▼ Background: Previous research has shown that there is an association between prior contact with a person with emotional or mental health problems and an expectation of negative public attitudes toward people with a mental illness. Expectation of negative public attitudes is an extra burden that is associated with mental illnesses.
Objectives: 1) Describe Canadians’ expectations of negative attitudes toward people with depression. 2) Examine the association between intimacy of prior contact with a person with emotional or mental health problems and the expectation of negative public attitudes towards those with depression.
Methods: Data from the rapid response portion of the 2010 Canadian Community Health Survey were used. There were 10,389 respondents. Exposure was divided into any prior contact and no prior contact and for further analyses any contact was sub-divided into most intimate contact (self, family member, friend, co-worker) or total number of types of contact (0, 1, 2, 3/4). Outcome was determined using a reduced version of Link’s Devaluation-Discrimination Measure. A stigma score was determined and the respondent was categorized into one of three groups based on score (low, moderate, or high expectations of negative public attitudes). Stratified analyses and ordinal regression were used to determine if Canadians were less likely to hold negative attitudes if they had prior personal contact with someone who had a mental illness and if negative attitudes were inversely associated with intimacy of contact.
Results: There was only one statistically significant result. Compared to those who had personally experienced a mental illness, those who identified knowing a co-worker with a mental illness had higher odds of expecting negative public attitudes (OR= 10.61, 95% CI: 1.41, 79.70), however, this may have been a spurious association owing to the large number of comparisons made.
Conclusion: In this study, with one possible exception, previous prior contact with a person with emotional or mental health problems was not associated with expectation of negative public attitudes toward people with depression.

▼ The purposes of this study were to investigate the impact of a biologically-based anti-stigma message on affect and stigma and to explore whether individual differences variables were predictive of different reactions to the message. Additional goals were to explore the reactions of those with greater depression familiarity and various causal beliefs, and to examine the impact of personality and the message on the willingness to seek treatment. 182 undergraduates completed personality measures and stigma measures before viewing a message, and affect and stigma measures again afterward. Participants either saw the message “depression is a brain disease” or a control message. Stigma levels were compared from before and after and across conditions, and affect was compared across conditions. Changes were not observed in stigma measures as a result of the experimental manipulation. The experimental message was emotionally activating, leading to higher levels of both negative and positive affect relative to the control message, and participants reported having very negative opinions of it. Individual differences variables were unrelated to changes affect and stigma, with one exception. Individuals who were high in affiliation were less willing to seek treatment after viewing the experimental message. Personal experience of depression and prior causal beliefs about depression did not interact with the different messages to predict negative affective responses. Implications for campaigns to reduce mental health stigma and possible directions for future research are discussed.

(more)
▼ Rates of obesity have increased significantly over the last thirty years in both adults and children, as have rates of associated chronic diseases such as type II diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. As scholarly and political attention turns to addressing the prevalence of obesity and associated diseases, it also turns to examining ethical issues, especially when seeking to justify different policies. Recent research has yielded much discussion of certain ethical issues such as responsibility, autonomy, paternalism, harm, and more specifically, the problem of weight
stigma. An ethical issue not previously discussed is the government’s very identification of obesity as a
public health concern. The governments of Western democratic countries such as Australia and the United States of America continually identify obesity as a
public health concern in press releases and policies. In this thesis, I argue that this identification constitutes an action that itself requires ethical justification. I propose several criteria that ought to be met to provide ethical justification whenever the government identifies a
public health concern, and I focus on obesity as a case study. I conclude that the government was not ethically justified in identifying obesity as a
public health problem. This is largely because evidence suggests that there is very little that can be done to effectively reduce obesity rates, and because of the creation and perpetuation of harm that resulted from this identification, particularly relating to weight
stigma. Obesity is deeply stigmatised and, as noted by many authors, weight
stigma has the capacity to negatively impact physical and mental health, to perpetuate obesity, and to worsen social harms (e.g. increasing social isolation and discrimination). In turn, this negatively affects areas of a person’s life such as self-esteem, academic achievement, employment opportunities, income, and health. Given this, it is of great importance that the stigmatisation of obesity and weight be considered seriously. Within the academic literature that theorises about weight
stigma and studies its impact, there are a range of approaches regarding how weight
stigma ought to be dealt with. Although there is a growing voice in the literature calling for interventions to reduce weight
stigma, the few reported interventions have been largely unsuccessful. In this thesis, I develop a spectrum to categorise these approaches, identifying and discussing nuanced variances between each position along the spectrum. I demonstrate that weight
stigma ought to be combatted directly, and provide suggestions for weight
stigma-reducing interventions. Finally, I develop a matrix that may be useful in targeting the mechanisms by which weight
stigma is understood to operate.

Examining the impact of perceived and internalized hiv stigmas on HIV-related civic engagement.

