Social Distance Towards Mental Illness Among Undergraduate Pharmacy Students in a Nigerian University.

CONCLUSION: Our pharmacy students had a low social distance towards people with mental illness. Predictors for the low social distance were younger age and previous visits to a mental hospital. We recommend more robust educational and training programme, and increased exposure to clinical clerkship in psychiatry to improve social distance towards people with mental illness among pharmacy students.
