Black individuals hold more negative views of mental illness and mental health treatment than do Whites, attitudes that are implicated in the underutilization of mental health services by Black populations. Psychoeducational interventions or materials may be one way to address attitudinal barriers to mental health treatment among Black adults, but only if the psychoeducational content is directly relevant to their beliefs and concerns. This article documents the process of developing a consumer-derived psychoeducational booklet for Black adults contemplating mental health treatment. Black mental health consumers provided the content for the booklet through qualitative interviews about their experiences and then provided feedback once it was developed. Results from this project suggest that the strategy of involving consumers is a feasible approach to develop psychoeducational materials that address treatment barriers in underserved populations.
与白人相比，黑人对精神疾病和心理健康治疗持更负面的看法，这些态度与黑人人口心理健康服务利用不足有关。心理教育干预措施或材料可能是解决成年黑人心理健康治疗态度障碍的一种方法，但前提是心理教育内容与他们的信仰和担忧直接相关。本文记录了为考虑接受心理健康治疗的成年黑人编写一本由消费者主导的心理教育手册的过程。黑人心理健康消费者通过关于他们经历的定性访谈为手册提供内容，然后在手册编写完成后提供反馈。该项目的结果表明，让消费者参与的策略是开发解决弱势群体治疗障碍的心理教育材料的可行方法。
