Mental health-related stigma and attitudes toward patient care among providers of mental health services in a rural Chinese county
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The increasing prevalence of mental illness and low treatment rate presents a pressing public health issue in China. Pervasive stigma is a significant barrier to mental health recovery and community inclusion. In particular, stigmatizing or supportive attitudes held by healthcare providers could either perpetuate or mitigate self-stigma of people with mental illness. Moreover, mental health resources are unevenly distributed …

Public-academic partnerships to foster use of research evidence in improving youth outcomes: Findings from document analysis
Background: Although public-academic partnerships (PAPs) to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable populations have proliferated in public care for youth, existing literature lacks information about whether PAPs lead to public care agency leaders’ use of research evidence and promote youth mental health and well-being. Aims and objectives: The document analysis was conducted to understand PAP contexts and mechanisms leading to public car…

Careful screening and evaluation to validate diagnoses is important as the presence of certain psychiatric morbidity is common among adolescents with schizophrenia during the prodromal period. Developing acceptable and accessible interventions that will reduce psychiatric hospitalization and residential treatment care and improve care connection for schizophrenia treatment is important to mitigate complexity in treatment for adolescents and reduc…

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 participants who were heterogeneous with respect to gender, psychiatric diagnoses, sexual orientation and gender identity, and living environments. We found competencies for establishin…

Conceptualizing Community: The Experience of Mental Health Consumers
In this article we describe a focus group study of the perspectives of diverse groups of mental health consumers on the concept of community. We identify the core domains that constitute the notion of community, and commonalities and differences in the perception of community along the lines of ethnicity and sexual orientation/gender identity. Seven focus groups were conducted with a total of 62 participants. Transcripts were analyzed using the g…

Utilization of community-based services among homeless persons: An application of a theoretical model
Data from a longitudinal study of 379 homeless adults were analyzed to document the pattern of use of community-based social services and to identify the correlates of service use. The analytical framework employed was the Andersen model, adapted to take into consideration the life circumstances of homeless people in a demographically diverse setting. The relevance of predisposing, enabling, and need factors in predicting service use and type of …
Residential Transitions Among Homeless Families and Homeless Single Individuals: A Comparison Study
Based on a three-wave panel study, this paper compares the patterns of residential transitions between homeless and domiciled states among homeless women with children, single women and single men. It examines the extent of utilization of resources and support from work, income support programs, and informal social systems when initially homeless individuals were domiciled. Our analysis largely confirms previous research findings that homeless ad…
Predictors of Exit and Reentry among Family Shelter Users in New York City
This study explores the process of exit from and reentry to public family shelters for homeless families in New York City. A Cox proportional-hazards model was developed to identify the effects of demographic, family structure, reason for homelessness, and time-related variables on the hazard rates for different types of shelter discharge and shelter reentry. The study specifically explores the significance of type of housing placement as a predi…
A Dynamic Analysis of Homeless-Domicile Transitions
of the individual deficit and the institutional resource frameworks in understanding homeless-domicile transi-tions of female family heads, single women and single men. The study employs two analytic strategies. First, by pooling data from the three groups, we examine the extent to which variables derived from the two frameworks account for cross-group differences in homeless-domicile transitions. Second, by conducting sepa-rate analyses for the …

Health Status and Health-Care Utilization among the Homeless
Although previous studies have documented the relatively poor health of homeless people compared with other people, research on the predictors of health status and health-care utilization among the homeless has been quite limited. The study reported here departs from most earlier efforts in that it was based on a comparatively broad sample of homeless individuals and employed logistic regression techniques to identify attributes of the homeless t…
Single-Mother Families in Eight Countries: Economic Status and Social Policy
Previous research suggests that single mothers in the United States are less well off in a relative sense than single mothers in other countries and that overreliance on income-tested programs in the United States is the principal culprit for this disparity. We test these hypotheses using multiple regression analysis and data from eight countries in the Luxembourg Income Study. We find that cross-country differences in demographic characteristics…
