Drawing on the fields of human rights and public health, this research explores the covert administration of medication: the concealment of medication in food or drink so that it will be consumed undetected. Adopting a rights-based approach, it explores multiple understandings of the impact of the practice on inpatients' rights-experiences. Relying on critical approaches, it also explores the practice's underlying socio-political-legal structures. The common themes of policies, protocols or guidelines that govern its practice in Ontario are identified. Focus groups and individual interviews were held with three groups of stakeholders (nurses, legal experts and psychiatrists), relying on fictional clinical scenarios. Few policies, protocols or guidelines govern the practice in Ontario's psychiatric settings. The practice impairs access to knowledge by patients and substitute decision-makers. It also precludes healthcare practitioners' access to information about side effects and underlying reasons for medication refusal. It may interfere with therapeutic relationships and patients' meaningful recovery as they transfer from hospital without knowledge of the fact of the covert medication. It may be characterized as autonomy restoring since patients may become capable of making treatment decisions after having received the medication surreptitiously. Covert medication reflects an inflexible approach to capacity determination; it is distinguishable from approaches that imagine capacity as able to be fostered with support. It is primarily concerned with the management of "risky" inpatients in the short-term. The practice relies on a faith that medication will be effective, deferring to medical decision-making. While covert medication is understood to have "something to do" with rights, there is confusion about how those rights play out on the ground. Institutional silences underlie and reinforce the practice. This research will support the development of effective, safe and appropriate approaches to treatment non-adherence that maximize patient dignity. Most pressing, this research concludes that the covert administration of medication warrants an overt discussion.

▼ Background: Immigrants have diverse pre-immigration, peri-immigration, and post-immigration experiences. Despite being exposed to distinct mental health stressors, little is known about immigrant groups' service use for non-psychotic mental health disorders in the host country.Objective: Three studies assessed mental health service use by recent newcomers who settled in Ontario, Canada compared to use by age-and-sex matched long term residents (Canadian-born individuals or pre-1985 immigrants). Each study focused on one factor associated with one of the three stages of immigration: pre-immigration (region of origin), peri-immigration (admission class), and post-immigration (area material deprivation).Methods: Population-based administrative data sources were linked to measure primary care visits, psychiatrist visits, and hospital use (i.e., emergency department visits or hospital admissions) for non-psychotic disorders by recent immigrants (i.e., within five years of arrival)in Ontario during 1993-2012. Results: Immigrants' service use patterns for non-psychotic mental health disorders differed from long term residents, with immigrants generally using less mental health care. In the pre-immigration study on world region of origin, immigrants from all regions used less psychiatry and hospital services than long term residents, while immigrants' use of primary care relative to long term residents varied by region of origin.In the peri-immigration study on admission class, male refugees were more likely to use primary care than long term residents. No admission class of immigrants had greater use of psychiatry or hospital care than comparators. In the post-immigration study on material deprivation, immigrants were over-represented in deprived areas. While residence in more deprived areas was associated with greater use of primary and hospital mental health care, immigrants exhibited smaller increases in use than long term residents.Discussion: Given rising immigration levels globally and Ontario, reviews of existing practices and policies are necessary to better understand immigrants' lower use of mental health service use and different patterns of use than long term residents.

▼ In Canada today, many families of youth with mental health and/or addiction concerns are struggling to access the care they need. The Family Navigation Project is a service affiliated with Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, Ontario, which aims to provide needs-based, family-centred system navigation to families of youth aged 13 to 26 with mental health and/or addiction concerns. The current study is a Realist Evaluation of the Family Navigation Project. The objectives of this study were a) to describe the population being served by the Family Navigation Project; b) to develop a conceptual framework for family navigation and a program theory for the Family Navigation Project; and c) to test the program theory, and refine it based on the results. This multi-phase, mixed methods study applied a Realist Evaluation framework and a cross-sectional methodological design in which both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through an online survey package in order to evaluate the sample characteristics; perception of navigation; the impact of perceived experience on family empowerment, family quality of life, and service satisfaction; and the influence of context. Data was collected from a convenience sample of 134 families seeking care on behalf of youth, who were registered with the Family Navigation Project at the time of the study. Descriptive, inferential and qualitative analyses were performed. Results indicated that the Family Navigation Project reached its target population in this sample; that families in this sample were highly satisfied with the services they received; that most families in this sample perceived care to be accessible, continuous, and family-inclusive; that this perceived experience significantly influenced family empowerment, family quality of life, and service satisfaction; and that both individual and systemic-level contexts influence experience and outcomes to varying extents. The conceptual framework and program theory were subsequently refined. Applications, contributions and limitations are noted.

