Mediating mental health: an integrated approach to investigating media and social actors

这个项目增进了关于媒体如何塑造公众和专业人士对精神健康问题的理解和沟通做法的知识。媒体过程大多是孤立地研究的，但这个项目结合了对媒体的分析与对非专业人士、倡导组织、专家心理健康来源和记者的采访，以确定如何识别、解释和传播心理健康知识。它将在数字媒体环境和媒体使用动态变化的背景下，为旨在促进心理健康和挑战污名的政策提供证据基础。

This project advances knowledge about how the media shapes public and professional understandings and communication practices about mental health issues. Media processes are mostly studied in isolation but this project integrates analyses of media with interviews with lay people, advocacy organisations, expert mental health sources and journalists to identify how mental health knowledge is identified, interpreted and communicated. It will provide an evidence base for policy directed at promoting mental health and challenging stigma, within the context of dynamic change to digital media environments and media use.
