Albinism in Tanzania causes fierce health-related stigma. Little research has focused on the impact of stigma reduction strategies aiming to reduce albinism related stigma. Therefore, this research assessed the impact of two short video interventions among high school students in Tanzania on their attitude towards people with albinism: a contact intervention (n = 95) and an education intervention (n = 97). A mixed method design was used. Directly before and after the interventions impact was measured among all participants through the Albinism Social Distance Scale for Adolescents (ASDS-A), knowledge items, and entertainment items. After these measurements focus group discussions were conducted, 16 in total (n = 80). Both interventions caused a significant increase in the levels of correct knowledge about albinism. The education intervention entailed a significant positive change in attitude measured through the ASDS-A, whereas the contact intervention did not have a significant effect. In terms of entertainment value, the respondents were more enthusiastic about the contact intervention. The study suggests that education interventions on their own can be a successful tool in decreasing albinism related stigma. Additionally, qualitative findings show many positive outcomes for the contact intervention. Therefore, we would recommend using a combination of these two interventions, which has also proved successful in the past. However, more research on the effect of a combination of the two strategies is recommended.

接触与教育:坦桑尼亚高中考虑白化病相关污名的接触与教育策略的探索性比较

坦桑尼亚的白化病会导致与健康相关的严重污名。很少有研究集中在旨在减少白化病相关污名的污名减少策略的影响上。因此,这项研究评估了坦桑尼亚高中学生的两种短视频干预对他们对白化病患者态度的影响:接触干预(n = 95)和教育干预(n = 97)。使用了混合方法设计。干预前后直接通过“青少年白化病社会距离量表”(ASDS-A),知识项目和娱乐项目对所有参与者进行了影响评估。在进行这些测量之后,进行了焦点小组讨论,总共进行了16次(n = 80)。两种干预措施都使有关白化病的正确知识水平大大提高。教育干预需要通过ASDS-A衡量的态度发生显着的积极变化,而接触干预则没有显着影响。在娱乐价值方面,受访者更热衷于接触干预。研究表明,单独进行教育干预可以成为减少白化病相关污名的成功工具。此外,定性研究结果显示出接触干预的许多积极成果。因此,我们建议结合使用这两种干预措施,这在过去也被证明是成功的。但是,建议对这两种策略结合使用的效果进行更多的研究。在娱乐价值方面,受访者更热衷于接触干预。研究表明,单独进行教育干预可以成为减少白化病相关污名的成功工具。此外,定性研究结果显示出接触干预的许多积极成果。因此,我们建议结合使用这两种干预措施,这在过去也被证明是成功的。但是,建议对这两种策略结合使用的效果进行更多的研究。在娱乐价值方面,受访者更热衷于接触干预。研究表明,单独进行教育干预可以成为减少白化病相关污名的成功工具。此外,定性研究结果显示出接触干预的许多积极成果。因此,我们建议结合使用这两种干预措施,这在过去也被证明是成功的。但是,建议对这两种策略结合使用的效果进行更多的研究。因此,我们建议结合使用这两种干预措施,这在过去也被证明是成功的。但是,建议对这两种策略结合使用的效果进行更多的研究。因此,我们建议结合使用这两种干预措施,这在过去也被证明是成功的。但是,建议对这两种策略结合使用的效果进行更多的研究。
