Grant Proposal-Assessing the role of stigma towards mental health patients in help seeking
Study problem
There are several studies that have shown that stigmatization towards mental health patients have been present throughout history and even despite the evolution in modern medicine and advanced treatment. For example, Verhaeghe et al., (2014), captures in a publication in reference to a study that he conducted that stigmatization towards mental health patients has been there even as early is in the 18th Century. People were hesitant to interact with people termed or perceived to have mental health conditions.
Stigmatization has resulted from the belief that those with mental problem are aggressive and dangerous creating a social distance (Szeto et al., 2017). Also, mental health-related stigma has become of major concern as it creates crucial barriers to access treatment and quality care since it not only influences the behaviour of the patients but also the attitude of the providers hence impacting help-seeking. Timmermann, Uhrenfeldt and Birkelund (2014), have identified stigma as a barrier that is of significance to care or help seeking while the extent to which it still remains a barrier have not been reviewed deeply. Therefore, this study will assess the role contributed by stigma in help seeking in depth. 1. Purpose
The intention of the research study is to review the association between stigma, mental illness and help seeking in order to formulate ways in which the stigma that is around mental health is done away with to enable as many people suffering from mental health complications to seek medical help.2. Background
Mental health is crucial in every stage of life. It is defined as the state of psychological well-being whereby the individual realizes a satisfactory integration instinctual drive acceptable to both oneself and his or her social setting (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). The status of mental health influences physical health, relationships, and most importantly day-to-day life. Mental health problems arise when there is a disruption in mental well-being.
The risk factors to mental health problems are not limited and therefore everyone is entitled to the problem irrespective of gender, economic status, and ethnic group. For example, data shows that in America one out of five individuals experience mental health problems annually; with mental disorders being recognized as the leading cause of disability not only in the United States but also globally (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). Mental health disorders are seen to be complex and of many forms such as anxiety, mood, and schizophren.

Week 8 Sample Section Example
Written by Jennifer Oddy, Entitled: Distress And Coping of Mothers of Children With Muscular Dystrophy
Sampling Method, Sample, and Setting
Sampling method. The participants will be recruited by criterion purposive sampling by their doctors/nurses at the Muscular Dystrophy Association clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital.
Sample. Inclusion criteria are the following: (1) You are 21 years of age or greater; (2) are the mother of a child with muscular dystrophy; (3) your child is aged between 4 and 17 and was 10 years or younger at their first physical assessment by a primary care provider; (4) you provide roughly 75% or more of the home care for the child.
People will not be eligible for this study if they: (1) have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder (bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or have a physical addiction to drugs or alcohol); (2) if the child is currently residing in a long-term care facility.
The sample size will ideally be about 10 participants. Phenomenological studies tend to rely on very small samples, since there is one guiding principle for selecting the sample: all participants must have experienced the phenomenon and must be able to articulate what it is like to have lived the experience (Polit & Beck, 2012). Data will be collected until saturation is accomplished.
Setting. The proposed setting for this study is at the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital located at 300 Longwood Ave, Boston, MA. There are two directors at the clinic, an orthopedic, and a pediatric neurologist. The team members include a social worker, physical therapist, and a genetic counselor. The number of patients at the clinic cannot be disclosed, however, Boston Children’s Hospital is considered an elite clinic and is included in the MDA network that supports clinical trials and research. The hospital offers the highest level of diagnostic and treatment services, with neurologists and other specialists being very experienced in treating children with muscular dystrophy.
Informed consent and ethical considerations
Before enrolling participants in this study, an informed consent must be signed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB, Appendix A). This will be obtained from the Muscular Dystrophy Association clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital, as well as from Regis College. An application and proposal will be sent to the IRB, requesting approval for this study. Since there is minimal risk to subjects, an expedited review will be requested (Polit & Beck, 2012). There is a risk that the participant may have feelings of discomfort while discussing the experiences of caring for a child with muscular dystrophy. This will be minimized by the researcher with empathy and compassion. If the participant would like counseling, a call will be made to their primary care provider.
There are no foreseen ethical issues involved in this research study. The interviews will be ta ...

