| Summary: | Stigma can have devastating health and wellbeing impacts, not just on people with
mental health problems, but on people associated with the stigmatized person. This
is called stigma-by-association. Children whose parents have mental health problems
are a particularly vulnerable group, and stigma acts as a mechanism, contributing
to the transgenerational transmission of mental disorders. The current study is a
systematic mixed studies review, synthesizing knowledge about how this group of
children experience stigma-by-association. Overall, 32 studies were included, after a
systematic search including quantitative, qualitatative, and mixed methods studies. The
methodological quality was assessed and qualitative content analysis undertaken. We
grouped children’s stigma experiences into four dimensions, i.e., experienced stigma,
anticipated stigma, internalized stigma, and structural discrimination. Results show that
stigma is an important factor in those children’s lives, and needs further investigation in
qualitative and quantitative research. The current study emphasizes the importance of
anti-stigma interventions and campaigns. |