▼ As the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to impact the American South, funding, services, and outreach for those affected by the disease is at a premium. Effective advocacy is critical not only to support people living with HIV/AIDS but also to prevent infections. Those living with HIV/AIDS provide powerful advocacy, unmatched by others. However, HIV
stigma, which impacts various aspects of the lives of those living with HIV, can also have a negative impact on the willingness of this population to advocate on issues related to HIV. Those who benefit from this funding and services are often clients of AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) and, in addition to
stigma, these individuals face issues of race, poverty, rural-ness, and the like. Literature has often treated
stigma as a singular element, not differentiating between the unique manifestations of perceived and internalized HIV stigmas. For this study, it was hypothesized that both perceived and internalized stigmas would negatively impact HIV-related civic engagement, and that the impact of internalized
stigma would be stronger than that of perceived. Further, it was predicted that self-efficacy, along with various demographic variables, would moderate these relationships. Clients of 9 ASOs in Alabama were surveyed. Findings revealed no relationship between perceived
stigma and civic engagement, however, a significant negative relationship was evident between internalized
stigma and civic engagement. Among the moderators, levels of employment and income provided significant effects. Findings indicate that ASOs could possibly increase HIV-related civic engagement among clients by providing programs designed to reduce internalized
stigma and by offering opportunities to engage that are not hindered by factors relating to lacking income or employment. (Published By University of Alabama Libraries)

▼ The current study sought to better understand how adolescents with serious mental health problems participating in inpatient psychiatric treatment experience self- and perceived public stigma, using demographic and clinical factors to help further explain adolescents' experience of self- and perceived public stigma. Participants reported moderate levels of both self- and perceived public stigma, though these adolescents did not report significantly higher levels of self- or perceived public stigma than community/outpatient based samples. Although neither the three demographic nor three clinical factors were able to account for a significant amount of reported self- or perceived public stigma, the current research examined an understudied, acute population not previously found in the literature. This study begins to fill the gap in research about stigma experiences from the most acute populations.

From attitude to intent to action: Predictors of psychological help-seeking behavior among clinically distressed adults.

▼ Although many people suffer from mental health concerns, a large proportion of these people do not seek psychological help (Alonso et al., 2009; Clement et al., 2015; Kessler et al., 2003; Thornicroft, 2007; Vogel, Wester & Larson, 2006). Research indicates that public and self-stigma, attitudes toward counseling, and intentions to seek counseling are all important factors in the help-seeking process (Bayer & Peay, 1997; Cooper et al., 2003; Corrigan, 2004; Komiya et al., 2000; Link et al., 2014; Mojtabai, Olfson, & Mechanic, 2002; Sirey et al., 2001; Vogel et al., 2005; Vogel, Wade, & Haake, 2006; Vogel, Wade, & Hackler, 2007). However, one glaring omission exists in the vast majority of this research: very few studies measure actual help-seeking behavior. In addition, most of this research has been conducted with college students, most of whom did not have a current mental health concern. In the present study, I explored psychological help-seeking behavior in a clinically distressed sample of adults. In particular, I explored whether public stigma of help-seeking, self-stigma of help-seeking, and attitudes towards receiving professional psychological help predicted intentions to seek help in a sample of clinically distressed adults. Additionally, I examined these relationships with actual help-seeking behavior. For this study a total of N =125 clinically distressed adults completed two surveys two weeks apart. Results of the hierarchical regression predicting attitudes suggested that self-stigma predicted attitudes above and beyond the other variables entered into the model. Results of the hierarchical regression predicting hypothetical intentions revealed that encouragement and pressure to seek help by friends and family and attitudes toward counseling are more predictive than self-stigma when all variables were entered into the model. Results of a third hierarchical regression predicting actual intentions revealed similar patterns; self-stigma was related to actual intentions but not in the final model, in which ethnicity, social encouragement, and attitudes predicted actual intentions above and beyond the other variables entered into the model. Results of a logistic regression predicting actual behavior (i.e., scheduling or attending an appointment with a mental health professional) suggest that minority ethnicity, greater public stigma, and greater hypothetical intentions predicts actual help-seeking behavior. Results are discussed based on previous research, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). Limitations, implications, and future recommendations are discussed.

▼ The present study looked at mental health
stigma in youth. Mental health
stigma is devaluing, disgracing and disfavoring individuals with mental illness. Participants aged 11-14 completed a measure to rate their stigmatizing beliefs toward peers with either ADHD, depression, or asthma. Their ratings were compared for significance between genders and for the three different conditions: ADHD, depression, and asthma. Significant differences were found between the
stigma ratings for asthma, depression and ADHD. ADHD had significantly higher
stigma ratings than asthma, and depression had significantly higher
stigma ratings than ADHD (on some, but not all, areas rated) and had consistently higher ratings than asthma. Only one factor showed a significant effect for gender, and on all other factors there were no significant difference in
stigma ratings between male and female respondents. It is hoped that the current study will aid in the general understanding of mental health
stigma among youth, as well as lead to additional research on mental health
stigma.

▼ Since the attacks on September 11, 2001, Muslims in the United States and United Kingdom have been the targets of Islamophobia: unwavering scrutiny, discrimination, and being made to feel like “others.” I use mixed methods of literature review, qualitative interviews, and quantitative analysis to argue that this Islamophobia affects the health of Muslims. I draw primarily from the concepts of orientalism and biological citizenship to link history with contemporary Islamophobia. My main qualitative findings include that there are highly significant studies linking Islamophobia and perceived discrimination with objective health outcomes and that there are three main levels that contribute to the overall perceived discrimination of Muslims. These three levels are interpersonal, community, and societal-level discrimination. Through quantitative analysis, I show that with confounding variables aside, Muslims experience more discrimination than similar non-Muslims, which leads to adverse mental and self-reported health outcomes, decreased happiness, and decreased feeling at home in America. By framing Islamophobia as a
public health issue, I argue that its condemnation is essential to improving population health.

