Incarceration Trauma From the Perspective of Individuals With Mental Illness
Traumatic experiences are prevalent within the criminal justice system, disproportionately impacting individuals with mental illness.

Participants completed demographic questionnaires, trauma assessments, and interviews. Eighteen met criteria for incarceration-related PTSD or CPTSD, altho…

This study analyzes a participatory project to develop peer support services for people with serious mental illnesses (SMIs) in China. Drawing on interviews with psychiatrists, social workers, service users, and a family caregiver, it examines the conditions, challenges, facilitators, and outcomes of participation in a paternalistic context unfamiliar with such approaches. Participation was made possible by local calls for change, personal trust,…

Self-Stigma, Secrecy, and Disclosure Among Chinese with Serious Mental Illness
Adapting and Evaluating a Strategic Disclosure Program to Address Mental Health Stigma Among Chinese
To share or not to share? Evaluation of a strategic disclosure program for suicide attempt survivors
While suicide attempt survivors often choose to conceal their suicidal thoughts and behaviors to avoid stigma, concealment might also limit the support they receive. This study evaluated a peer-led strategic disclosure intervention for suicide attempt survivors ( N = 38) who were randomized to either a 6-hour group disclosure intervention or waitlist control. Results showed a significant group-by-time interaction from baseline to post-interventio…
Using Multiple Regression Analyses to Uncover Patterns of Correlates of Grief Problems, Depression and Suicidal Ideation Among Suicide Bereaved Individuals
This analysis of a convenience sample survey of 195 suicide bereaved adults focuses on predictors of three important highly interrelated experiences among the suicide bereaved: grief problems, depression and suicidal thinking. Although each of these three experiences can be explained by a unique set of predictors, they share many commonalities. Several predictors stood out especially in either aggravating or alleviating these experiences: persona…
What’s in a word? Clarifying terminology on suicide-related communication
Efforts to clarify suicide terminology fail to address nuances in suicide-related communication, often relying on poorly-defined terms or implying communication exists primarily as manipulation. In the present paper, we review examples from existing literature and explore how personal suicide-related communication differs from prevention and exposure communication. We also separate definitions for five common types of personal-suicide-related com…
Recipients of Suicide-Related Disclosure
It is important to explore factors that could help or hinder one's wellbeing following a suicide attempt, which could yield not only negative consequences but also posttraumatic growth (PTG; positive changes following a traumatic event). The present study used a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) to test the relationship between disclosure, PTG, and posttraumatic depreciation among suicide attempt survivors when controlling for time si…
Benefits and risks of suicide disclosure
Understanding the factor structure of the public stigma of substance use disorder
Few empirical research studies have examined the public stigma of substance use disorder (SUD) compared to mental illness (MI). Expanding on the results of a qualitative study on the stigma of SUD, this study quantitatively examined items thought to represent the three constructs of public stigma: stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination. Additionally, exploratory factor analyses generated factor structures to provide meaning to each construct. …
Stigma and suicidality among suicide attempt survivors
Among people with mental illness, stigma experiences can increase suicidality, and suicidality itself is associated with negative stereotypes. Suicide attempt survivors experience both mental illness stigma and suicide stigma, which could contribute to their increased risk for completed suicide. We interviewed 13 suicide attempt survivors regarding experiences and consequences of stigma and identified five stigma-related themes. Stigma led to sub…
Perceived suicide stigma, secrecy about suicide loss and mental health outcomes
Perceived suicide stigma and consequent secrecy about suicide loss could contribute to impaired mental health among suicide loss survivors. Using online survey data from 195 suicide loss survivors, higher perceived suicide stigma was associated with more grief difficulties, higher suicidality, and less personal growth. Secrecy partly mediated the association between perceived suicide stigma and grief difficulties as well as suicidality and comple…

Background: In their 2016 report, the National Academy of Sciences identified that the existing literature on the stigma of substance use disorder (SUD) is sparse compared to the stigma of mental illness.Methods: This study utilizes a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to identify stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination of SUD from the perspectives of important stakeholders such as current users, former users, family member…
Behind Closed Doors
Many thousands of families lose a loved one to suicide each year. The stigma experienced by family survivors threatens to further burden families and impede the grieving process. This study used a community-based participatory research process to explore the family stigma of suicide from a social-cognitive perspective. We describe a secondary analysis of qualitative data focusing on stigma directed at bereaved families. Thematic analysis of focus…
Prioritizing the healthcare needs of Latinos with mental illness
Latinos with serious mental illness have higher morbidity and mortality rates than same age peers. In this paper, we review findings of a community based participatory research project meant to identify important health needs of this group, barriers to these needs, solutions to the barriers and the promise of peer navigators as a solution. Findings from a prior qualitative study yielded 84 themes related to needs, barriers and solutions. These fi…
