Introduction Student mental health concerns are rising globally and educational institutions constitute critical settings for the prevention and early intervention of these issues in youth. Yet, mental health support structures often vary between countries, regions, and schools and a systematic monitoring of provision and use of services is missing. Methods To fill this gap, we surveyed 486 principals across 13 German federal states in spring 202…
The Role of Physical and Mental Health Conditions in Explaining Health Information Seeking and Avoidance Behaviors: An Application of the Planned Risk Information Seeking Model
Information seeking and avoidance are important coping strategies for individuals dealing with mental and physical health conditions. To explore the mechanisms behind these behaviors, this study applies the Planned Risk Information Seeking Model (PRISM). An online survey of 1,327 individuals with mental or physical health conditions found more similarities than differences in the predictors of both seeking and avoidance behaviors across these gro…
Social support through shared experiences: An exploratory analysis of various manifestations, reasons, and outcomes of implant patients interacting with other patients

Based on qualitative interviews with 32 orthopedic and cochlear implant patients, it examines the reasons for establishing peer relations and the evaluation of the support received. Different relationship types (bilateral, group-based, and parasocial) were theoretically derived and compared. The results demonstr…
Trapped in an information provision gap? A scoping review of (unmet) information needs, preferences, and behaviors among long-term cancer survivors
A scoping review was conducted to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the unmet needs and communication challenges faced by long-term cancer survivors. Information seeking, barriers, and avoidance behaviors were reflected. Following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, five databases were searched. Of 1,041 articles, 36 met the eligibility criteria. Studies focused on breast and prostate cancer survivors (50%) and survivors residing in North America…
Mental Models of Smart Implant Technology: A Topic Modeling Approach to the Role of Initial Information and Labeling
Public understanding of medical innovations such as smart technology is decisive for its acceptance and implementation. Thus, it is important to understand what visions people develop of a technology based on initial information such as the label. We chose smart implants as an example and conducted qualitative interviews with 47 former implant patients to record their mental models after exposing them to the idea of smart implants through a vigne…
Stigmatization of people with mental illness – a matter of milieu-specific worldviews? Results from a population-based survey in Germany
Our findings suggest that socio-cultural and socioeconomic dimensions of the society can be used for both describing heterogeneous societies and illuminating the underlying social structure of stigma. In addition to making blind spots more visible (i.e., schizophrenia), milieu-specific knowledge could be useful in deciding which intervention components are most appropriate for which milieu groups and how to apply them successfully
Cognitive frames of depression and their association with accessibility to mental health communication: A cluster analysis for developing stigma-sensitive targeting strategies
Introduction Depression is a globally prevalent mental disorder; however, the stigmatization of individuals experiencing depression remains a significant challenge. The effectiveness of mental health promotion efforts and anti-stigma messages is contingent upon individuals' existing beliefs and the stigmatizing potential of their attitudes. Thus, understanding how individuals perceive mental disorders such as depression, as well as their communic…
Clarifying the Relationship Between Information Seeking and Avoidance: Longitudinal Analyses of Information Behaviors and Their Normative Influences
Information seeking and avoidance are relevant behaviors to cope with health crises. While there are various assumptions about their relationship, past research has not yet analyzed their interplay. The present study aims to clarify the relationship between information seeking and avoidance in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and shed light on whether both behaviors are impacted by seeking- and avoidance-related norms, which are known factors …
Health Information Repertoires of Implant Patients: Toward a Deeper Understanding of Multiple Source Use and the Role of Health-Related Motives
Health information-seeking behavior can be understood as an active and purposeful acquisition of information from selected information sources. It supports patients to cope with medical and health-related uncertainties and enables them to engage in informed decision-making. To obtain health information, patients can turn to a variety of sources, such as going to a physician, exchanging information with their family, or using different Internet so…
Media Coverage of Alcohol-Use Disorders in German Newspapers and Magazines: A Topic-Specific Frame Analysis
Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are pressing social problems. News media play a key role in setting the agenda for the public discourse and framing these problems. They provide people affected and unaffected with health-related information on different facets of the disease and present the topic in various contexts. In doing so, they shape the public opinion and influence behaviors. On the basis of an explorative quantitative content analysis of N = …
What Drives or Inhibits Individuals’ Intention to Seek Information About Medical Innovations? Findings From an Online Survey Among German Residents
Innovation research fighting for public attention and counteracting science-skeptical views raise the need for insights into why individuals are motivated to engage with scientific knowledge. Guided by the Planned Risk Information Seeking Model (PRISM), additionally considering mistrust in science and innovativeness, the study aimed to explain individuals’ intention to seek information about medical innovations. Findings of an online survey among…
Self- and surrogate-seeking of information about mental health and illness in Germany
Our study provides insights into the public's mental health information orientation. The findings may particularly guide strategies to improve mental health awareness and fill knowledge gaps in supporting informed decision-making and reducing stigma. Surrogate seekers appear to be an important and distinctive target group for mental health information provision. Depending on whether one wants to promote surrogate- or self-seeking seekers, differe…
Psychological Distress and Coping Ability of Women at High Risk of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer before Undergoing Genetic Counseling—An Exploratory Study from Germany
Carriers of pathogenic variants causing hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) are confronted with a high risk to develop malignancies early in life. The present study aimed to determine the type of psychological distress and coping ability in women with a suspicion of HBOC. In particular, we were interested if the self-assessed genetic risk had an influence on health concerns and coping ability. Using a questionnaire established by the Germ…
Exploratory Research Focusing on Oral Cancer Prevention: Challenges of Dealing With Informational and Cognitive Barriers
Oral cancer is a considerable public health problem, and a low level of awareness and knowledge about this tumor and its risk factors is prevalent. To gain a profound understanding of risks groups and to identify suitable communication strategies for a prevention campaign in Northern Germany, an exploratory research was realized. In semistructured face-to-face interviews, the participants of the study ( n = 28) described their individual oral can…