The current study investigated implicit and explicit bias toward mental illness compared to physical illness among PCPs and students and how this may affect clinical decision making and identification of suicidal ideation in patients. The participants completed an online survey which assessed implicit
stigma, explicit
stigma, and clinical decision making in regard to a vignette that depicted a suicidal patient that presented with both physical and mental illness symptoms. The implicit and explicit
stigma tasks were not significantly correlated, indicating that self-reported level of mental illness
stigma is not a reliable picture of actual bias. A Discriminant Function Analysis revealed the implicit
stigma task (IAT) was the best predictor of clinical decision-making in regard to what the participants would further assess for in the patient vignette. Participants with higher levels of implicit mental illness bias were less likely to assess for any mental illness issue in the patient vignette. A Binary Logistic Regression revealed the best predictor for making appropriate recommendations was what the participant chose to assess for in the patient vignette. The study findings are consistent with previous literature that identified implicit
stigma as a better predictor of decision making than explicit
stigma. Level of implicit mental illness
stigma may be one of the many explanations for PCPs missing suicidal ideation in patients. PCPs and students should be encouraged to investigate their level of implicit mental illness
stigma and educated on how this may impact their clinical decision making with at risk patients.

▼ This thesis presents a thorough investigation of the network of resources available to people experiencing homelessness in Fort Collins, Colorado. It also explores the
stigma faced by the homeless community, and the ways in which
stigma affects services,
public policy, and the everyday lived experiences of homeless people. By exploring the various programs provided by government, non-profit, and private organizations and institutions, I aim to create a conceptual map of the sources of support available to the homeless population of Fort Collins. In doing so, I analyze both the strengths and weaknesses of the existing service network, and explore the ramifications of systemic gaps on the lives of homeless people. Using data gathered through participant observation in various resource-providing organizations, as well as via interviews with non-profit executives, city administrators, homeless advocates, faith community leaders, business community representatives, and people experiencing homelessness, I attempt to present an emic, or insider, view of the complex issues surrounding homelessness in Fort Collins. The results of this research provide actionable information that may be used to shape
public policy or other programming decisions for the local community. Both housed and unhoused residents in Fort Collins can benefit from an understanding of how the network of support services functions, how
stigma affects the
public's view of homeless people, and how
stigma and services interact. In Chapter 2, I first outline national-level data surrounding the occurrence and causes of homelessness. Next, I explore the formation of
stigma, and the process of symbolic boundary-making that defines our everyday perception of the world. I then provide an overview of the ways in which governance reconfigures conceptualizations of
public space, with related ramifications for homeless people existing in the
public sphere. Finally, I explore existing data about homelessness in Fort Collins, and chronicle the city's recent history of homeless-related governance. Chapter 3 describes the data collection and data analysis methodologies used to generate my findings. I outline the timeline for this research, provide descriptions of my interview groups and participant observation activities, and explain the social networking process used to generate the included service network map. I also explain the transformational research framework I use to situate this work. Using a critical political economy lens, Chapter 4 explains my major research findings. First, I present the results of my network mapping process. Next, I provide an overview of the strengths in the city's existing social service network. Then, I explore the stigmatization of homeless people in Fort Collins, and the negative stereotypes held by actors in both the general
public and in significant positions of power. Finally, I detail the weaknesses in the city's current attempts to deal with homelessness – including a lack of affordable housing, a failure to provide for some basic…

Measure of Intention to Provide Patient-centered Care to People Experiencing Opioid Addiction and Overdose Among EMS Providers in the State of Maine.

▼ The current opioid epidemic is devastating our communities. The American Medical Association’s Task Force on opioid addiction has identified stigma as a primary target of intervention for mitigating this epidemic. Stigma is a mark of disgrace or being objectionable. Experiences of stigma and resulting shame serve only to fuel health inequities experienced by people with opioid addiction. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) have an important role to play in mitigating this epidemic as entry-level providers in the healthcare system. The quality of that patient-provider encounter had the potential to shift intrinsic motivation to seek and maintain addiction treatment. Patient-centered care is identified as supporting therapeutic communication and is well-suited for rural EMS operations in Maine. The purpose of this research was to examine predictors of intention to provide patient-centered care to people experiencing opioid addiction and overdose (OAO) among EMS providers in the state of Maine.
A cross-sectional online survey of currently licensed EMS providers offered a direct measure of intention to give patient-centered care to people experiencing OAO. Multiple regression analysis identified four predictor variables for intention: job satisfaction, exploring patient perspective, sharing information and power, and dealing with communicative challenges. The fitted model resulted in a significant R2 = .529, (F (4, 734) = 226.381, p < .001) exceeding the critical F statistic
(F (4,739) = 2.384, p = .05), thus confirming the predictive value of the coefficients. Results suggested that EMS providers at all license levels will benefit from interventions that expand their knowledge of the medical definition of addiction and patient-centered care. EMS providers will also benefit from adopting approaches that support exploring the patient perspective and sharing information and power such as Motivational Interviewing and human performance strategies to develop awareness of socially conditioned biases that moderate provider attitudes. These evidence-based interventions could elevate the standard of care provided by EMS and reduce experiences of stigma in the patient-provider encounter. Reductions in stigma increase self-worth and prime motivation to seek and maintain treatment, thereby closing the treatment gap that exists for those experiencing opioid addiction in the state of Maine.

