Abstract

This was a Mental Health Literacy (MHL) study looking at three disorders, part of a systematic research programme on MHL using vignette methodology to examine lay people’s knowledge and recognition. The study compared the recognition of the disorders in children and adults. In all 485 participants, aged 18–69 years, read three vignettes describing a person with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Conduct Disorder (CD). Vignette characters were described as either a child (aged 8yrs) or adult (aged 28 yrs). Participants attempted to label the disorder and then rated perceived seriousness and likelihood of disorder. Results from a 2 (sex) × 3 (disorder) way analysis of variance showed that CD was significantly perceived as the most serious disorder. ADHD was significantly considered more likely to be a disorder in adults yet recognised more in children. Younger participants correctly recognised ADHD, yet gave lower seriousness ratings. ASD was considered more serious in children. Women and highly educated individuals perceived ASD more seriously and recognised it more. Parents incorrectly identified CD but considered all disorders more seriously than non-parents. Clinical behaviours are more likely to be perceived as a disorder if they occur in adults, rather than children.
青少年与成人对注意缺陷多动障碍、自闭症谱系障碍和品行障碍的认知——心理健康素养的差异评估
这是一项针对三种疾病的心理健康素养(MHL)研究,是一项关于MHL的系统研究计划的一部分,该计划使用渐晕法来检查外行的知识和认可度。这项研究比较了儿童和成人对这些疾病的认识。在所有485名年龄在18-69岁之间的参与者中,他们阅读了三个小插曲,描述了一名患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)、自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)和行为障碍(CD)的人。Vignette角色被描述为儿童(8岁)或成人(28岁)。参与者试图给障碍贴上标签,然后对感知到的障碍的严重性和可能性进行评分。2(性别)×3(障碍)方差分析结果显示,CD被显著认为是最严重的障碍。ADHD在成人中被认为更可能是一种障碍,但在儿童中被更多地认识到。年轻的参与者正确地识别了多动症,但给出了较低的严重性评级。ASD被认为在儿童中更严重。女性和受过高等教育的人对自闭症谱系障碍的看法更为严肃,也更为认可。父母错误地识别了CD,但认为所有疾病都比非父母更严重。如果临床行为发生在成年人而不是儿童身上,则更有可能被视为一种障碍。
