Young people are generally assumed to be less prejudiced toward people with schizophrenia than are adults. This article presents findings from a survey of 293 secondary school students in Germany, exploring their associations with the word schizophrenia and sources of information. Results indicate that the majority of young people appear either rather well informed or totally lacking information about schizophrenia. Findings are discussed in view of their implications for effective antistigma interventions and mental health education