▼ Aim: The purpose of this study is to identify and describe health care provider explanatory models, beliefs, attitudes, and practices regarding depression and suicidality in Sofala Province, Mozambique. Background: There is currently limited knowledge about the prevalence of mental health conditions in Mozambique, particularly regarding more common mental disorders such as depression. Mozambique was recently listed as having the 7th highest suicide rate in the world. A lack of data and available treatment for common mental disorders contributes to cycles of poor mental health and poor physical health, while impeding efforts to improve access and availability of culturally appropriate mental health care in Mozambique. There is minimal qualitative research regarding
stigma related to mental health in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: We targeted health care providers to serve as key informants based on their respective mental health care knowledge. An in-depth interview (IDI) guide was used in conducting 25 semi-structured interviews of clinical providers knowledgeable on mental health in the community, and providers working in units with both high patient contact and high potential for depression and/or suicidal ideation. Findings: Analysis revealed that most providers perceive a high prevalence of depression and suicide, with both of these issues cited as a mental health concern that should be treated. Providers indicated that patients had a limited knowledge of mental health services, and expressed a desire for increased training themselves. Isolation, familial and relationship conflict, and HIV diagnosis were common causes for depression and poor mental health, and many providers suggested a need for incorporating community and families in treatment. Conclusion: There is a need to address
stigma reduction by means of community education around mental health care, and health care provider knowledge of and comfort addressing depression and suicidality. Linkages should be strengthened between HIV care and mental health care.

▼ Background In the United States HIV incidence among young men who have sex with men (MSM) is increasing. Young Latino MSM are disproportionately affected by HIV infection and delayed diagnosis. HIV-related and homosexual-related
stigma have been proposed as possible barriers to HIV testing. Methods This study reports on baseline data from a longitudinal cohort of 50 young Latino immigrant MSM (ages 18-30 years) living in Seattle, Washington. The men were recruited using respondent driven sampling and interviewed using audio computer-assisted self-interviews. The interviews assessed sociodemographic characteristics, sexual risk factors,
stigma (internalized HIV-related
stigma, anticipated HIV-related
stigma, and internalized homosexual
stigma), HIV testing history, and intentions to test for HIV in the next three months. Bivariate and multivariate analyses focused on the relations between sociodemographic characteristics,
stigma, and past HIV testing; similar analyses were conducted for intentions to test for HIV in the next three months. Results Eighty-two percent of our sample had undergone HIV testing in their lifetime, but only 60% intended to test for HIV in the next three months. Among all three types of
stigma, anticipated HIV-related
stigma had the highest average score. In the bivariate logistic regression analysis, having more education, having a current male sexual partner, and self-identifying as homosexual or bisexual/other were significantly associated with increased odds of ever having tested for HIV. In addition, in the bivariate analysis, participants currently married or in a formal or informal partnership or living with someone were less likely to intend to test for HIV in the next three months when compared with single or previously married individuals. In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, only higher level of education and self-identifying as homosexual or bisexual/other were significantly associated with increased odds of having ever tested for HIV. None of the three types of
stigma were significantly associated with past testing or with intent to test for HIV in the next three months. Conclusions The findings suggest that Latino MSM most in need of outreach may be less-educated men who do not identify as homosexual or bisexual. Further evaluation of the association between the different types of
stigma and HIV testing are warranted for this cohort of men, using the longitudinal data.

▼ In Haiti, roughly 54% of men who are HIV positive do not know their status, and heterosexual intercourse remains the predominant mode of HIV transmission. Knowledge of the sociocultural factors that influence men’s willingness to get tested for HIV remains incomplete. Using the socioecological model as a guide, this study explored the factors influencing the promotion, desirability, and accessibility of HIV testing among men in Haiti. Nine focus group discussions with 87 participants were used to determine the facilitators, inhibitors and accepted methods for promoting HIV testing for heterosexual men. The results revealed that
stigma from the community, self-image, the spousal relationship, and delayed care seeking in the Haitian context contribute to detection and linkage to care. Results also reveal that Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC) may be the most acceptable method of referral for men in this context. Future interventions should work to address these factors and delve further into CHTC.

▼ Background: Despite advances in the care and treatment of people living with HIV infection, HIV-related
stigma remains a challenge to HIV testing, care, and prevention. HIV disproportionately affects Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) and previous work has cited
stigma as a barrier to HIV prevention practices in this population. Because
stigma promotes negative attitudes that interfere with
public health responses to HIV disparities,
stigma is a formidable
public health challenge. Our study compared the prevalence of perceptions of community
stigma towards people living with HIV (PLWH) and experiences of HIV-related discrimination between white and Latino MSM. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the CDC’s National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) survey from the Seattle area. Participants (n=633) were selected from two of the MSM centered NHBS cycles (2014 and 2017). Results: After adjustment, race/ethnicity was not significantly associated with any of the HIV-related discrimination items overall or in any of the cycles, although 8% of MSM in our study reported being physically attacked or injured and 44% of our overall sample reported any discrimination. For each item related to perceived
stigma towards PLWH, Latino MSM reported higher frequencies of perceived
stigma compared to white MSM. After adjustment, Latino MSM were more likely to report perceived
stigma towards a PLWH in the form of discrimination overall (aIRR=1.44, 95% CI, 1.05-1.96) and in the 2017 cycle (aIRR=1.78, 95% CI, 1.13-2.80), perceived
stigma in the form of not supporting the rights of a PLWH but only in the 2017 cycle (aIRR=2.39, 95% CI, 0.99-5.79), perceived
stigma in the form of not being friends with a PLWH but only in the 2014 cycle (aIRR= 2.04, 95% CI, 1.00-4.17). Conclusion: Latino MSM in Seattle were more likely to report perceived
stigma toward PLWH compared to white MSM and reports of HIV-related discrimination were common among both white and Latino MSM. Both white and Latino MSM in Seattle may face the consequences of HIV-related
stigma in discrimination including physical injury. Local
public health practitioners and community organizations should develop targeted anti-
stigma interventions that facilitate understanding of root causes of
stigma while incorporating cultural and social context.

