Telephone-based group mental health support for older adults in central Canada
Background: Though experiences of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and social isolation are prevalent among older adults, treatment access is limited. In central Canada, based on participatory program development methods, our team of researchers, clinical psychologists, and community experts have developed and piloted a novel 6-session telephone-based group intervention called The CONNECT Program, based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitm…
The impact of the Big Five personality traits on help-seeking stigmas, attitudes, and intentions
Mental illness is common, consequential, and increasing in prevalence.Despite this, most individuals do not seek professional help for mental health concerns.Research has begun to investigate the impact of personality on help-seeking, but it has suffered from many limitations.As such, the purpose of this study was to establish the effects of the Big Five personality traits on public and selfstigma of seeking help, help-seeking attitudes, and inte…
Experiential avoidance moderates the degree to which internalized stigma affects older adults’ attitudes and intentions to seek mental health services
Older adults’ mental health information preferences
A small minority of older adults seek psychological help when they need it. Barriers to mental health service use among older adults include low mental health literacy and reduced opportunities for shared decision-making in health care. There is a gap in the literature examining the mental health information preferences of older adults. The objectives of this study were to describe the information preferences and predictors of preferences among o…
Exploring older adults’ experiences seeking psychological services using the network episode model
Older adults’ mental health problems are a growing public health concern, especially because their rate of mental health service use is particularly low. Decades of mental health service utilisation models have been developed, yet key assumptions from these models focus primarily on factors that facilitate or inhibit access into the treatment system without taking into considering the dynamics of how individuals respond to their mental health pro…
Examining the Dimensionality, Reliability, and Invariance of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale–21 (Dass-21) Across Eight Countries
This study evaluated the dimensionality, invariance, and reliability of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale–21 (DASS-21) within and across Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Romania, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and the United States ( N = 2,580) in college student samples. We used confirmatory factor analyses to compare the fit of four different factor structures of the DASS-21: a unidimensional model, a three-correlated-factors model, a …

Older Adults' Narratives of Seeking Mental Health Treatment
Older adults who experience challenges related to mental health are unlikely to seek professional help. The voices of older adults who have navigated through mental health issues and systems of care to arrive at psychological treatment are less well understood. We conducted individual interviews with 15 adults aged 61 to 86 who sought psychological treatment. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using narrative methods. We id…

Examining individual and geographic factors associated with social isolation and loneliness using Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) data
BACKGROUND: A large body of research shows that social isolation and loneliness have detrimental health consequences. Identifying individuals at risk of social isolation or loneliness is, therefore, important. The objective of this study was to examine personal (e.g., sex, income) and geographic (rural/urban and sociodemographic) factors and their association with social isolation and loneliness in a national sample of Canadians aged 45 to 85 yea…
Age and sex differences in self-stigma and public stigma concerning depression and suicide in men
Men are more likely to take their own lives, but less likely to seek professional help when they are depressed, especially as they age. Important determinants of help-seeking are perceived public and self-stigma concerning depression and suicide. Yet little research has explored sex and age differen
Older men's perceptions of the need for and access to male-focused community programmes such as Men's Sheds
Although participating in community social programming is associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes for older adults, older men participate less often than women. Men's Sheds is a community programme used primarily by older men that originated in Australia and is well established there. The goal of the current study was to explore men's perceptions of the need for Men's Sheds and issues concerning access to them in Canada, a co…
Cross-cultural validation of the Perceptions of Stigmatization by Others for Seeking Help (PSOSH) Scale
Social network stigma refers to the perceived negative views about seeking help for mental health problems that are held by those closest to an individual, such as family and friends. This form of stigma predicts help-seeking attitudes and intentions beyond other forms of stigma, and is predominantly measured using the Perceptions of Stigmatization by Others for Seeking Help scale (PSOSH; Vogel, Wade, & Ascheman, 2009). However, the PSOSH was nor…
Stigma of Seeking Psychological Services
Stigma is an important barrier to seeking psychological services worldwide. Two types of stigma exist: public stigma and self-stigma. Scholars have argued that public stigma leads to self-stigma, and then self-stigma is the primary predictor of attitudes toward seeking psychological services. However, this assertion is largely limited to U.S. samples. The goal of this research was to provide a first step in understanding the relationship between …

Stigma in Male Depression and Suicide
Stigma in men's depression and suicide can restrict help-seeking, reduce treatment compliance and deter individuals from confiding in friends and family. In this article we report sex comparison findings from a national survey of English-speaking adult Canadians about stigmatized beliefs concerning male depression and suicide. Among respondents without direct experience of depression or suicide (n = 541) more than a third endorsed the view that m…
The experiences of older male adults throughout their involvement in a community programme for men
Community programmes have been shown to provide social and emotional benefits for older adults. The vast majority of community programmes for older adults are either mixed-sex or female-oriented in their activities and composition. As such, there is a scarcity of both opportunities for, and research focusing on older male adults’ participation in community programmes geared towards men. The present study describes the experiences of older male ad…
Conflicted Goal Engagement
Employing health maintenance strategies that promote motivation-focused thinking but discourage goal-directed behaviors (conflicted engagement) may compromise physical activity and health among very old adults. Further research is needed to determine whether control-enhancing interventions promote harmonious goal engagement and better health among these high-risk individuals
Feasibility of Recruiting Spouses With DSM-IV Diagnoses for Caregiver Interventions
These results indicate that it would be extremely difficult for clinicians or researchers working in smaller cities or health care centers to run caregiver intervention groups using strict entrance criteria such as those employed in this study. The results of this study provide further support for the importance of diverse and tailored caregiver interventions
Associations Between Psychological Distress, Learning, and Memory in Spouse Caregivers of Older Adults
Family caregivers of older adults experience high levels of chronic stress and psychological distress, which are known to impair cognition. Very little research, however, has assessed the impact of caregiving on key cognitive outcomes such as learning and memory. This study compared 16 spouse caregivers with 16 matched controls using standardized neuropsychological measures of learning, episodic memory, and working memory. Analyses compared group…
Age, gender, and the underutilization of mental health services
The objectives of this study were to explore age and gender differences in attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, and to examine whether attitudes negatively influence intentions to seek help among older adults and men, whose mental health needs are underserved. To achieve these objectives 206 community-dwelling adults completed questionnaires measuring help-seeking attitudes, psychiatric symptomatology, prior help-seeking, and…
