Public rejection of healthcare provision was lower among older and female respondents, respondents with high compared to low education, and those with experience of mental illness in their social environment. Rejection was also lower for vignette persons with mental rather than somatic illness, but significantly higher for incarcerated vignette persons and among respondents with personal experience of incarceration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings highlight the role of stigma-related processes in shaping attitudes toward healthcare provision, particularly for socially marginalized groups.
