Multiple dimensions of the user experience (e.g., satisfaction with the usability of the site; emotions and learning during navigation), as well as the readability of content were measured.Methods In 2021, an online questionnaire was completed by 24 YP aged 14–25 years. Usability testing and the Flesch-Kincaid readability index were used to evaluate the website.Results Participants rated highly the various evaluated dimensions of the user experience and stated that due to the website, they learned several things that correspond to resilience factors frequently reported in the literature (e.g., better understanding of mental disorders and available resources). The Flesch-Kincaid index indicated readability appropriate for 14-year-olds.Discussion The website appears to be a promising tool for supporting resilience in YP. Participants’ suggestions for improvement will be used to develop an optimised version of the website, whose effectiveness can be tested in a randomised control study.KEYWORDS: Self-carewebsitemental health literacyparental mental illnessuser experienceyoung people Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by CRUJeF ; Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada: [Grant Number 892-2018-2024].","PeriodicalId":51720,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mental Health","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135592637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interest in articles about insecurities and paraphilias increased. There were more searches for child abuse-related topics. Views for depression decreased.Discussion We hypothesise that during the lockdown and enforced video communication, people’s concern about self-image and privacy arose, and the tendency to follow one’s desires online increased. There may be a possible interaction between media coverage and the novelty with the saturation of a given concept in the public discourse. The observations on the online interests of peers may become a sensitive predictor and early sign of arising new phenomena and increase of ongoing public health problems. The results of this study and future in-depth research may contribute to providing preventive programs including screening digital tools, and online apps for early intervention.KEYWORDS: WikipediaWikipedia searchesmental healthinternetCOVID-19 AcknowledgementsKC conducted the analyses, visualisations, and headed the write-up.

However, questions about the robustness of research designs employed to study DMH barriers remain unanswered. This review aimed to identify methodological approaches to identifying barriers to DMH use.Method Using PRISMA-SCr guided scoping review methodology, the research methods and designs used to study barriers to DMH use among MHPs and consumers were investigated. Four databases were searched using broad terms to identify articles that focused on exploring barriers to DMH use by MHPs and consumers, covering screening, assessment, diagnosis, therapy, counselling, and treatment of mental health issues.Results One hundred and forty-seven papers met the inclusion criteria. Ninety-six studies were qualitative, 25 were quantitative, and 25 were mixed methods. There were 66 consumer studies, 62 MHP studies, and 19 studies included both. Hundred and eight studies were published between 2017 and 2021, focusing on developed nations such as the USA, Australia, and the United Kingdom.Discussion There is increasing interest in the barriers to DMH use, with more research employing qualitative designs to identify DMH use barriers. Consensus regarding key terms and definitions; reliable and valid tools to measure DMH use barriers; and increased efforts to test specific DMH tools in more than one setting are needed to enable a better understanding of factors that influence MHPs’ and consumers’ use of DMH.","PeriodicalId":51720,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mental Health","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135734353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But what do we mean when we consider research that is good because of its social impact and its beneficial impact on others? In the first instance, research that attests to having a social impact needs to address societal needs and challenges (Reupert, 2018). This means that research questions need to be formulated that directly contribute to improving the wellbeing and quality of life of individuals and communities. Much research has already identified healthcare disparities, the experiences of marginalised groups, and those societal and organisational structures that create inequalities. Likewise, research conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic confirmed the significant health care gaps and the health inequalities of certain population groups that have existed for some time (Berger & Reupert, 2020). I would argue that we already know enough about those groups who are most at risk for their mental health; what we need is research that highlights those systems, interventions and structures that help people, families and communities obtain and maintain access to basic social needs and maintain wellbeing. To identify such approaches, research can be conducted that engages with key stakeholders such as those with lived experience and their families, policymakers, practitioners, and advocacy groups. Working with (not ‘on’) end users can foster shared decision-making, co-creation of knowledge, and ensure that research findings are relevant, actionable, and responsive to the needs of those directly impacted (Reupert et al., 2018). Research with a beneficial social impact often scales up successful interventions or solutions, and assesses their impact on a larger population. Evaluating an intervention during the scaling-up process provides an opportunity to identify necessary adaptations or modifications and where different contexts may require adjustments to the intervention to ensure its suitability and effectiveness (Chambers et al., 2013). This stance results in research that has a broad population reach with long term impacts, especially if trailed solutions can be embedded into routine organisational procedures such as client intake forms (Ward et al., 2017). The effective translation and dissemination of research can help bridge the gap between research findings and their application to policy and practice and hence have a positive social impact. Journals play a key part in this process and where the peer review process helps maintain high standards and credibility (Reupert, 2021). Journal articles can also help create networks of references and citations, linking related research articles together. The international scope of this journal allows researchers from different countries and regions to access and engage in research, and foster academic dialogue.

The aim of this research was to explore how black ethnic groups experience mental distress and find meaning in their experiences according to cultural heritage. Method: Semi-structured interviews with four participants and an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis were conducted. Results: Findings describe an awareness of cultural stigma relating to mental health, emotional distance impacting disclosure within the family, mental health as a misunderstood concept and feelings of empowerment through acceptance and supported disclosure. Whilst cultural heritage was important for developing awareness and understanding of stigma, attributed meanings of mental distress were individualistic. Discussion: Awareness of how stigmatic cultural conceptualisations are generationally represented and systemically maintained is vital to understanding how people from black ethnic groups experience mental distress. Clinical implications are discussed to explore how the socio-cultural and mental health needs of this population can be met.","PeriodicalId":51720,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mental Health","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83582402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
