Clinician views on treatments and research for first-episode psychosis in 14–18-year-olds
Background Limited research explores clinician perspectives on treatments for children and young people (CYP) experiencing first-episode psychosis (FEP), and clinician views on involving CYP in clinical trials. Understanding these perspectives can inform service development and research design.Method A survey was completed by 116 clinicians working in Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

Understanding the stigma of psychosis in ethnic minority groups
Psychosis is a mental health difficulty which is widely stigmatized. The stigma of psychosis can lead to detrimental consequences and cause further distress. The aim of this study was to explore the experience of stigma and discrimination of psychosis from the perspective of service users from ethnic minority backgrounds. A total of 21 semistructured interviews were conducted with service users with psychosis from ethnic minority backgrounds exam…
The nuances of “the social cure” for people who experience psychosis
People can derive health benefits from social group memberships. However, joining groups can be difficult for people experiencing psychosis due to the social impacts of the condition and public and internalised stigma. We interviewed a diverse group of 26 people experiencing psychosis and explored through thematic analysis their perceptions of how psychosis influenced social identity processes. Participants confirmed both the impact of psychosis …
Stigma towards psychosis
Public stigma towards people with mental health problems has been demonstrated in Western societies. Little is known about non‐Western cultures and whether cultures differ in their perceptions of people with mental health problems. Aim of this study was to examine cultural differences in prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination towards people with psychosis. Participants were from White British and South Asian backgrounds ( N = 128, aged 16–20 …
Cultural Differences in Psychosis
While previous research has demonstrated the negative impact of stigma in individuals with mental health problems, little is known about cross-cultural differences in experiences and explanations of mental health, in particular in young people, despite the first episode of psychosis often occurring in adolescence. Aim of this study was to examine cultural differences in causal beliefs and stigma toward mental health, in particular psychosis. Whit…
Providing mental health peer support 1
Background: While formalised mental health peer support is on the increase, there continues to be a lack of consensus regarding the peer supporter role. Aim: The aim was to develop consensus on the essential components, personal costs, personal benefits, barriers and facilitators involved in providing mental health peer support. Methods: The Delphi method was used. In the first round, an exhaustive list of statements pertaining to peer support wa…
Providing mental health peer support 2
Objective: Qualitative research has identified personal costs and benefits for peer supporters associated with their role; however, quantitative evidence is sparse. This study used quantitative methods to explore relationships in experiences of providing peer support with constructs of empowerment, hope, recovery, quality of life and internalised stigma. Differences were examined for those in statutory versus non-statutory services; who had thems…
The effects of peer support on empowerment, self-efficacy, and internalized stigma
Peer support is sometimes formalized and offered as an intervention in mental health services and organizations. Evidence suggests that empowerment, self-efficacy, and internalized stigma are theoretically linked and implicated in the change processes involved in peer support. This review aimed to synthesize quantitative evidence published in the English language from trials that introduced any type of peer support intervention on the outcomes of…
Are causal beliefs associated with stigma? A test of the impact of biogenetic versus psychosocial explanations on stigma and internalized stigma in people experiencing psychosis
Individuals with psychosis are often subject to external stigma and discrimination and commonly also experience internalized stigma. Attempts to improve attitudes have tended to medicalize the experiences associated with psychosis; however, research increasingly indicates an association between biogenetic attitudes and stigma. This study aims to evaluate this approach by investigating the impact of two different etiological explanations on both i…
I Believe I Know Better Even than the Psychiatrists What Caused It”
This study aimed to describe the causal beliefs of individuals experiencing psychosis, specifically exploring how they are developed and maintained. Individuals with experience of psychosis were recruited from mental health services for in-depth interviews. A thematic analysis was used to analyse transcripts and key themes were identified. Fifteen interviews were conducted. Individuals were engaged in the process of exploring explanations for the…
Mental health clinicians’ beliefs about the causes of psychosis
BACKGROUND: Previous evidence suggests that how an individual conceptualises the cause of a health problem can impact on subsequent perceptions and behaviour. AIMS: This study explored the beliefs about the causes of psychosis in a group of mental health professionals. The study also sought to examine the relationship between causal beliefs and the perceived helpfulness of different treatments. METHODS: A total of 219 clinicians completed a quest…
A (five-)level playing field for mental health conditions
The two approaches produce significantly different utility values in people with mental health conditions. Resulting differences in cost per QALY estimates suggest that thresholds of cost-effectiveness may also need to be reviewed. Researchers and decision-makers should exercise caution when comparing or synthesising data from trials of mental health interventions using different utility estimation approaches
Acute inpatients’ experiences of stigma from psychosis
Stigma is a common difficulty for those who experience psychosis as they are viewed as most dangerous, unpredictable, and least likely to recover. In particular, experiences of stigma are yet to be explored with inpatients admitted to psychiatric hospital. The aim of this study was to examine subjective experiences of stigma with acute psychiatric inpatients who experience psychosis. Twenty-five psychiatric inpatients with experiences of psychosi…
