The present study examined the community mental health ideology presented in high school health textbooks. A content analysis of texts in national use revealed that a hygiene model of mental health predominated. Further, substantial attention was devoted to drugs and alcohol as central issues for high school students, with particular emphasis on prevention through "consumer" education. Community mental health approaches were largely ignored, with brief mention made of the community mental health center as place where one can go to receive individual treatment. Mental illness was consistently presented as an individual's internal problem, unrelated to the social or ecological context of the individual. The findings were discussed in terms of implications for the exposure to mental health received by high school students and in terms of the need for public education about community mental health issues.
本研究考察了高中健康教材中呈现的社区心理健康理念。对全国通用教材的内容分析显示，心理健康的卫生模式占主导地位。此外，教材还将大量注意力放在了毒品和酒精问题上，将其视为高中生的核心问题，并特别强调通过“消费者”教育进行预防。社区心理健康方法在很大程度上被忽视了，只是简单提到社区心理健康中心是一个可以去接受个体治疗的地方。精神疾病一直被呈现为个体的内在问题，与个体的社会或生态背景无关。研究结果从对高中生接触心理健康知识的影响以及对社区心理健康问题进行公众教育的必要性这两个方面进行了讨论。
