“…Typically, children and families from South Asian communities are underrepresented among those referred and/or attending compared with the local populations (Stern et al, 1990;Kramer et al, 2000;Lamb et al, 2002;Messent & Murrell, 2003;Shah et al, 2004). Similarly, some studies have indicated that children and families from black Caribbean or black African communities are under-represented (Kramer et al, 2000;Daryanani et al, 2001).…”

“…There were mixed findings relating to mental health knowledge of parents and caregivers with studies highlighting strengths and gaps in knowledge. Five cross-sectional studies examined parents' recognition of mental health disorders symptoms (Bonfield, Guishard-Pine, & Langdon, 2010;Frauenholtz, Conrad Hiebner, & Mendenhall, 2015;Lawrence et al, 2015;Shah et al, 2004). In one study, mothers had high problem recognition accuracy with 91.0% correctly identifying a mental health problem from a depression vignette, and 84.0% from an anxiety vignette (Shah et al, 2004).…”

Similarly, 86.0% of foster carers were able to accurately recognise a mental health problem from a vignette (Bonfield, Guishard-Pine, & Langdon, 2010) but this was not associated with their ability to detect a mental health problem in their child.…”

2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. This study aimed to systematically review the current body of research on parent and caregiver mental health literacy. Electronic databases were searched in January 2018 with 21 studies meeting inclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis of quantitative and qualitative studies was conducted. Findings across studies suggest that parents and caregivers had limited mental health knowledge. Factors associated with help-seeking included cultural and religious beliefs, financial and knowledge barriers, fear and mistrust of treatment services, and stigma. Notable limitations include non-representative samples, cross-sectional research designs, and use of inconsistent and non-validated study measures. Research would benefit from more diverse samples, an increased focus on prevention, and controlled trials of educational programmes targeting mental health literacy.

“…Studies across different countries have shown that low-income countries give higher credence to sociological factors rather than biological factors as basis for the aetiology of schizophrenia 10 11. Also, it has been found that the likelihood of seeking professional help for mental illness is lower in individuals from low-income countries compared with individuals from high-income countries 12. Evidence from high-income countries has shown that social contact between people with and without the experience of mental illness13 and educational interventions6 is the most effective intervention for reducing stigmatisation in adults and young people, respectively.…”

ObjectiveThis study sought to assess knowledge of schizophrenia and help-seeking behaviour among undergraduate students of a Nigerian university. Sociodemographic predictors of correct recognition were also explored.DesignThe study was a cross-sectional descriptive survey.SettingThe study was carried out at the University of Nigeria, a pioneer university located in Southeastern Nigeria.ParticipantsUndergraduate students of the University of Nigeria.MethodsAll consenting male and female students of three purposively selected faculties were recruited for the study. Self-administered vignette-based questionnaires were distributed to students of the selected faculties between September and November 2018. Data were analysed using the IBM Statistical Product and Services Solution for Windows V.21.0.ResultsOut of the 400 questionnaires that were distributed, 389 were completed and returned (97.3% response rate). Respondents were mainly female (64.9%, n=252) and were between the ages of 18 and 24 years (75.8%, n=294). One in eight respondents (12.1%, n=47) correctly identified and labelled the schizophrenia vignette. Hallucination was the most identified symptom of distress for schizophrenia (47.9%, n=186). The most common alternative label for schizophrenia was ‘mental illness’ (24.7%, n=96). Schizophrenia was also mislabelled as depression (11.6%, n=45). More than a 10th of the respondents used stigmatising labels such as ‘crazy’ and ‘mad’ (11.1%, n=43). Psychiatrists were the most recommended source of help for the vignette character (36.3%, n=141). There was a strong association between the faculty of study and the ability to correctly identify and label the schizophrenia vignette (χ2=44.557, p<0.001).ConclusionMental health literacy among students of the University of Nigeria was poor. Research on culturally sensitive interventions to improve mental health literacy should be embarked on.
