“…Greater conformity to masculine norms was also significantly associated with lower recommendations to seek help and to seek help from professional sources, but were significantly associated with stronger recommendations to self-help. In broad outline, these findings are consistent with previous findings suggesting that conformity to masculine norms are negatively associated with help-seeking attitudes for mental health (Clark et al, 2020;Hammer et al, 2013;McDermott et al, 2018;Seidler et al, 2016;Vogel et al, 2011;Wong et al, 2017) and more negative attitudes toward psychiatric services (Berger et al, 2013). It should be noted, however, that effect sizes in the present study were relatively weak.…”

The study of mental health literacy is well-developed, but the basic methodology used in this research (i.e., the use of text-based vignettes) has not changed substantively in over two decades of work. Here, we developed novel filmed disclosures to re-assess mental health literacy of depression in a preregistered study utilising a randomised, fully within-subjects design. A total of 405 adults from Austria (57% women, age M = 32.5 years) viewed short (~3 min) filmed disclosures by a female or male target and were asked to report if they thought anything was wrong with the targets and, if so, to describe what they thought was wrong. Participants also rated the targets on a range of attitudinal dimensions and completed measures of conformity to masculine norms and expressivity. The majority of participants (93.8%) correctly identified that something was wrong with the targets and, of those that did, the majority (69.2%) correctly described cases of depression. Neither target nor participant gender significantly influenced symptom recognition. Gendered effects were also largely null in terms of perceived distress, treatment difficulty, sympathy, and likelihood of recommending help for the targets, and both conformity to masculine norms and expressivity had minimal impact on attitudinal dimensions. These results highlight the potential utility of filmed disclosures in the study of mental health literacy and suggest that gendered effects reported in previous studies may be an artefact of the use of text-based vignettes.

“…Many studies emphasized on the importance of learners' mental health literacy (Skre et al, 2013;Mcluckie et al, 2014;Lanfredi et al, 2019;Mamun et al, 2020;Clark et al, 2020). Middle school and a high school teachers interact with more tahan 100 students perday.…”

School is a protective factor to improve and promote mental health. Many mental health problems are experienced by school learners. From various interactions with the learners, teachers are expected capable to prevent and identify school learners' mental health problems. Although the human-teacher sources are high, they are not completely used to support learners' mental health problems. This research aims to find out the mental health literacy operational definition and the urgency of the mental health literacy of the teachers. This research applied for a systematic literature review from five search engines. They were Spingerlink, Science Direct, Jstor, Eric, and Pubmed. The applied keywords were "mental health literacy", "school", and "teacher". The taken references are from 1997 -2020. Six hundred and thirty-three articles were obtained from five search engines. From the systematic review, seven articles were obtained. An expanding concept of mental health definition was found from the initial concept proposed by Jorm. Clear concept definition influenced the measurement. Teachers must be aware of mental health literacy because they are the first lines to identify mental health problems of the learners, mostly found in 12 -25 years-old learners. Low teacher literacy at school about mental health problems experienced by learners led to serious impacts for them.

“…Yet, while the majority of these data focus on the pain experience among women, there remains a gap in how pain is perceived and experienced among men, particularly those from diverse race and ethnic populations [10]. Compared to women, men are less likely to report pain complaints to their primary care physicians and are more likely to withhold pain complaints [11,12]. These behaviors are further promoted when acknowledging "traditional" gender roles and beliefs moderating pain, health outcomes, and other symptomatic tolerances [13].…”

Background and objective: The health of Black men continues to be a discussion of public health concern. To address this concern, this exploratory study aimed to assess Black men's willingness and preferences for participating in tailored pain and/or disease self-management programs. Materials and Methods: Three program designs were presented, with varying delivery modalities. Participants responded to a series of questions regarding the content and form of program implementation. A total of 75 Black men, with an average age of 57 (SD = 14.8) years, were included for study participation. Results: Responses to a set of closed- and open-ended questions showed that less than one-third (29.3%) had never heard of chronic disease self-management programs, with another 77.3% never participating in a self-management program. Overall, the majority of the men preferred receiving health information from books (73.3%) or brochures (74.7%). Few (15.0%) preferred receiving health advice from family. More than one-third however, preferred receiving information from friends (38.7%) or a religious leader (33.3%). Conclusion: Results from this study contribute to our understanding of how more effective programming and systems tailored to the health needs of this gendered population is needed in order to promote safe and cost-effective approaches to prevention and treatment efforts.
