黑人个人对精神疾病和心理健康治疗的负面看法比白人更多，这种态度与黑人人口对心理健康服务的利用不足有关。心理教育干预或材料可能是解决黑人成年人心理健康治疗态度障碍的一种方式，但前提是心理教育内容与他们的信仰和关切直接相关。这篇文章记录了为考虑心理健康治疗的黑人成年人开发一本消费者衍生的心理教育手册的过程。黑人心理健康消费者通过对他们的经历进行定性采访，为手册提供内容，然后在手册开发后提供反馈。这个项目的结果表明，让消费者参与的战略是开发心理教育材料的可行方法，这些材料解决了服务不足人群中的治疗障碍。
Black individuals hold more negative views of mental illness and mental health treatment than do Whites, attitudes that are implicated in the underutilization of mental health services by Black populations. Psychoeducational interventions or materials may be one way to address attitudinal barriers to mental health treatment among Black adults, but only if the psychoeducational content is directly relevant to their beliefs and concerns. This article documents the process of developing a consumer-derived psychoeducational booklet for Black adults contemplating mental health treatment. Black mental health consumers provided the content for the booklet through qualitative interviews about their experiences and then provided feedback once it was developed. Results from this project suggest that the strategy of involving consumers is a feasible approach to develop psychoeducational materials that address treatment barriers in underserved populations.