Research topic
A systematic review of the association between stigma and or on help-seeking among mental health patients.
Research Problem
Stigma or the process of labelling, discrimination and prejudice towards individuals suffering from mental health problems is considered to have numerous adverse consequences compared to the health conditions themselves according to Thornicroft, Mehta, Clement, Evans-Lacko, Doherty, Rose & Henderson, (2016). In addition, research has found stigma to be responsible for the failure of numerous individuals suffering from mental health to seek help from both their close relatives or trusted individuals and from healthcare providers (Clement, Schauman, Graham, Maggioni, Evans-Lacko, Bezborodovs, Thornicroft, 2015).
Given an increase in mental health disorders and the challenges that such disorders pose to both individuals and society, numerous studies have been conducted to examine the association between stigma and help-seeking among mental health patients. However, research has largely focused on the attitudes that constitute stigma towards mental health patients and little on the interventions required to reduce or eradicate stigma. Moreover, since the failure to reduce stigma prevents mental health patients from seeking help and hence worsening their conditions, there is need for further studies regarding the association between stigma and help-seeking and the need to reduce stigma making the study not only relevant but significant.
Research purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the association between stigma and help-seeking among mental health patients and to identify proven strategies or actionable recommendation for reducing stigma.
Research objectives
The objective of the study will be to (1) Explore the extent to which stigma posses a barrier to help-seeking among mental health patients, (2) Identify whether stigma affects certain populations more than others and (3) propose strategies that can help reduce stigma.
Research question
The study will aim to answer the following questions (1) What is the association between stigma towards mental health patients and help-seeking? (2) To what extent does stigma constitute a barrier to the search for help among mental health patients and (3) Are there populations that are more deterred from seeking help due to stigma?
Research hypothesis
Ho: Stigma towards mental health patients deters them from seeking help
Ha: There is no association between stigma and the search for help among mental health patients.
In addition, the study hypothesizes that a reduction in stigma would result in increased help-seeking among mental health patients.

Mental and Emotional Well-being

Public health issue: Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
Analysis of the mental and emotional wellbeing
In many nations s the mental health of the citizens of the country is recognised largely as the key element towards the human development regarding his physical health. Furthermore, the mental health is a vital capstone toward the improvement of the socioeconomic status in a nation. Mental disorders especially depressions have contributed largely to the deterioration of the economic level of the relative organisation and the country at large (Grob, 2016).
Economic principles and indicators of mental and emotional wellbeing
The high ascending rate of mental health in the society have to lead to an increase in demand for identification of the evidence that supports the mental health traces in people. More likely, there is a need for investigation of the most effective ways that can be used to cube this factor, which should be very cost effective. Mental health or the physical well-being is a key factor in determining the behaviour of the individual in the employment environment as well as in the marketing environment (Grob, 2016).
Mental health will contribute on the way the resources are distributed among the individual making up a society. Furthermore, economics will be concerned on how the diverse ways of resources allocation have an impact on the society people. However, the resources available to meet all the health needs are very finite (Grob, 2016).
About the mental health and emotional well-being, the decision on the allocation of resources is a very complicated decision as the mental diseases tend to be common, disabling and long-lasting. Mental disorders are associated with welfare cases. When people in a society or a nation have conflicts as a result of mental disorders, they will affect the economic status of the nation. This is evidenced by the destruction of available resources. Despite this, inflation is another key economic indicator associated with mental disorders (Grob, 2016). A nation will secure loans from other nation with the aim of conquering the mental health issue. This will raise the level of inflation in the affected nation as it tries to coup with the payment of the loans.
Economic impact of mental health and wellbeing
1. Unemployment and poverty
Mental disorders are characterized by the fact that the mentally affected people will always tend to be accompanied by job-related issues. For instance, a mentally affected person will have a periodic character of absenteeism in the job. This will mean that the affected worker will not perform his delegated tasks. The employers will not allow such a worker, and he ends up quitting the job (World Health Organization, 2014).
2. Effect on personal income
As the rate of mental health increase, it affects the rate of working of the affected person regard ...

March 28, 2016
There has been increased concern among policy makers, scientists and communities that health is greatly affected by a number of factors that occur in a person’s lifetime and in multi levels. Prevention is sententious to curb occurrence of any disease within the population, and it has to come first even if access to quality healthcare services is provided. To adequately promote health and prevent diseases, certain policies and factors need to be addressed mostly factors that are related to health behaviors.
Social psychology is all about understanding individuals’ behavior specifically in a social setting. Basically, social psychology focuses on factors that influence people to behave in certain ways in presence of others. The two greatest contributors in the field of social psychology were Allport (1920) and Bandura (1963). To begin with, according to Allport; he argued that the interaction of individuals with others or the presence of social groups can encourage the development of certain behaviors (Kassin, 2014). This is what Allport referred to as social facilitation, in his research he identified that an audience will facilitate the performance of an actor in a well learnt and understood task; however the performance of the same actor will decrease in performance on difficult tasks which are newly learnt, and this is contributed by social inhibition. The second contributor in the field of social psychology is Bandura (1963), in his work he developed a notion that behavior in the social world could be possibly modeled, and this is what he referred to as social learning theory. He gave his explanation with three groups of children who were watching a video where in the video an adult showed aggressiveness towards a “bobo doll” and the adults who displayed such behavior were awarded by another adult or were just punished. Therefore Bandura found that children who saw the adult being rewarded were found to be more likely to imitate that adult’s behavior.
Certain theories plays important roles in health assessment, and a theory is defined as a collection of concepts in specific area of concern or interest in the world that need explanations, intervening and prediction. Theories need to be backed up with evidence that tend to explain why things will happen in relation to current situations, and followed with some actions to turn situations in certain desirable ways. Health assessment can be defined as a plan of care that recognizes specific person’s health needs and how such needs will be addressed by healthcare system or any other health institutions (Jarvis, 2008). Generally, health assessment is the evaluation of health status through examination of physical and psychological concerns after looking at the health history of the victim assess ...