▼ Two Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) outbreaks occurred almost simultaneously in the United States (US) (2014-2015) and in Cambodia (2015). Information is lacking on HIV-related knowledge, stigmatizing attitudes, and high-risk behaviors (KAB) among the general population, which may affect the transmission of HIV and lead to outbreaks. The current study aimed to: 1) assess KAB among the general population in a high-risk county in the US, 2) analyze KAB among the general population of Cambodia, and 3) compare KAB across samples from a high-risk county in Northeast Tennessee and a province in Cambodia. Tennessee data were collected in 2017 and Cambodian Demographic and Health Survey data were from 2014. Descriptive, Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon, Bonferroni, and Spearman’s correlation as well as simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted on individual questions and KAB variables. Among Northeast Tennessee participants, 92.6% had heard of HIV, 43.5% knew that HIV could not be transmitted by mosquitos, and 67.8% of participants had never tested for HIV. Cambodian females aged 20-29, 30-39, and ≥40 were more likely to have a high level of HIV knowledge than those aged 15-19 (Odds Ratio (OR): 1.4, 1.6, and 1.6, respectively). Cambodian males who completed secondary and higher education had significantly higher odds of having a high level of HIV knowledge (OR: 2.3 and 2.9, respectively) and lower odds of engaging in some high-risk behaviors (OR: 0.3 and 0.2, respectively) than those who had completed no level of education. Battambang participants were more likely to have a high level of HIV knowledge (OR: 4.44; 95% CI: 2.14-9.24) and less likely to have at least one stigmatizing attitude (OR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.24-0.94) and one high-risk behavior (OR: 0.16; 95% CI: 0.08-0.33) compared to Northeast Tennessee participants. Future studies are needed to determine associations between results and policies/laws, frequency of personal contact, and other differences between the two locations. KAB can greatly impact the outcome of HIV prevalence within a community. Having a greater understanding of KAB and creating interventions based on that understanding can have a positive influence on HIV infection and related outcomes.

▼ In August of 2017, James Madison University installed free tampon and pad dispensers in major restrooms across its campus. This development was the result of the campaign Free the Tampon which used the themes of menstrual equity,
public writing, and feminist rhetoric to achieve its outcome. Using writing and rhetoric, the campaign successfully engaged with 2000 students in passing a petition and in reaching out to key JMU decision makers. This project designs the origin, implementation, and effects of Free the Tampon on JMU’s campus and the ways in which concepts of menstrual equity informed the campaign.

▼ The purpose of this study was to assess the American
lay
public's willingness to affiliate with and their perceptions of
the definition, etiology, and treatment of either one of two
specific types of behavioral addiction (i.e., pornography or
gambling) or one of three types of substance addiction (i.e.,
alcohol, marijuana, or heroin). Using the Amazon Mechanical Turk
online
subject pool, I recruited 612 participants who were randomly
assigned to one of five experimental conditions listed above. Most
participants were young (M=34.3, SD = 11.2), white (79%), college
educated (72%), employed (70%), and had never married (57%).
Participants were generally unwilling to affiliate with an
individual with any of these five types of addiction. In addition,
participants rated heroin as the most addictive, yet rated all five
addictions as consisting of both Compulsive and Appetitive
elements. Also, participants agreed that both psychosocial and
biomedical factors were causes of each addiction, and generally
rated treatment as beneficial for each of the five addictions.
Results suggest that lay attitudes regarding etiology and treatment
are consistent with many professionals'; opinion that all
addictions are multi-determined and that all addictions are
treatable.