The objective of this study was to generate a deeper understanding of the influence of pre- and post-migration traumatic experiences on refugees’ psychological distress, including historical, political and social factors. This dissertation used a multi-method design to examine the impact of trauma on the psychological well-being of refugees. Further, the design included a qualitative component to provide a contextual framework for understanding refugee psychological distress that is not limited to an analysis of a disease model alone but by also making connections to important historical, social and political events. Post-Colonial, Refugee, Trauma and Feminist theories are used as analytic lenses to explain the social structures and events contributing to refugees’ pre- and post-migration traumatic events, and psychological distress. This was an international study that spanned two continents. Sampling included 50 Sri Lankan Tamil refugee participants who lived in Chennai, India and 50 Sri Lankan refugees in Toronto, Canada. Inclusion criteria included a residency period of the last 12 months in either of the sampling sites, and participants 18 years of age or older. Participants from Toronto were recruited through social service agencies and associations, and participants from Chennai were recruited from refugee camps, and the Organization for Elam Refugee Rehabilitation. Tamil versions of the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire, the Post-Migration Living Difficulties Questionnaire, and the Symptoms Check List – 90R were utilized to measure participants’ pre- and post-migration traumatic events and psychological distress. The Harvard Trauma Questionnaire contained qualitative open-ended questions to triangulate the quantitative data in identifying and exploring the impact of contextual influences. Results showed that post-migration traumatic event scores positively predicted psychological distress, and refugee claimants living in Canada had the highest scores on pre-migration and post-migration scores. The qualitative analysis revealed themes related to civil war and resettlement as significant issues. Implications of these findings support the development of a multi-level approach within social work practice which emphasizes contextual issues, focuses on individuals, and promotes social advocacy. Recommendations for future research point to conducting longitudinal studies to assess the cumulative effects of historical, social and political factors on refugees and identify resiliencies that mobilize their capacity to survive.

▼ Decades of research has established an inverse association between socioeconomic position and psychological distress. Within medical sociology, the stress process model represents a dominant framework for investigating mechanisms that generate emotional inequality. Central to the stress process perspective is the observation that exposure to social stress is fundamentally rooted in social statuses and the social roles individuals occupy in their daily lives. Historically, research guided by the stress process paradigm has demonstrated that disparities in psychological distress arise to a substantial degree from inequalities in stress exposure—individuals placed lower in the socioeconomic hierarchy, for instance, are exposed to higher levels of cumulative and operant life stress, and this translates into mental health disadvantages. This dissertation moves beyond existing research by identifying circumstances under which socioeconomic patterns in mental health do not conform to what is commonly predicted by traditional hypotheses, and also provides theoretical insights and empirical evidence about the dynamics that generate pockets of complexity in social stress research. Three major findings emerge. First, I present evidence that time-stable differences between individuals introduce a nontrivial amount of spuriousness in the association between income-related variables and mental health. This raises questions about the independent effect of current income dynamics over and above, for example, the array of disadvantages that individuals may face at more distal stages in the life course. Second, I demonstrate the ways that SES modifies the concurrent experience of job stressors and resources. My findings highlight conditions under which lower status workers are shielded from the effects of stressors, but also the ways that resources may actually leave higher status individuals more vulnerable to the effects of stress exposure. Third, I identify a subgroup of professionals for which a status-health paradox is observed—higher status workers experience poorer mental health relative to their lower status peers—and this can be explained by the stressors of higher status in this particular profession. Each study can be considered an independent project, but taken together they represent an overarching contribution to sociological understandings of the interplay between SES, stress exposure, and mental health.

▼ Reductions in drive and goal-directed behaviour have long been described as key features of schizophrenia. This thesis contains several investigations into the motivational deficits present in people with schizophrenia. Despite not being required for the diagnosis, motivational deficits were found to be a highly prevalent feature of the disease, even among younger patients who were relatively early in their course of illness. Using cross-sectional and longitudinal follow-up study designs, and across two studies with different participants, motivational deficits were found to hold strong predictive value for the determination of functional outcomes. After establishing the importance of motivational deficits in terms of outcomes, underlying behavioural mechanisms were explored using experimental paradigms. Several candidate reward processes were examined concurrently, including valuation of outcomes, estimation of the costs associated with obtaining outcomes, and learning the association between actions and outcomes. Our results provide support for the proposal that individuals with schizophrenia have impairments in their ability to compute effort demands, and that these impairments translate into real-world reductions in goal-directed behaviour. Beyond mechanisms, this thesis also examined the inter-relationship between motivational deficits and another key domain of psychopathology in schizophrenia, namely, cognition. Although these two domains are thought of as distinct, two studies included in this thesis provide empirical evidence of an association, which is interpreted within a theoretical framework whereby poor motivation translates into reduced effort put forth during cognitive testing, which ultimately results in poorer submaximal test performance. Finally, the last study included in this thesis addresses the issue of treatment-induced symptoms. This study failed to find support for the contention that treatment with antipsychotic medications necessarily worsens the severity of motivational deficits in schizophrenia. Taken together, these investigations highlight the importance of motivational deficits in schizophrenia, and lay the foundation for a mechanistic understanding of these impairments.
