摘要

Objectives. We examined how attitudes toward mental illness treatment and its course differ by serious psychological distress, mental illness treatment, chronic disease, and sociodemographic factors using representative state-based data. Methods. Using data from jurisdictions supporting the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System’s Mental Illness and Stigma Module (35 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico), we compared adjusted proportions of adults agreeing that “Treatment can help people with mental illness lead normal lives” (treatment effectiveness) and that “People are generally caring and sympathetic to people with mental illness” (supportive environment), by demographic characteristics, serious psychological distress, chronic disease status, and mental illness treatment. Results. Attitudes regarding treatment effectiveness and a supportive environment for people with mental illness varied within and between groups. Most adults receiving mental illness treatment agreed that treatment is effective. Fewer adults with serious psychological distress than those without such distress agreed that treatment is effective. Fewer of those receiving treatment, those with psychological distress, and those with chronic disease perceived the environment as supportive. Conclusions. These data can be used to target interventions for population subgroups with less favorable attitudes and for surveillance. In the past decade, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) population surveys and health information systems have expanded content on mental illness in recognition of its growing public health burden. 1 For example, since 2006, the state-based Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) has provided state and local estimates of mental illness with 2 modules developed by the CDC and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA). The BRFSS Mental Illness and Stigma Module was developed in 2005 to obtain state-level estimates of serious psychological distress and attitudes toward mental illness. 2,3 Its development followed recommendations from the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health and the 2005 Federal Action Agenda, Transforming Mental Health, which highlighted the need to “encourage help-seeking behaviors across the age span” and “make clear that recovery is possible” as a way to improve the acceptance and social inclusion of people with mental illness. 4,5 (p24) These recommendations, in part, also guided the development and release of SAMHSA’s campaign, What a Difference a Friend Makes, launched in 2006 to improve support for young adults with mental illness. 6 In support of this campaign, SAMHSA and the CDC identified relevant questions to assess public attitudes toward treatment effectiveness, attitudes about supportive behaviors toward people with mental illness, and experience with mental illness symptoms and mental illness treatment. 2,3 The CDC partnered with states in 2007 and 2009 to examine attitudes toward mental illness on the state-based BRFSS. Previous studies have described general findings. 2,3 Additionally, several state public health and mental health agencies have generated public reports with their data, demonstrating their value for the development and evaluation of mental health programs. 7–9 We aimed to expand previous studies by using BRFSS Mental Illness and Stigma data from 2 years (1) to examine attitudes toward mental illness among those with serious psychological distress, those with selected chronic diseases, and those reporting receipt of mental illness treatment compared with those without these conditions and those not in treatment, and (2) to identify disparities in these attitudes among different subgroups. Although these limited BRFSS surveillance data may be used to advance research questions to augment the theoretical understanding of stigma, this is beyond the scope of the current study.