b) To what degree does stigma constitute a barrier to the search for help among mental health patients?
c) Are there populations that are more deterred from seeking help due to stigma?
Research Hypothesis
Ho: stigma towards mental health patients have a significant role in influencing help seeking
Ha: the extent to which stigma influences help seeking is not significant
Theoretical framework
Stigma has been described as a negative effect of a label and the product of disgrace that makes a person to be apart from others (Henderson et al., 2013). It is built upon distinct constructs prejudice, discrimination, and stereotypes (Henderson et al., 2013). For example, believing that those people diagnosed with mental illness is stereotype. Also, agreeing with the fact that those with mental problem are indeed dangerous with a resultant fear or anger is prejudice while discrimination is the total avoidance to those with mental conditi ...

Public health issue: Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
Analysis of the mental and emotional wellbeing
In many nations s the mental health of the citizens of the country is recognised largely as the key element towards the human development regarding his physical health. Furthermore, the mental health is a vital capstone toward the improvement of the socioeconomic status in a nation. Mental disorders especially depressions have contributed largely to the deterioration of the economic level of the relative organisation and the country at large (Grob, 2016).
Economic principles and indicators of mental and emotional wellbeing
The high ascending rate of mental health in the society have to lead to an increase in demand for identification of the evidence that supports the mental health traces in people. More likely, there is a need for investigation of the most effective ways that can be used to cube this factor, which should be very cost effective. Mental health or the physical well-being is a key factor in determining the behaviour of the individual in the employment environment as well as in the marketing environment (Grob, 2016).
Mental health will contribute on the way the resources are distributed among the individual making up a society. Furthermore, economics will be concerned on how the diverse ways of resources allocation have an impact on the society people. However, the resources available to meet all the health needs are very finite (Grob, 2016).
About the mental health and emotional well-being, the decision on the allocation of resources is a very complicated decision as the mental diseases tend to be common, disabling and long-lasting. Mental disorders are associated with welfare cases. When people in a society or a nation have conflicts as a result of mental disorders, they will affect the economic status of the nation. This is evidenced by the destruction of available resources. Despite this, inflation is another key economic indicator associated with mental disorders (Grob, 2016). A nation will secure loans from other nation with the aim of conquering the mental health issue. This will raise the level of inflation in the affected nation as it tries to coup with the payment of the loans.
Economic impact of mental health and wellbeing
1. Unemployment and poverty
Mental disorders are characterized by the fact that the mentally affected people will always tend to be accompanied by job-related issues. For instance, a mentally affected person will have a periodic character of absenteeism in the job. This will mean that the affected worker will not perform his delegated tasks. The employers will not allow such a worker, and he ends up quitting the job (World Health Organization, 2014).
2. Effect on personal income
As the rate of mental health increase, it affects the rate of working of the affected person regard ...

Findings Used to Make Public Health Planning and Policy Decisions
Unit 4 - HA560
March 28, 2016
There has been increased concern among policy makers, scientists and communities that health is greatly affected by a number of factors that occur in a person’s lifetime and in multi levels. Prevention is sententious to curb occurrence of any disease within the population, and it has to come first even if access to quality healthcare services is provided. To adequately promote health and prevent diseases, certain policies and factors need to be addressed mostly factors that are related to health behaviors.
Social psychology is all about understanding individuals’ behavior specifically in a social setting. Basically, social psychology focuses on factors that influence people to behave in certain ways in presence of others. The two greatest contributors in the field of social psychology were Allport (1920) and Bandura (1963). To begin with, according to Allport; he argued that the interaction of individuals with others or the presence of social groups can encourage the development of certain behaviors (Kassin, 2014). This is what Allport referred to as social facilitation, in his research he identified that an audience will facilitate the performance of an actor in a well learnt and understood task; however the performance of the same actor will decrease in performance on difficult tasks which are newly learnt, and this is contributed by social inhibition. The second contributor in the field of social psychology is Bandura (1963), in his work he developed a notion that behavior in the social world could be possibly modeled, and this is what he referred to as social learning theory. He gave his explanation with three groups of children who were watching a video where in the video an adult showed aggressiveness towards a “bobo doll” and the adults who displayed such behavior were awarded by another adult or were just punished. Therefore Bandura found that children who saw the adult being rewarded were found to be more likely to imitate that adult’s behavior.
Certain theories plays important roles in health assessment, and a theory is defined as a collection of concepts in specific area of concern or interest in the world that need explanations, intervening and prediction. Theories need to be backed up with evidence that tend to explain why things will happen in relation to current situations, and followed with some actions to turn situations in certain desirable ways. Health assessment can be defined as a plan of care that recognizes specific person’s health needs and how such needs will be addressed by healthcare system or any other health institutions (Jarvis, 2008). Generally, health assessment is the evaluation of health status through examination of physical and psychological concerns after looking at the health history of the victim assess ...

