AB  - The aims of this study were to investigate experienced stigma and discrimination 
      and their associated factors in people with schizophrenia who live in the 
      community in Guangzhou, China. A total of 384 people with schizophrenia were 
      randomly recruited from four districts of Guangzhou and completed the scales and 
      questionnaires: Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness scale (ISMI), Self-Esteem 
      Scale (SES), Discrimination and Stigma Scale (DISC-12), Brief Psychiatric Rating 
      Scale (BPRS), PANSS negative scale (PANSS-N), Global Assessment of Functioning 
      (GAF) and Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS). Insight and medication 
      compliance were evaluated by psychiatrists. Data were analyzed by using 
      descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multivariable linear regression. 
      We found a significant positive correlation between BPRS score and PANSS-N score, 
      GAF score was significantly negative correlated with SQLS score, Insight score 
      was significantly negative correlated with medication compliance score, ISMI 
      score was significantly positive correlated with SES score and experienced 
      discrimination score. Multivariable linear regression found SQLS, SES and 
      experienced discrimination were the main independent variables of ISMI and 
      experienced discrimination was the most important factor of ISMI. Our findings 
      suggest that people with schizophrenia often experienced stigma and 
      discrimination in this Chinese population, and more anti-stigma interventions 
      should be provided.
