Self-stigma among people with serious mental illnesses: The use of focus groups to inform the development of a brief video intervention.
Article in Psychiatric rehabilitation journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivePeople with mental illnesses may avoid or delay treatment due to a fear of labeling and discrimination, a phenomenon known as self-stigma. Self-stigma is a major barrier to care and creates obstacles to pursuing employment, independent living, and a fulfilling social life. We aimed to gather input from people with lived experience of mental illness to develop a social-contact-based, brief video-based intervention to reduce self-stigma.

resultsThemes emerging in prevideo development included the negative effects of being diagnosed with severe mental illnesses, being stereotyped, the value of relatable recovery stories and seeing the person as a whole, and the utility of focusing on symptoms and experiences rather than diagnosis-specific language. Feedback in the postvideo focus groups was mainly favorable and resulted in edits related to language about "responsibility" and a disclaimer about using a professional actor. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: While participants' experiences of stigma are consistent with extant literature, this is the first study to elicit the perspectives of people living with mental illnesses in developing a video intervention to reduce self-stigma. Studies are needed to examine the efficacy of these videos in reducing self/public stigma. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