It has created a gap among women with low income in South Texas. Accordingly, the authors used the determination of the differences in income to understand the relationships between health outcomes and welfare reforms as it impacts the less privileged women in comparison to the most affected women.

Hence the need to culturally specify mental health intervention to improve mental health utilization in the community.

Mental Health and Social Work

Introduction
How well a person is able to live a full life, build and maintain relationships and pursue their education, profession or other pursuits requires them to maintain their well-being ranging from physical to mental health. When assisting others to achieve good and self-motivated changes, social workers draw on their relationship-based abilities and emphasize personalization and rehabilitation. A key issue is, "What components and obstacles of an assessment are there in order to reach these outcomes?" When it comes to health promotion and public involvement, social workers are well-suited for this role since primary care is all about these things. Social workers who deal with mental health have unique challenges in assessment, which necessitates them learning and using psychiatric principles. Identifying the need for mental health care requires an understanding of assessment principles.
For this research, the focus is on urban youth's increase in mental health cases which is more influenced by lack of access to mental health care as a result of poverty that affects many children and families in the US. Young people are the most impacted by poverty, accounting for 33% of the total number of individuals in poverty. Children who live in "high risk neighborhoods" are more likely to lack access to the mental health supports they need to manage their symptoms. Stabilization, individual treatment, and symptom management are all important aspects of aftercare for children who have been hospitalized for behavioral difficulties by the time they are six years old (Hodgkinson, 2017).
Literature Review
Inequality based on race and class has been shown to be associated with a variety of negative health outcomes, including poor mental health. Increased financial disparity is associated with an increase in the prevalence of mental illness along a social gradient in mental health. However, psychiatric and psychological approaches have dominated ment ...

For the Research Assignment, I have chosen to focus on an area of Healthcare that rarely gets the
attention it deserves Mental health. I
chose this topic because I am personally effected by it and so are many millions of Americans. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of
death in our nation and one life is lost as a result of suicide, abuse or incarceration every 17mins in the United States. Mental illness has been my
area of focus throughout this program and the advocacy and participatory philosophy will be useful for the final project because it suggests that “
that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political agenda” (Creswell, p.9). I do believe that mental health has a specific
agenda for a study and that there has been constant aim for reform in healthcare and mental health. This social issue is definitely pertinent right
now and topics that address it such as “empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, suppression, and alienation” (Creswell, p.9), and are
really the focus of the study. The goal of this project for me, is to provide a voice to participants and give them the ability address the concerns that
will lead to reform.
According to Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998) this philosophy offers four key features of the advocacy/participatory framework of inquiry:
1. Participatory actions are focused on bringing about change, and at the end of this type of study, researchers create an action agenda for change.
2. It is focused on freeing individuals from societal constraints, which is why the study begins with an important issue currently in society.
3. It aims to create a political debate so that change will occur.
4. Since advocacy/participatory researchers engage participants as active contributors to the research, it is a collaborative experience.
Research Problem Statement
My Vision is to Provide members of the community with the opportunities and education needed to prevent death due to suicide, acts of self-harm
and the traumatic impact of mental illness. By promoting resilience, the enhancement of community resources, conflict resolution and support for
individuals, families and the communities of those who suffer with mental disorders, illness or have a sudden mental health crisis. The target
population includes all individuals within Chatham County, with unmet mental health needs. These individuals are currently not being served by
traditional methods due to financial, structural, and personal barriers including access and stigma. Untreated mental health issues of these
individuals put them at risk for exacerbation of physical health problems, suicide attempts, premature moves to long-term care se.

The study had 12 participants including providers and community leaders who were familiar with the target population. The findings of the study indicated that there is a gap here in cultural acceptance of mental health treatment. Hence the need to culturally specify mental health intervention to improve mental health utilization in the community. However, the study was limited by the small sample size; therefore, the findings cannot be generalized. Further studies should include more cultural groups to validate the findings of this research.
C. Kwan, P. P., Soniega-Sherwood, J., Esmundo, S., Watts, J., Pike, J., Sabado-Liwag, M., & Palmer, P. H. (2020). The authors of this study aimed to evaluate the facilitators and barriers to mental health utilization among Pacific Islanders. Semi structure interviews were used to collect information from 12 pacific islanders. Trained community leaders recruited eligible candidates for the study. The study was limited by the small sample size. Five themes arose from the study. There is a gap here in regard to cost of healthcare, mental health stigma and language and culture barriers, which were the themes that emerged concerning barriers affecting the utilization of mental health services. The researchers indicated the need for future studies to include a larger sample size to enable generalization of the findings.

