“…This heterogenous population encounters systemic ageism and stigma towards mental health and mental illness [12][13][14] which is reinforced when these conditions interact with the inequities and system challenges described above. 15 A 2020 systematic review found providers were less likely to offer support, care and treatment to older patients in comparison to younger patients in 85% of the 149 included studies on healthcare access. 16 This was true even when people in either age group were equally likely to benefit.…”

IntroductionThe mental health of ageing Canadians is a growing concern, particularly post-pandemic. Older adults face systemic ageism and mental health stigma as pervasive barriers to seeking needed mental health support, care and treatment within health and social care systems. These barriers are exacerbated when service providers focus on physical healthcare needs or lack the skills and confidence to talk about and/or address mental health during routine visits. This study aims to co-design and test an evidence-based approach to mental health conversations at the point-of-care in home and community settings with older adults, family and friend caregivers and health and social care providers that could facilitate help-seeking activities and care access.Methods and analysisA participatory mixed-methods study design will be applied, guided by a Working Group of experts-by-experience (n=30). Phase 1 engages ageing Canadians in four online workshops (n=60) and a national survey (n=1000) to adapt an evidence-based visual model of mental health for use with older adults in home and community care. Phase 2 includes six co-design workshops with community providers (n=90) in rural and urban sites across three Canadian provinces to co-design tools, resources and processes for enabling the use of the adapted model as a conversation guide. Phase 3 involves pilot and feasibility testing the co-designed conversations with older adult clients of providers from Phase 2 (n=180).Ethics and disseminationPhases 1 and 2 of this study have received ethics clearance at the University of Waterloo (ORE #44187), University of British Columbia (#H22-02306) and St. Francis Xavier University (#26075). While an overview of Phase 3 is included, details will rely on Phase 2 outcomes. Knowledge mobilisation activities will include peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, webinars, newsletters, infographics and policy briefs. Interested audiences may include community organisations, policy and decision-makers and health and social care providers.

“…The study is based on the Health belief model which has been used to study vaccination behavior extensively [21] , [22] . According to the Health Belief Model, a person’s decision to engage in a particular health behavior is determined by their perceived susceptibility to the illness in question, their perceived severity of the illness, the perceived benefits of adopting the health behavior, and perceived barriers to adopting the health behavior [23] .…”

“…In the same vein, individuals who believe they are less likely to contract a particular disease are more likely to engage in risky and unhealthy behaviors. Further, individuals who perceive the disease to be severe, perceive the health behavior to be beneficial, and also perceive fewer barriers to adopting the health behavior are more likely to adopt the said health behavior [23] .…”

“…From a theoretical point, there is a direct relationship between the HBM variables (perceived susceptibility to COVID-19, perceived severity of COVID-19, perceived benefits of the vaccine, and perceived barriers to getting vaccinated) and the health action, that is the decision to accept the COVID-19 vaccine or not [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] . There is also a direct relationship between the social histories, geography, conspiracy theories, and perceived risks of the vaccine on the health action [24] , [25] , [43] , [44] .…”

Photo elicitation is a powerful data collection tool that involves using photographs within an interview encounter to articulate, expand on and uncover experiences of the social world. Between 2020 and 2022, 41 Muslim immigrant older women between the ages of 54 and 85 were recruited via community liaisons in an Urban Canadian setting to participate in a qualitative descriptive photo elicitation study on social connectedness. We explore methodological and ethical considerations of using photo elicitation in narrative interviews with Muslim older women with a focus on: (1) selection and access to photographs, (2) informed consent, (3) shared meaning-making, (4) politics of a photograph, and (5) digital opportunities within a pandemic. The discussion highlights the ways gender, age and religion intersect to influence decision-making during research activities.
