prefer to visit the psychiatrist of the catchment area
policlinic), they after all started recognizing presence of the prob-
lem, understanding the need of its overcoming, and possibility of
its correction.
Conclusion
The attitude of society towards people with mental
health problems and towards psychiatry reasonably changes, and
this promotes further development in the field of help to patients
and their relatives.

Introduction
We have developed a group of school-based univer-
sal prevention programs for children’s health and adjustment. The
programs are characterized by new theories such as the somatic-
marker hypothesis and enjoyable methods that utilize animated
stories and games. This study adopted one of the programs for the
development of self-confidence.
Objective
The aim was to examine the effectiveness of the pro-
gram. In addition to the direct purposes of the program, children’s
adjustments at school and homeroom class were evaluated as
extended effects.
Methods
Participants were third grade children in six public ele-
mentary schools in Japan. The final sample included 442 children
(219 boys and 223 girls). The programwas implementedweekly in
one regular 45-minute class over 8 weeks. Participants completed
a battery of three questionnaires three times, 1 month before the
start of the program (T1), 1 week before the start of the program
(T2), and during 1 week after the last class of the program (T3).
Results
Results showed that all of the main endpoints of the
program significantly improved in the intervention condition (i.e.,
changes from T2 to T3), compared to the control condition (i.e.,
changes from T1 to T2). Moreover, children’s adjustment at school
and homeroom class increased in the intervention condition,
compared to the control condition. However, implicit affect was
unchanged.
Conclusion
This study suggests that the program is effective for
enhancing self-confidence, along with adjustments at school and
in class. Future research that examines the sustainability of the
effectiveness of the program is planned.