Mental Health and Social Work
Shanae Hampton
Cal Baptist University
Introduction
How well a person is able to live a full life, build and maintain relationships and pursue their education, profession or other pursuits requires them to maintain their well-being ranging from physical to mental health. When assisting others to achieve good and self-motivated changes, social workers draw on their relationship-based abilities and emphasize personalization and rehabilitation. A key issue is, "What components and obstacles of an assessment are there in order to reach these outcomes?" When it comes to health promotion and public involvement, social workers are well-suited for this role since primary care is all about these things. Social workers who deal with mental health have unique challenges in assessment, which necessitates them learning and using psychiatric principles. Identifying the need for mental health care requires an understanding of assessment principles.
For this research, the focus is on urban youth's increase in mental health cases which is more influenced by lack of access to mental health care as a result of poverty that affects many children and families in the US. Young people are the most impacted by poverty, accounting for 33% of the total number of individuals in poverty. Children who live in "high risk neighborhoods" are more likely to lack access to the mental health supports they need to manage their symptoms. Stabilization, individual treatment, and symptom management are all important aspects of aftercare for children who have been hospitalized for behavioral difficulties by the time they are six years old (Hodgkinson, 2017).
Literature Review
Inequality based on race and class has been shown to be associated with a variety of negative health outcomes, including poor mental health. Increased financial disparity is associated with an increase in the prevalence of mental illness along a social gradient in mental health. However, psychiatric and psychological approaches have dominated ment ...

