“…This could also enable major cultural shifts in stigmatizing attitudes and beliefs in the community. For example, a recent article proposed offering strengths‐based and empowerment‐focused interventions from near‐peer, paraprofessionals at community‐based organizations as a more equitable and non‐stigmatizing approach for Latinx immigrant families (Rusch et al., 2020).…”

Stigma is integral to understanding mental health disparities among racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States. We conducted a systematic review to identify empirical studies on cultural aspects of mental illness stigma (public, structural, affiliative, self) among three racial and ethnic minority groups (Asian Americans, Black Americans, Latinx Americans) from 1990 to 2019, yielding 97 articles. In comparison studies (N = 25), racial and ethnic minority groups often expressed greater public and/or self‐stigma than White American groups. In within‐group studies (N = 65; Asian American, n = 21; Black American, n = 18; Latinx American; n = 26), which were primarily qualitative (73%), four major cultural themes emerged: 1) service barriers including access and quality (structural stigma); 2) family experiences including concealment for family’s sake, fear of being a burden, and stigma extending to family (affiliative stigma); 3) lack of knowledge about mental illness and specific cultural beliefs (public stigma); and 4) negative emotional responses and coping (self‐stigma). These findings confirmed stigma has both similar and unique cultural aspects across groups. Despite this, few studies tested stigma reduction interventions (N = 7). These cultural insights can inform contextual change at the health systems and community levels to reduce stigma, and empowerment at the interpersonal and individual levels to resist stigma.

“…Another article by Valentín‐Cortés et al (2020) applies the Minority Stress Theory and CBPR to examine the immigrant‐related stressors of Latinx undocumented communities and inform the development of interventions addressing their mental health needs. A third article by Rusch, Walden, and DeCarlo Santiago (2020) focuses on improving mental health support for Latinx immigrant communities and underscores the significance of leveraging resources of Community‐Based Organizations (CBOs) to empower parents and families to be advocates of their own well‐being. Disparities experienced by other ethnic groups are also explored in this special issue.…”

This special issue highlights work that contributes to our understanding of health disparities and community‐based participatory research (CBPR) approaches to promoting health equity across diverse populations and issues that matter to communities. We take on a global perspective, and thus, various efforts across international contexts are illustrated. Articles elucidate a variety of CBPR approaches designed to empower and build capacity among individuals and communities in order to seek changes at the level of community practices, programs, and systems. These articles span across diverse populations—children, youth, and families; adults and older adults; immigrants; refugees; Black people; Latinx people; Native Americans/Indigenous people, the Roma community; Muslim women, and women with disabilities—experiencing inequities of interest to community psychologists and other researchers and practitioners.

“…Yet the evidence from other fields tells us there is rarely such a thing, and deep change often comes at the community level, where people can discuss, deliberate, challenge, question, reconsider and converse about matters at length with trusted others, or at least with people they understand and are mutually co-invested in. Social change is connected to a sense of self-efficacy, which on political matters means addressing the profound disenfranchisement and a lack of social power many people face, often from years or centuries of marginalisation, exploitation and oppression [Hardina, 2006;Rusch, Walden and DeCarlo Santiago, 2020]. The detail of such matters is best addressed at the community level, even if changing structural oppression also requires action at the broader level of the nation state.…”

Communities are rarely seen as the ideal level at which to focus science communication efforts, compared to the individual, psychological or mass, societal levels. Yet evidence from allied fields suggests building interpersonal relationships with specific communities over time is key to meaningful engagement, so orienting science communication towards communities is warranted. In this paper, we argue this case. We review previous studies, identifying three existing models of community-oriented science communication, which we label ‘neighbourly’, ‘problem-solving’ and ‘brokering’. We illustrate the effectiveness of the ‘problem-solving’ approach and the desirable ideal of ‘brokering’ using recent examples of community-oriented science communication from Australia.
