Title: | Stigma, attitudes, and help-seeking intentions for psychological problems in relation to regional suicide rates | Authors: | Reynders, Alexandre Kerkhof, Ad J.F.M. MOLENBERGHS, Geert Van Audenhouve, Chantal |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | SUICIDE AND LIFE-THREATENING BEHAVIOR 46(1), p. 67-78 | Abstract: | In this ecological study, we investigated whether help-seeking related to stigma, intentions, and attitudes toward suicide are associated with the suicide rates of 20 regions within the Netherlands and Belgium. Significant associations were found between regional suicide rates and the intention to seek informal help (β = −1.47, p = .001), self-stigma (β = 1.33, p = .038), and shame (β = .71, p = .030). The association between self-stigma and suicide rate was mediated by intentions to seek informal help. These results suggest that to promote suicide prevention at the level of the regional population, stigma, shame, and intentions to seek help should be targeted in the public domain. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/20857 | ISSN: | 0363-0234 | e-ISSN: | 1943-278X | DOI: | 10.1111/sltb.12179 | ISI #: | 000370136200007 | Rights: | © 2015 The American Association of Suicidology | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2017 |