For the Research Assignment, I have chosen to focus on an area of Healthcare that rarely gets the
attention it deserves Mental health. I
chose this topic because I am personally effected by it and so are many millions of Americans. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of
death in our nation and one life is lost as a result of suicide, abuse or incarceration every 17mins in the United States. Mental illness has been my
area of focus throughout this program and the advocacy and participatory philosophy will be useful for the final project because it suggests that “
that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political agenda” (Creswell, p.9). I do believe that mental health has a specific
agenda for a study and that there has been constant aim for reform in healthcare and mental health. This social issue is definitely pertinent right
now and topics that address it such as “empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, suppression, and alienation” (Creswell, p.9), and are
really the focus of the study. The goal of this project for me, is to provide a voice to participants and give them the ability address the concerns that
will lead to reform.
According to Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998) this philosophy offers four key features of the advocacy/participatory framework of inquiry:
1. Participatory actions are focused on bringing about change, and at the end of this type of study, researchers create an action agenda for change.
2. It is focused on freeing individuals from societal constraints, which is why the study begins with an important issue currently in society.
3. It aims to create a political debate so that change will occur.
4. Since advocacy/participatory researchers engage participants as active contributors to the research, it is a collaborative experience.
Research Problem Statement
My Vision is to Provide members of the community with the opportunities and education needed to prevent death due to suicide, acts of self-harm
and the traumatic impact of mental illness. By promoting resilience, the enhancement of community resources, conflict resolution and support for
individuals, families and the communities of those who suffer with mental disorders, illness or have a sudden mental health crisis. The target
population includes all individuals within Chatham County, with unmet mental health needs. These individuals are currently not being served by
traditional methods due to financial, structural, and personal barriers including access and stigma. Untreated mental health issues of these
individuals put them at risk for exacerbation of physical health problems, suicide attempts, premature moves to long-term care se.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Grant Proposal-Assessing the role of stigma towards mental
health patients in help seeking
Study problem
There are several studies that have shown that stigmatization
towards mental health patients have been present throughout
history and even despite the evolution in modern medicine and
advanced treatment. For example, Verhaeghe et al., (2014),
captures in a publication in reference to a study that he
conducted that stigmatization towards mental health patients has
been there even as early is in the 18th Century. People were
hesitant to interact with people termed or perceived to have
mental health conditions.
Stigmatization has resulted from the belief that those with
mental problem are aggressive and dangerous creating a social
distance (Szeto et al., 2017). Also, mental health-related stigma
has become of major concern as it creates crucial barriers to
access treatment and quality care since it not only influences
the behaviour of the patients but also the attitude of the
providers hence impacting help-seeking. Timmermann,
Uhrenfeldt and Birkelund (2014), have identified stigma as a
barrier that is of significance to care or help seeking while the
extent to which it still remains a barrier have not been reviewed
deeply. Therefore, this study will assess the role contributed by
stigma in help seeking in depth. 1. Purpose
The intention of the research study is to review the association
between stigma, mental illness and help seeking in order to
formulate ways in which the stigma that is around mental health
is done away with to enable as many people suffering from
mental health complications to seek medical help.2. Background
3. Mental health is crucial in every stage of life. It is defined as
the state of psychological well-being whereby the individual
realizes a satisfactory integration instinctual drive acceptable to
both oneself and his or her social setting (Ritchie &
Roser, 2018). The status of mental health influences physical
health, relationships, and most importantly day-to-day life.
Mental health problems arise when there is a disruption in
mental well-being.
The risk factors to mental health problems are not limited and
therefore everyone is entitled to the problem irrespective of
gender, economic status, and ethnic group. For example, data
shows that in America one out of five individuals experience
mental health problems annually; with mental disorders being
recognized as the leading cause of disability not only in the
United States but also globally (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). Mental
health disorders are seen to be complex and of many forms such
as anxiety, mood, and schizophrenia, among others.
Data shows that in 2017 about seven hundred and ninety-two
million people lived with a mental disorder. Challenges have
been identified with data presentation since mental health
disorders are under-reported worldwide (Ritchie &
Roser, 2018). World health organization data shows that mental
health disorders are not only determined by one’s ability to
manage their thoughts, behavior and interaction with others but
also economic, environmental and social factors. For example,
the on-going global financial crisis creates a macroeconomic
phenomenon that provides a significant opportunity for mental
health consequences with an increased rate of suicide and
harmful substance use.
Most research studies have shown that there exist many gaps in
relation to mental health problems. The gap ranges from
treatment interventions and effective use of the available tools
to reduce the issues of mental health. For example, there exists
4. a research gap on the interventions meant to reduce and
eradicate stigma which has been recognized as a determinant of
mental health problems and this spiked my interest.
Therefore, in order to fill this gap such question as a) what is
the association between stigma towards mental health patients
and help-seeking? b) To what extent does stigma constitute a
barrier to the search for help among mental health patients? And
c) Are there populations that are more deterred from seeking
help due to stigma? Have to be answered through research to get
the intended purpose.
Research objectives
a) To explore the impacts of stigma
b) To assess an association between the contributing factors of
stigma to help seeking
c) To assess the extent in which these factors of stigma
contribute to help seeking.
Research questions
How does the stigma around mental health complications
prevent those suffering from mental health complications from
seeking medical help?
Theoretical framework
Stigma has been described as a negative effect of a label and the
product of disgrace that makes a person to be apart from others
(Henderson et al., 2013). It is built upon distinct constructs
prejudice, discrimination, and stereotypes (Henderson et al.,
2013). For example, believing that those people diagnosed with
mental illness are dangerous leads to many people not wanting
to associate with those who are mental ill. In return, those with
mental health complications become unwilling to let people
know of their status to save themselves from discrimination and
5. prejudice.
Many studies have reported an existence of negative attitudes
with regard to mental health problem and social distance
(Henderson et al., 2013). This is because those persons with
mental problem are regarded as dangerous, a public nuisance
and aggressive. Some of the contributing factors include the
media which influences the society’s view, public perception
which is influenced by the level of understanding towards
mental health problems and the illness itself and also reluctance
to seek help which contribute to further stigmatization. Stigma
is therefore seen as barrier since it inhibits a person from
seeking help hence resulting to a treatment gap and
advancement in medical programs meant to reduce cases of
medical care (Szeto et al., 2017). Therefore, mental health-
