Exploring the use of art interventions in challenging stigmas related to neurological disorders: A scoping review
This review highlighted that art-based interventions effectively contributed to stigma reduction by addressing misinformation, challenging prejudices, and encouraging supportive actions but data from low resource settings were scarce. Interventions prioritising the direct interactions between a small number of the public and people with lived experience seemed particularly effective, however, the potential for theatre productions and digital media to target a larger audience should be considered.
