Download or read book Correlates of Mental Health Help Seeking Behavior Among African American College Students written by Crystal Lynn Barksdale and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sample consisted of 219 college students of African descent, with a greater number of females than males. ANCOVAs and multiple regression analyses were implemented to explore and understand the relationship between study variables. Females were found to have more positive attitudes toward seeking psychological help, and higher intentions to seek psychological help when necessary, compared to males. When considered separately, perceived negative peer norms and perceived negative family norms were found to predict help-seeking intentions, while perceived negative community norms did not. When the three levels of perceived negative norms were considered together, only perceived negative family norms was found to predict help-seeking intentions for psychological concerns. Results also showed that individuals with more positive attitudes toward seeking psychological help had higher intentions to seek professional help for psychological concerns, when necessary. The results of this study have implications for clinical intervention and research of mental health service usage among African American late adolescents and early adults. When trying to understand help-seeking intentions among African Americans, family norms are the most prominent factor to consider.
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Stigma and Mental Health written by David L. Vogel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 961 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The persistence of stigma of mental illness and seeking therapy perpetuates suffering and keeps people from getting the help they need and deserve. This volume, analysing the most up-to-date research on this process and ways to intervene, is designed to give those who are working to overcome stigma a strong, research-based foundation for their work. Chapters address stigma reduction efforts at the individual, community, and national levels, and discuss what works and what doesn't. Others explore how holding different stigmatized identities compounds the burden of stigma and suggest ways to attend to these differences. Throughout, there is a focus on the current state of the research knowledge in the field, its applications, and recommendations for future research. The Handbook provides a compelling case for the benefits reaped from current research and intervention, and shows why continued work is needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s we witnessed the birth of one of the most complex and perplexing social problems faced by modern society: the epidemic of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Originally published in 1993 this title looks at the social psychology surrounding HIV and AIDS. The organization of the volume centres upon two themes: The Theoretical Roots of Prevention and The Dilemma of the PWA (person with AIDS). The goal of this volume is not to evaluate previous attempts to answer these social problems, but to provide theoretical analyses of some of the basic sociopsychological processes that underlie the problems. Over 20 years on this is a snapshot of research into HIV and AIDS and attitudes of the time looking at social problems that are very much still with us.

Download or read book Causal Attributions Help seeking Attitudes and Cultural Mistrust on Intentions to Seek Counseling in Black American College Students written by Oluwaseyi Amosu and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have shown that racial and ethnic groups minorities utilize mental health services at a rate lower than their non-minority counterparts. This disparity still exists when matched for other demographic variables such as access, SES, and level of education (Alegría et al., 2002; Alvidrez, 1999). This study is aimed at determining how levels of cultural mistrust, causal attributions of mental illness, and beliefs about treatment efficacy affect attitudes toward help-seeking, specifically among Black American college students. Results from this study are two-fold and will provide information on correlates of attitudes toward mental-health help-seeking. In addition, understanding the reasons for the low rates at which Black populations seek services may provide insight into this phenomenon in other racial and ethnic minority groups. This study's ultimate goal is to supply outreach strategies and furnish training practices to better serve these populations.

Download or read book Clinical and Cultural Barriers to Psychological Help Seeking in African American College Students written by Samuel K. Schachner and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated clinical and cultural barriers to help seeking to identify which factor best predicted African American undergraduate student initial attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help (ATSPPH-short form). Predictor variables included anticipated utility, emotional openness, cultural mistrust, racial identity development, and stigma. Moderator variables controlled for prior counseling, gender and site. This study built upon prior research by evaluating clinical and cultural factors together and utilizing an information processing model to conceptualize data (Vogel et al., 2006). The focus on African American undergraduate students was based on retention problems for this population (American Council on Education, 2006) and underutilization of counseling by this population despite evidence of links between counseling & college persistence (Alford, 2000; Hamilton, 2006; Kearney, Draper & Barron, 2005; Trippi & Cheatham, 1991; & Wilson, Mason & Ewing, 1997). Sixty seven students from two Northeastern US colleges were surveyed. Direct correlation analysis found nine significant relationships with ATSPPH. Controlled for prior counseling use, anticipated benefit (r = .423, p=.001), Emotional Openness (r = .330, p=.010), and an Assimilationist Ideology of Racial Identity (r = .296, p=.022) were correlated with ATSPPH. Stepwise Multiple Regression found four significant predictors of attitudes, anticipated benefit (F=15.062, p

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book Stigma Self concealment and Mentoring Relationships Effect on Help seeking Attitudes of African American College Students written by Dana Michelle Bannerman and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that the African American community underuses professional mental health services and has generally more negative attitudes toward seeking help for mental health challenges than their European American counterparts. Stigma surrounding mental illness and the desire to keep challenges secret from others are two factors that have received much attention in the literature examining this phenomenon (Mishra, Lucksted, Gioia, Barnet, & Baquet, 2009; Thompson, Bazile, & Akbar, 2004; Larson & Chastain, 1990; Cramer, 1999). Further, social support has also been linked to help-seeking attitudes in the African American community, (Pickard, Inoue, Chadiha, & Johnson, 2011; Constantine, Wilton, & Caldwell, 2003). The current study assessed help-seeking attitudes, mental health stigma, self concealment, stigmatizing attitudes towards mental health and mentoring experience in 123 African American/Black college students. Mental health stigma, self-concealment, mentoring experience, and help-seeking attitudes demonstrated statistically significant bivariate correlations in expected directions. Further, a linear multiple regression analysis revealed stigma and self-concealment to be mediators in the relationship between mentoring and help-seeking attitudes. Finally, differences were discovered between mentoring type and mentoring experience. Students with both informal and formal mentors had the best mentoring experience in comparison to students with neither or informal mentor. Results from the current study further support the idea that mentoring relationships play a role in reducing stigma and self-concealment, which contribute to better help-seeking attitudes for African American college students. The importance of mentoring relationships to variables related to better well-being are discussed.
