当人们对患有精神疾病或接受精神健康治疗的人有消极的想法和信念时，就会出现精神健康耻辱。心理健康污名与各种负面结果有关，包括住房和就业方面的歧视、心理健康服务的使用减少以及心理健康结果不佳。这些影响对于已经遭受其他类型歧视的非裔美国人和拉丁美洲人等少数民族来说可能尤其突出。本研究对来自非传统大学的非裔美国人和拉丁裔大学生的感知和个人心理健康耻辱感进行了调查，以帮助阐明心理健康耻辱感发展的相关因素。学生们完成了关于他们的耻辱信念的调查。研究发现，非裔美国学生比拉丁裔学生有更高的心理健康耻辱感。此外，对精神疾病患者的焦虑与两组更大的精神健康耻辱感有关。对于非裔美国人来说，研究发现，他们认为自己有能力明显识别出患有精神疾病的人，这与更大的精神健康耻辱感有关。这些发现表明，减少大学生心理健康耻辱感的干预措施应该针对特定的少数民族群体，并关注这些群体特别突出的问题。
Mental health stigma occurs when people have negative thoughts and beliefs of those with mental health illnesses or mental health treatment. Mental health stigma is related to an assortment of negative outcomes including discrimination in housing and employment, reduced usage of mental health services, and poor mental health outcomes. These implications may be particularly salient for ethnic minorities such as African Americans and Latinos who already suffer from other types of discrimination. This study examines perceived and personal mental health stigma in African American and Latino college students from a nontraditional university to help elucidate factors related to the development of mental health stigma. Students completed surveys concerning their stigma beliefs. African American students were found to have higher rates of mental health stigma than Latino students. Furthermore, anxiety about those with mental illness was related to greater mental health stigma for both groups. For African Americans, it was found that their perception of their ability to visibly identify those with mental illness was related to greater mental health stigma. These findings suggest that interventions to reduce mental health stigma in college students should target specific ethnic minority groups and focus on issues that are particularly salient to those communities.
