health within populations. It contributes to the overall understanding of the mental health status
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
of population groups, or aggregates, and it examines the associations among possible factors.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
Epidemiology does not explain research findings about neurophysiology, provide theoretical
m m m m m m m m m m
explanations for why specific disorders occur, or predict recovery.

following would be most important for the nurse to address?

Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be addressed, in this
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
cultural group, label avoidance would be most important. Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
so as not to be labeled mentally ill is a type of stigma that influences why so few people with
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mental health problems actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mental illness that influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they possibly ignore the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
symptoms or refuse to seek treatment because of this stigma. Negative life events affect anyone,
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
not just those of the Asian culture.

referring to the client?

A) Committed client m
