AQ

Description

The AQ (Corrigan et al., 2004) is a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess attitudes, affects and behavioral intentions related to a hypothetical person diagnosed with schizophrenia, called “Harry.” The questionnaire starts with a short statement about “Harry,” a 30-year-old single man who works as a clerk in a law firm and who has been hospitalized for schizophrenia. After reading the statement, respondents rated how much they agree with each of the different items made about “Harry” on a nine-point Likert scale that ranges from 1 (not at all) to 9 (very much). Items of the original AQ are divided into the following nine different factors, namely, responsibility, anger, pity, help, dangerousness, fear, avoidance, segregation and coercion. The AQ-21 is a shorter version, which omits terms for segregation and coercion, which have not been supported in other cross-cultural validations (Corrigan et al., 2004; Mun˜oz et al., 2015; Pingani et al., 2011). Scores for each factor are determined by summing items with a sub-score ranging from 3 to 27. Items are reversed prior to summing up for help and avoidance factors. The higher the factor’s score, the more that factor is endorsed by the respondent. Two previous confirmatory factor analyzes were used to develop the AQ measurement model and they demonstrated an acceptable fit to the hypothetical paths accounting for stigmatizing reactions (Corrigan et al., 2002).

C-SSRS

Description

The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a questionnaire used for suicide assessment developed by multiple institutions, including Columbia University, with NIMH support. The scale is evidence-supported and is part of a national and international public health initiative involving the assessment of suicidality. Available in 103 different languages, the scale has been successfully implemented across many settings, including schools, college campuses, military, fire departments, the justice system, primary care and for scientific research. Several versions of the C-CCRS have been developed for clinical practice. The Risk Assessment version is three pages long, with the initial page focusing on a checklist of all risk and protective factors that may apply. This page is designed to be completed following the client (caller) interview. The next two pages make up the formal assessment. The C-SSRS Risk Assessment is intended to help establish a person’s immediate risk of suicide and is used in acute care settings. In order to make the C-SSRS Risk Assessment available to all Lifeline centers, the Lifeline collaborated with Kelly Posner, Ph.D., Director at the Center for Suicide Risk Assessment at Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute to slightly adjust the first checklist page to meet the Lifeline’s Risk Assessment Standards. The following components were added: helplessness, feeling trapped, and engaged with phone worker.

BACE

Description

the Barriers to Access to Care Evaluation (BACE) scale (Clement et al., 2012), which is one of the recent scales that assesses barriers toward seeking mental health care for people with mental health problems. The scale was developed at the Health Services and Population Research Department, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neurosciene, King’s College London, England. The scale is composed of 30 questions representing different barriers, 12 of which are directly related to stigma. Indeed, the BACE scale is appropriate for groups of people who have contacts with mental health-care services, those who have had contacts and stopped or those avoided to have contacts as they felt discouraged due to stigma (Clement et al., 2012). Responses to the questions should indicate whether each item has stopped, delayed or discouraged the patient from seeking or continuing mental health care by choosing one of the following answers: not at all, a little, quite a lot or a lot.

PPMI

Description

hat the Prejudice PPMI scale demonstrated a consistent 4-factor structure (fear/avoidance, malevolence, authoritarianism, &unpredictability) across three studies and in different cultural groups. Commonly used assessments of attitudes towards people with PPMI such as reported about PPMI(OMI) and Community Attitudes Toward the Mentally Ill (CAMI), did not have replicable structures. Therefore, the PPMI scale is valid by correlatingit with the CAMI scale [11] , the PPMI scale is shorter and improves psychometric characteristics [10]. Since prejudice instigma central component drives behavior, PPMI was avenue with mostly modifying for decrementing effects of those attitudes.

SHS-A

Description

he SHS-A, which is a four-item measure originally created by Lyubomirsky and Lepper, comprised the second part of the survey.4 The scale was developed based on a subjectivist approach to happiness and was employed to assess the subjective happiness of individuals from different age groups in various countries (i.e. USA and Russia). Two items in the scale examine individuals' ‘characterisation of themselves based on absolute ratings and ratings relative to their peers’. The remaining items identify whether the respondent is happy or unhappy and determine the extent to which the characterisations describe the respondent. A seven-point Likert scale is used for the responses. Item four must be reverse-coded before the scale score can be calculated. The mean score of the four items is calculated to obtain a single composite score of global subjective happiness. High scores indicate high levels of happiness. The tool's Cronbach's alphas were from 0.79 to 0.94, and its stability reliability was 0.72. Strong correlations were also observed between the scale and other happiness measures (r = 0.52–0.72), thereby implying satisfactory convergent validity.4 Permission to use the scale was given by Lyubomirsky (personal communication, March 18, 2019).

SOC-13

Description

SOC-13 is a 13-item self-report measure developed by [Antonovsky., 1993] from the longer SOC-29 scale to briefly assess the extent of emotional control. The SOC-13, given its strong psychometric properties, was used extensively in several settings. All items are answered on a 7-point Likert scale over a semantic differential scale with two extreme anchoring phrases. Five items (namely, items 1, 2, 3, 7, and 10) are reversed in scoring. The total score would, hence, range between 13 and 91. Low scores indicate low/weak sense of coherence, and high scores mean high/strong sense of coherence. There are 5 comprehensibility, 4 manageability, and 4 meaningfulness items, however, the scale gives a single score of sense of coherence. Example items for comprehensibility include, “Do you have the feeling that you are in an unfamiliar situation and don’t know what to do?’’ and “Does it happen that you have feelings inside you would rather not feel?”. Items identifying manageability include, “Do you have the feeling that you are being treated unfairly?” and “Has it happened that people whom you counted on disappointed you?”. Meaningful items include, “Do you have the feeling that you don’t really care about what goes on around you?” and “How often do you have the feeling that there’s little meaning in the things you do in your daily life?”. To clarify further, the comprehensibility (consists of items: 2, 6, 8, 9, and 11), manageability (consists of items: 3, 5, 10, and 13), and meaningfulness (consists of items: 1, 4, 7, and 12).
