Accumulation of perceived discrimination over time and likelihood of probable mental health problems in UK adults: A longitudinal cohort study.

Background: Limited research has examined whether accumulation of discrimination over time is associated with worse mental health and whether such experiences are related to socioeconomic status (SES).

Methods: A sample of UK adults with self-reported discrimination experiences (n = 3863) was taken from three waves of the UK Household Longitudinal Study (2015-2020). Multinomial logistic regression assessed associations between SES (income, education, occupation) and cumulative discrimination (number of timepoints discrimination was reported).

Changes in the prevalence of perceived discrimination and associations with probable mental health problems in the UK from 2015 to 2020: A repeated cross-sectional analysis of the UK Household Longitudinal Study.

Background: Significant social and political changes occurred in the UK between 2015 and 2020. Few studies have examined population level trends in experiencing discrimination and mental health problems during this period.

Aims: To determine prevalence trends in perceived discrimination and probable mental health problems amongst UK adults during 2015-2020.

Prevalence of perceived discrimination and associations with mental health inequalities in the UK during 2019-2020: A cross-sectional study.

Experiencing discrimination is associated with poorer mental health and the demographic patterning of discrimination may explain social inequalities in mental health. The present research examined prevalence of perceived discrimination in the UK and associations with social inequalities in mental health. Data were taken from the UK Household Longitudinal Study (n = 32,003).

A 20-year review comparing the use of 'schizophrenia' and 'psychosis' in UK newspapers from 2000 to 2019: Implications for stigma reduction.

Background: There have been increasing calls for schizophrenia to be renamed to reduce negative associations with the diagnosis. 'Psychosis' is one proposed alternative, yet some research suggests this has greater negative connotations. This study compared the use of both terms within UK newspapers longitudinally to assess which is more negatively portrayed in the media.
