Background:
Poor awareness about mental health and illness is one of the causes for the large treatment gap for all mental disorders across India.
Material:
We used both qualitative and quantitative methods in devising a street play to enhance knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about mental illness.
Discussion:
The formative research enabled the intervention to remain culturally appropriate to the socio-cultural practices of the targeted rural audience.
Conclusion:
Targeted audiences need to be understood carefully for their beliefs and notions about mental health and sickness. Their socio-cultural practices need incorporation in street plays to make them relevant and meaningful.
