Patient study explores mental health stigma, trains students for community health data careers

Some healthcare studies produce not just new research—but also new researchers. For a study of healthcare patients that began in 2020, Yaara Zisman-Ilani, assistant professor in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, enlisted the aid of two College of Public Health undergraduate students. Both students have graduated and now work in municipal health research roles, putting their training on that study to work as they begin their careers.  The study examined shared decision making perceptions among patients with depression in minority populations, as well as the a...

Review finds common pitfalls in post-hospital care for people with SMI

For people with serious mental illness (SMI), like schizophrenia or major depression, the period immediately after discharge can be a high-risk moment for homelessness, unemployment and loneliness. Absence of well-coordinated care after discharge often leads to a return trip to the hospital. “The phenomenon is common in many chronic conditions, but especially for people with SMI,” says Yaara Zisman-Ilani, an investigator at Temple’s Collaborative on Communit...