▼ The HIV care continuum captures the proportion of people who engage in various steps of the treatment cascade from the time of HIV diagnosis to the achievement of viral load suppression. Viral load suppression is the ultimate goal of HIV treatment as it is the best way to mitigate the spread of HIV and contain the epidemic. The best pathway to viral load suppression is not always clear. There are several factors that aid or hinder HIV patients from engaging in every step of the care continuum until they achieve and sustain viral load suppression. This dissertation aims to measure the underlying enablers of engagement in HIV care, relate them to potential barriers, and assess the effect of each enabler and barrier on future engagement in care and viral load suppression using data collected from people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Eswatini. Firstly, a systematic review was conducted to summarize the methodologies used to measure and analyze barriers and enablers of engagement in HIV care. A search of all peer-reviewed articles published in English globally since 1996 yielded a final selection of 228 articles. The vast majority of the studies were qualitative and descriptive, and there was a scarcity of quantitative studies utilizing predictive methods that can measure the effect of a barrier or enabler on future engagement in care.
Secondly, an empirical analysis was conducted to assess the dimensionality (factor structure) of enablers of engagement in care using a sample largely representative of HIV patients in care in Eswatini. This analysis demonstrated the use of psychometric techniques that can capture underlying latent enablers. These techniques are useful for standardizing the measurements of enablers across studies and programs and can be used to predict future engagement in care. This analysis found financial and access enablers to be the most prominent underlying factors supporting engagement in care in Eswatini, suggesting that these should be an important consideration when designing interventions to retain HIV patients in care in resource-limited settings similar to Eswatini.
Thirdly, in an additional empirical analysis, the latent enablers previously identified were used to select potential barriers and assess their effect on linkage to care, retention in care, and viral load suppression. The analysis also involved an assessment of the mediational pathway from the potential barriers to care to viral load suppression that goes through retention in care. Only perceived HIV stigma was related to any step of the care continuum, with low perceived stigma being marginally associated with less viral load suppression. Retention in care did not mediate the relationship between perceived stigma and viral load suppression.
More psychometric studies are needed to standardize the measurement of underlying factors affecting engagement in HIV care. This dissertation demonstrated their utility by measuring latent enablers of engagement in care, assessing the downstream effects of the latent enablers and…

▼ The relation between
stigma and chronic psychiatric conditions has been well documented. Family
stigma, a type of courtesy or associate
stigma, and its internalized version, affiliate
stigma, have been less examined but are nonetheless recognized. In the United States alone, over four million families are affected by
stigma due to their relationship with a family member with a chronic psychiatric condition. Whereas a large effort has been undertaken to better understand and attenuate
public stigma related to chronic psychiatric conditions, less research has been conducted to understand how to combat affiliate
stigma. Interventions are needed to reduce this type of
stigma at an individual level. Increasing family members’ feelings of personal empowerment is one intuitive strategy to reduce affiliate
stigma. This goal is also shared among self-help/mutual aid (SHMA) groups, such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), which allows family members of individuals with chronic psychiatric conditions to come together to improve their lives in the face of stigmatization. The current study aimed to examine the differences between participants involved in NAMI and non-NAMI participants on
stigma and empowerment as well as other adjustment and functioning variables, including depression and quality of life. Relations among these variables of interest across the sample were also examined. Group differences (NAMI versus non-NAMI) did not definitively emerge on variables of interest. However, when examining across the full sample, results indicated that empowerment was negatively related to affiliate
stigma and depression, as well as positively related to quality of life, among family members of individuals with chronic psychiatric conditions. Furthermore, the cognitive component of affiliate
stigma was positively related to depression and negatively related to mental quality of life, whereas perceived family
stigma was positively related to depression. Theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

▼ The current study observed the relation between psychological distress, stigma (public and self) and help-seeking attitudes for career and personal concerns. In particular, the study examined the contribution of psychological distress and stigma (public and self) to help-seeking attitudes. A total of 510 (N = 202 for career and N =308 for personal) students at a large Midwestern university completed an online survey in fall 2014. Data was analyzed using hierarchical moderated multiple regression. First, neither career distress nor personal distress contributed significant variance to help-seeking attitudes. Second, stigma (public and self), for both career and personal concerns, contributed significant variance to help-seeking attitudes; the relations were negative. Third, neither the interactions of career distress and public stigma nor personal distress and public stigma contributed significant variance to help-seeking attitudes. Last, the interaction of career distress and self-stigma did not contribute significant variance to help-seeking attitudes, but the interaction of personal distress and self-stigma did contribute significant variance. Results were discussed based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), modified labeling theory (MLT) and approach-avoidance models. Limitations, implications, and future studies were discussed.

stigma questions represented primary research outcomes. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done to examine the relationship between key explanatory factors and each
stigma question. Spatial and space-time point pattern analyses were done to analyze smoothed geographic distribution of responses to each question and to explore the association between geographic location and mental health
stigma controlling for individual-level covariates. Findings: Mental health
stigma is prevalent in Central Mozambique. Analyses showed that males, people who live in urban places, divorced and widowed individuals, the youngest age group, those with lower education, those endorsing no religion, and those in lower wealth quintiles tended to have significantly higher levels of stigmatizing attitudes towards MI. Individuals endorsing depressive symptoms scored significantly higher on some key stigmatizing questions potentially indicating internalized
stigma. Geographic location is significantly associated with people’s response to five of the
stigma questions adjusting/not adjusting for individual level factors. Conclusion: Greater awareness regarding the stigmatization of mental illness is needed. Further investigation on mental health
stigma should be done in Mozambique as well as other LMICs. Community-level
stigma interventions are urgently needed and could be targeted towards populations that were identified at higher risk.

