Ten Strategic Points
1. Topic
A case study of how receiving mental health is shunned upon in the African American
Community and considered a taboo, unless receiving compensation.
2. Literature review a. Background of the problem/gap:
i.
Prior studies which show minority groups in the United States, especially
blacks receive less mental health services as compared to whites (Broman,
2012).
ii.
According to Conner et al. (2010), African Americans were more likely to
internalize stigma in addition to endorsing less positive attitudes towards
seeking mental health compared to the whites.
iii.
The study which was conducted to assess the impact of stigma and race on
mental health among adults with depression showed that perception of the
stigma among African Americans was the key barrier to health seeking
behaviors for mental health patients (Gary, 2005).
b. Theoretical Foundations (models and theories to be foundation for study);
According to Gary (2005), in addition to stigmatization and wrong perception in seeking
mental services among African American, ethnic minorities face discrimination and
prejudice when it comes to this subject which is a double tragedy. For this reason, Gary
(2005) explains that the potential of facing stigma and discrimination is a major factor
that limits the people who wish to receive this essential service. Gary (2005) elaborates
why stigma is the main reason why African Americans find it difficult seeking mental
health treatment.
c. Review of literature topics with key theme for each one;
i.
Historical Events: Historically, there have been stigmas attached to the African
American Society to make them appear as a weaker race. Stigmatization and
Discrimination from the past may explain the conformity that occurs in seeking
mental help among people of color.
ii.
National Security: Today’s need for good mental health is critical for growth and
development of every individual.
iii.
Global Literacy: There are many highly qualified mental health professionals
that could break the stigma and attitude on the perception of getting mental health
help makes you appear a weaker individual.
iv.
Cognitive Development: Empirical research shows that stigmatization and
discrimination are the keys why people of color will not seek mental help.
v.
Qualitative Case Study Design: Prior studies on this program have been done
through interviews and observations. Further interviews with all classes of
African American will uncover a deeper understanding.
d. Summary.
i.
Understanding the stigma and the cause.
ii.
Learning the main background of such stigmas. iii.
iv. 3. Studying the behavior that conducts the impact of the stigma
Interviews and Questioners are idea for understanding the reason for such lack of
mental health help. Problem Statement