related stigma is seen to influence help seeking by those
mentally ill.3. EBP Model
The EBP study will rely on the IOWA model that was developed
by the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in 1990s. The
EBP study will incorporate five steps of the IOWA model. The
steps include evidence retrieval, grading of evidence, the
development of an EBP standard and the actual implementation
of EBP and the evaluation of the whole process.
Evidence retrieval will involve the reviewing of journal articles
that have evidence that support the change that is to be
proposed in the EBP project. Grading of evidence will involve
scrutinizing and rating the evidence that exists in support of the
proposed evidence-based proposal. In terms of developing an
EBP standards, the success of the propose change will be used
as a measure. The actual implementation of the EBP will be in
reference to the proposed change whereas the evaluation of the
EBP will be based on the success rate of the proposed change in
reducing the stigma around mental health complications.4.
Proposed Change
The proposed change is that mental illness and complications to
6. be equated to other common illnesses. As it stands, mental
health complications are considered to be more severe than
other diseases or health complications. Despite mental
challenges and complications being highly rated, their possible
effects on the human body are not as severe in comparison to
other health complications. For example, tuberculosis and
malaria cause more deaths than all mental health conditions
combined. Despite tuberculosis and malaria being bigger killers,
the stigmatization around both diseases is not as bad as the
stigmatization that is around mental health complications.
By having mental health complications equated as other
common illnesses it will be possible to break the stereotype or
misconception of mental health complications. By so doing, it
will be possible and easier for people to report to health centers
if they suspect their mental health. Ultimately, the proposed
change will lead to stigmatization around mental health
complications reducing if not ending.5. Outcomes
There are three possible outcomes that may result from
implementing the propose change. For starters, the stigma
around mental health will be done away with or reduced. This
outcome will be achieved if the results of the evidence-based
practice support stigma around mental health being done away
with or being reduced. Secondly, there will not be any changes
as concerns the stigma around mental health. The second
outcome is likely to happen if the proposed change does not
necessitate change around mental health stigmatization. Lastly,
the stigma around mental health will increase. By implementing
the proposed change, the researchers expect that the stigma
around mental health will be reduced if not done away with.6.
Evaluation Plan
The proposed plan will be evaluated main ways. The proposed
plan will be evaluated through monitoring the number of people
that seek medical assistance for mental health complications
after the proposed change has been implemented. An increase in
7. the number will signify that the proposed change is effective at
reducing if not doing away with the stigmatization that is
around mental health complications. A decline in the average
number of patients that seek medical assistance for mental
health complications will signify that the proposed change is
not effective at doing away with the stigma that is around
mental health complications.7. Dissemination Plan
There are seven journal articles that will be studied and
rationalized with the aim of supporting the proposed evidence-
based change. The seven articles, all touch on the stigma around
mental health. The articles as well list the methods that have
been tried on in terms of reducing stigma around mental health
complications. All the identified journal articles are recent in
terms of publication; they were published in the last five years.
The articles will provide evidence that supports why the
proposed change will be effective at reducing and eventually
doing away with the stigma around mental health
challengeTools to be Used
Peer reviewing of articles is an important duty for two main
reasons. First, it ensures only valid articles are published
thereby reducing inaccurate studies or forged findings.
Secondly, it facilitates the sharing of information that can
enhance studies and findings before they are published. There
are various peer-reviewing techniques for evidence-based
practices, however, the two most common are the use of surveys
and the use of questionnaires.
Peer review tools for the proposal
Surveys are easy to conduct and require little to nil expertise
(Atkinson et al., 2017). The technique will be crucial when
reviewing literature for the study as it will make it possible for
the research team to collect as much information as they want
without going into the details of the articles that are under
8. review. The method will be used to interview other researchers
who have written on the same topic. The interview process will
allow the researchers to gather as much information as possible
as to what the researchers think of the study topic; the validity
of the topic. It will also allow the researchers to gather
information on how they can improve the study.
The research team will also use the method to collect
information from other researchers who have interacted or come
into contact with publications similar to the proposed research
topic. Throughout carrying out studies, researchers came into
contact with data or information that does not concern what
they are studying. By having sit-downs with other researchers,
it will be possible for the research team to tap from such
researchers and get ways to ensure that the study findings are
relevant.
The second peer-reviewing technique that will be used is the
use of questionnaires. The majority of times in evidence-based
practice, researchers utilize questionnaires since they utilize the
qualitative approach. Questionnaires allow researchers to gather
information from their study subjects as well as from non-
participants of studies (Panczyk et al., 2017). Two of the main
reasons as to why the researchers will use the questionnaire
peer review tool are that it will cut on costs and that it is simple
to administer. The team plans to use the questionnaire technique
to gather as much information from their peers on what they
think of the subject topic and the details of the topic. Also, it
will be possible for the researchers if there is previous literature
that concerns the study based on the response on the
questionnaires. Previous literature will help in the collection of
information that can validate the proposed study.
Peer reviewing is an important aspect of validating studies and
their findings. It allows other researchers or students to
scrutinize an article before it is published. It helps in the
9. validation of studies. For the proposed EBP, survey and
questionnaire peer review tools will be used to help in
validating the studies. The two methods are effective as they are
simple and cheap to administer. It will be possible to gather
information on how the research can be improved as well as
gather information on what people think of the study topic.
Grant Request
The research team is looking to get a grant of $5000 to aid in its
EBP. The details of the amount proposed are as below
Proposed Tasks
If the proposal is approved, it will be possible to perform three
main tasks. The three tasks will help in the implementation of
the proposed change.
Task 1: Case study- Reviewing existing literature on stigma
around mental health complications
The first part of the study will involve going through existing
literature on stigma around mental health complications. The
sources that will be reviewed are seven in total. Task 1 will take
a month and will be conducted by 5 researchers.
Task 2: Interviewing clinicians that have dealt with the study
topic
The second task will have the research team clinicians that have
dealt with the study topic. The clinicians will share what they
stigma and mental health complications and this will help shed
light on what caused the stigma. The interview task will
approximately take three weeks. The interview process will be
conducted by three researchers
Task 3: Interviewing patients of mental health
The last task will involve the research team visiting and
10. interviewing patients of mental health. The research team will
observe how the patients respond to questions that concern their
mental health and stigma around mental health. Five researchers
will be charged with handling task 3. It is expected that the task
will take a week.