▼ Heroin addiction is inclined to arouse fear, rejection and discriminatory behavior among the general public. Evidence shows that the public perceives heroin as harmful and addictive. Heroin is ranked as the most stigmatized condition.
While there is robust literature on mental illness stigma, there is limited research concerning addiction-related stigma. There are very few standardized stigma measures related to perceptions toward persons addicted to heroin.
The overall aim of the dissertation was to validate an attribution measurement model toward persons addicted to heroin and to determine its psychometric properties. The dissertation’s study employed an adapted 7-factor measurement model (Corrigan et al., 2002) to examine stigmatizing perceptions towards persons addicted to heroin. This is the first study to systematically evaluate model fit by implementing Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM).
A total of 657 Sociology students were analyzed over four stages: questionnaire review by expert panel, pilot-test, validation and replication. The study tested multiple incremental models and successfully determined that the results met multiple goodness-of-fit indices.
Through ESEM, Sociology-Social Control students supported the hypothesis that the adapted 7-factor attribution measurement model would fit data. The model included: Personal Responsibility, Pity, Anger, Helping Behavior, Dangerousness, Fear and Social Distance factors. Adequate power and sample size was demonstrated to support acceptance of the null hypothesis.
In addition to conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), ESEM tested the psychometric properties of the attribution measurement model. Implementing maximum likelihood extraction with oblique geomin rotation using Mplus software, the Sociology-Social Control students’ validation and replication datasets showed an excellent model fit to the data.
Results confirmed support for the superiority of the ESEM solution. The ESEM attribution measurement model fit better than the CFA model. Compared to the ESEM model, elevated factor correlations found in the CFA model were caused by the exclusion of meaningful cross-loadings.
Strong psychometric properties for the ESEM attribution model were evidenced, with good internal consistency and excellent test-retest reliability. The factor structure was replicable across the two groups of Sociology-Social Control students. Adequate ESEM incremental and convergent validity was supported by the simultaneous examination of the Social Distance scale and the Personal Consequences of Criminal Stigma measures with the measurement model. In the replication sample, familiarity demonstrated less stigmatizing perceptions than the SOC313 Course.
Our findings highlight marked differences between the Sociology-Social Control students and the general population’s perceptions of heroin addicts. The Sociology-Social Control students are not afraid of persons addicted to heroin, nor do they hold them…

▼ Mental illness affects one out of every five Americans between the ages 13-18, and it is estimated that two-thirds of these individuals will not seek treatment due to the stigma associated with having a mental illness or mental health issue (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Access to information and the ability to talk openly without fear will aid in creating a stigma free future. The goal of this project is to supply high school students in the San Francisco Bay Area with information regarding the stigma associated with mental health and mental illness via videos that will be used as deliverables, which will aid in starting a conversation or dialogue.

▼ L'objectif de cette thèse est d'explorer la stigmatisation perçue liée à la maladie d'Alzheimer (MA) parmi une population d'aidants familiaux (enfants adultes ou conjoints) accompagnant leurs proches (conjoints ou parents) vivant avec une probable MA. Parmi les patients, non seulement, il est examiné les sources de stigmatisation envers les personnes vivant avec une probable MA associées aux réactions émotionnelles et comportementales d'affiliation ou de distance sociale de l'entourage. Mais encore il est observé les facteurs de stigmatisation qui prédisent une variation de leur qualité de vie. Parmi, leurs aidants familiaux, il est étudié les facteurs de stigmatisation qui prédisent une variation de la symptomatologie dépressive et du fardeau de soins. Dans cette relation, il est étudié le rôle modérateur du soutien social. Nos résultats indiquent parmi les patients, que la fréquence des symptômes comportementaux liés à la dépression prédisent les émotions négatives et les comportements de distance sociale de l'entourage. Aussi, nous observons que la qualité de vie du patient varie selon son lieu de résidence. Au domicile, il est observé davantage de comportements de distance sociale venant de l'entourage. Parmi les proches aidants, il est constaté que soutien social modère les effets entre les émotions négatives, les comportements de distance sociale de l'entourage envers le patient, et la symptomatologie, le fardeau de soins des aidants. Mais que le soutien social exacerbe les effets entre les émotions positives de l'entourage et le fardeau de soins. Cette thèse permet d'objectiver la stigmatisation liée à la maladie d'Alzheimer parmi les patients et leurs proches aidants. Les résultats obtenus justifieraient l'élaboration d'actions de communication centrées sur la nécessité du soutien social auprès de l'ensemble des personnes affectées par la maladie d'Alzheimer.
This thesis aims at exploring the perceived stigmatization towards persons possibly leaving with Alzheimer’s disease among the population of the family caregivers – grown-up children and spouses. Not only do we have observed sources of stigmatizations aimed at patients possibly leaving with Alzheimer’s disease, in relation with emotional reactions and either affiliation behavior, or social distancing from the family and social circle, but we have also observed factors of stigmatization leading to variations in patients’ quality of life. Amongst family caregivers, we have studied factors of stigmatization leading to changes in the associated depressive symptoms and the increased caregiver burden. With respect to the relationship induced, we have given attention to the moderating role of social support. Our results show that, among patients, the negative emotions and the social distancing behavior from social circle can be linked to the frequency of behavioral symptoms related to the depression. With respect to this observation, we show an variation in the patients’ quality of life according to the places they live in. At home, we have noted increased…