“What is the association between stigma towards mental health
patients and help-seeking?”
Survey
Multi-stage Cluster sampling
The number of participants was 728 from Belgium. They were
selected randomly based on the number of inhabitants using the
multistage clustering method.
Interviews that were based on face to face interactions and
computer-assisted were used. The sampling design ensured the
17. participants selected were a representation of the whole
population under study which ensured validity. Also, validated
instruments were used to measure the variables which
facilitated validity.
488 respondents said that those who use former service are
looked upon by others while 357 agreed that most people
perceive receiving psychiatric treatment as a personal failure.
Therefore, the respondents with a higher level of self-stigma
perceive care provided by professionals as less important while
those with high levels of public stigma attached less importance
to informal help-seeking. Gender, ethnicity and
sociodemographic characteristics were seen to have a less
significant impact on help-seeking attitudes, and is supported by
(Subramaniam, 2018) who states that less preference to seek
informal help is associated with the ability to recognize a
mental illness correctly. Multiple linear regression models and
logarithmic transformation were used to assess distribution.
The study was limited by the insufficient amount of empirical
research, hence inadequate literature to aid in carrying out the
research, such as the role of aesthetic environment in patient’s
well-being, which provides better knowledge about the
relevance of the patient’s room in healing. Also, one of the
limitations is that it restricted the interpretation of the causal-
effect relationship. Secondly, the study was based on help-
seeking attitudes rather than help-seeking behavior which
limited the study scope hence creating a bias towards other
confounding factors. The limited number of participants affects
the ecological generalizability of the findings, especially in
larger sample sizes.
(Timmermann, Uhrenfeldt & Birkelund, 2014).
“How seriously ill hospitalized patients’ experience and assign
meaning to their patient room?”
Cross-sectional
18. Survey
The study focused on a sample size of nine (9) patients is three
Swedish hospitals.
The instrument used- questionnaire – is standardizes the data
collection process, which in turn validates the process by
measuring what was purported to measure. Also, the instrument
is highly reliable because it incorporates researcher
participation, thus giving it the confidence, it deserves as a data
collection instrument.
The study findings showed that viewing natural light in
patient’s room promotes positive thought for critically ill
patients (Timmermann et al., 2014). Other literature has
identified other related themes such as enhancing positive
thought by overriding negative ones, promoting hope and a
positive mood, and helps in bringing good memories.
Essentially, being admitted in the ICU deprives patients of the
freedom to go outside and experience the natural environment.
However, there are different other methods of experiencing this
when hospitalized. This could be an ambient light from a glass
windows, and doors that let in fresh air. Also, the chair can be
placed strategically next to the window so that the patient can
have an unhindered view of the outside environment.
The study was limited by the insufficient amount of empirical
research, hence inadequate literature to aid in carrying out the
research, such as the role of aesthetic environment in patient’s
well-being, which provides better knowledge about the
relevance of patient’s room in healing. Also, the limited number
of participants affects the ecological generalizability of the
findings, especially in larger sample sizes.
(Schnyder et al.,2017)
19. “What is the association between stigma towards mental health
patients and help-seeking?”
Meta-analysis and systematic review
Cross-sectional, longitudinal or quantitative surveys
Three electronic databases were searched to ensure the
eligibility and relevance of the topic. All the studies that met
the search criteria were screened to assess eligibility. A total of
27 studies were used having 31677 participants from the age of
fifteen.
The electronic databases used include PsycINFO, EMBASE, and
PubMed. These instruments ensured that information acquired is
peer-reviewed hence reliable and also multiple studies adopted
since 1990 were used to ensure validity by comparing their
information.
27 studies ensured the eligibility criteria were met. The
involved participants were seen to have a negative attitude
towards help-seeking. There stigmatizing attitudes towards
those with mental problems showed an association with less
active help-seeking. The main outcome was odd ratio which was
calculated to assess the impact of stigma on seeking help the
confidence interval was 95%. This is supported by Zartaloudi &
Madianos, 2010) who agreed that a stigma that is greater is
correlated negatively with a favorable attitude toward seeking
help.
The first limitation was based on missing some important
studies due to publication bias. Secondly, there was less
information about the exact operationalization of the stigma
measures in the undertaken analysis.
(Al Saif et al., 2019)
20. “To what degree does stigma constitute a barrier to the search
for help among mental health patients?”
survey
Cross-sectional
385 participated in the study. A convenience sampling method
that was carried out in two stages was used to select the
participants.
A self-report questionnaire was used. The validity of the study
was somehow affected by the type of sampling method used.
However, to ensure reliability, a review of other sources was
done.
The participants showed different stigma attitudes with regard
to the working environment. Those who embrace EBP had less
stigma towards those with mental illness.
The study was affected by the large general population of health
care providers.

“Are there populations that are more deterred from seeking help
due to stigma?”
survey
Systematic review
22 relevant studies were chosen. The sample size ranged from 3
to 3746
Three electronic databases were searched, and the data varied
between September-October 2009. The study was reliable and
valid.
Young people were seen to be the most to avoid help-seeking
due to stigma.
The strategy used to search maybe did not capture all the
relevant studies. Also, only 1 researcher coded facilitators and
21. barriers into themes and hence prone to biases.