▼ BackgroundPeople living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in rural Anhui, China face tremendous challenges, which may influence access to healthcare. This two-part study explored these issues. First, a quantitative study examined whether (a) two dimensions of HIV-related stigma (i.e., perceived stigma and internalized shame) or (b) three dimensions of social support (i.e., emotional support, tangible support, and affectionate support) are associated with access to care among HIV-positive men and women in rural Anhui, China. Second, a critical performance written and performed by the author applies ethnodrama strategies to explore HIV stigma and social support in Anhui Province. Methods The conceptual model integrates theoretical concepts of stigma and social support into Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Services Use. This was a secondary analysis of baseline data from participants (N = 522 PLWHA) in the Together for Empowerment Activities (TEA) study, a randomized controlled intervention trial among HIV-affected families in rural Anhui, China. The data were collected between October 2011 and March 2013 via computer-assisted personal interviewing. The analyses involved mixed-effects, multiple linear regression with village-level random effects to control for variance clustering by the village. Conquergood and ethnodrama strategies informed the elements included in the performance: movement, original text, quotes from PLWHA, and spectacle such as photographs, set, and props.Results Higher levels of perceived stigma were associated with poorer access to care (estimated difference = – 0.08, p = 0.015). With respect to social support, only higher levels of affectionate support were associated with greater access to care (estimated difference = 0.43, p < 0.0001). Tangible support was inversely associated with access to care (estimated difference = – 0.17, p = 0.003). Neither internalized shame nor emotional support was associated with access to care (p > 0.05). DiscussionThis study underscores complexities between HIV-related stigma, social support and access to care in rural Anhui, China. Future research should explore whether adverse effects exist for managing HIV disease in this region. Performance represents a potentially powerful, non-traditional approach to discussing these issues and disseminating some findings; future work should explore whether this holds in Anhui Province.

▼ Esta pesquisa teve como objetivos: 1. registrar por meio da pesquisa de campo a atual situação de duas escolas públicas paulistanas no que se refere à alfabetização, 2. repensar o mito do método de alfabetização como única variável no fenômeno do änalfabetismo escolarë levantar outras variáveis que contribuem para a reprodução (segundo Bourdieu) do analfabetismo nas classes sociais menos favorecidas, 3. apontar algumas conseqüências desse fenômeno como a estigmatização dessas pessoas e as conseqüências do analfabetismo para a sua vida social, profissional e econômica. O objeto/problema dessa pesquisa foi a relação entre o aprendizado da leitura e da escrita por alunos dos primeiros anos do ensino fundamental e os estigmas sociais advindos das diversas relações entre o aluno e a cultura escrita. O trabalho de campo foi realizado em duas escolas públicas municipais da cidade de São Paulo, denominadas Escola Leste (na qual realizei o trabalho nos anos de 2001 a 2004) e Escola Norte (na qual realizei o trabalho no ano de 2005). Os sujeitos da pesquisa na Escola Leste foram uma turma do quarto ano do Ciclo I do Ensino Fundamental, com enfoque em 10 alunos não-alfabetizados; na Escola Norte foi observada uma turma de quarto ano considerada como a \"piord̈a escola pelos profissionais contatados pela pesquisadora. Além desses sujeitos centrais, professores, diretores e coordenadores também contribuíram para a coleta de dados por meio de depoimentos e entrevistas. Essa coleta baseou-se em metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa, com características etnográficas. A pesquisadora conviveu com alunos em diversos locais dentro e fora da escola, conhecendo algumas famílias; participou ainda de eventos com professores, tais como reuniões, cursos e festas escolares. O texto resultante dessa pesquisa está dividido em quatro partes. Na primeira, fizemos uma síntese de alguns conceitos e debates realizados na área de alfabetização desde os anos de 1980 até os meses iniciais de 2006, período em que ocorreu uma polêmica acirrada entre os defensores do método fônico e defensores de outros paradigmas. Na segunda seção, procuramos traçar um perfil social dos sujeitos deste trabalho, utilizando-nos dos conceitos de estigma e de estranho, retirados da obra de Goffman e Bauman, respectivamente, e da análise da estrutura social da cidade de São Paulo, realizada com estatísticas oficiais. Quanto à questão cultural que envolve o ensino da língua escrita, partimos da contribuição de Biarnès, professor da Faculdade Paris XIII. Na terceira seção, apresentamos os dados coletados e, em seguida, na quarta seção e nas considerações finais, apontamos as variáveis, que, além do método de ensino, contribuem para o analfabetismo escolar, tais como as relações entre o espaço geográfico e a má qualidade do ensino, o currículo escolar e problemas administrativos.

▼ In light of the many social, medical, and political viewpoints on obesity, little is known of the weight loss maintenance experience and the impact on learning processes and outcomes among adults. The purpose of this study was two-fold: a) to explore the experience and meaning-making processes of individuals who have maintained a weight loss and b) to explore how this learning manifested in successful weight maintenance and improved self-identity despite cultural stressors. This study was grounded in three intersecting theoretical frameworks relating to adult education: Transtheorectical Model of Behavior Change Transformational Learning Theory and Critical Media Literacy as informed by Critical
Public Pedagogy. Narrative inquiry was chosen to study the nine stories of adult participants who successfully maintained a weight loss that bring meaning to the weight loss maintenance experience.
The collective analysis resulted in two categories and five themes. The first category centered on adult learning. The first theme was related to triggers that were grounded by health and life events. Secondly, learning processes were evident in the narratives and were either self-directed, largely instrumental knowledge and occurred in a non-formal environment. Thirdly, weight loss was seen primarily as a physical transformation motivated by increased self-concept and helping relationships. The second category centered on hegemony and resistance. The fourth theme focused on cultural stressors including the fashion and entertainment industries. The fifth theme focused on changes in obesity discourse post weight loss. The study ends with a consideration of the findings in light of the theory for adult learning and practical implications for strengthening subsequent intervention design.
