In our paper, we provide examples of how this general approach can be used to investigate specific questions. One example: Can anxiety self-labeling become a “self-fulfilling prophecy”? (as articulated by the prevalence inflation hypothesis @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social @jackandrews.bsky.social)

The model goes like this: When people identify with mental illness labels, beliefs they hold about the mental illness become personally relevant. New identities may inform clinically relevant constructs like perceived control, coping strategies, and help-seeking.

The prevalence inflation hypothesis is heavily featured! @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social @jackandrews.bsky.social

📢New preprint!

Depression affects adults of all ages and races. But not everybody seeks care - or receives it - at the same rates.

Read our new analysis, in press @ JAD: osf.io/preprints/os...

📢New preprint!

Relative to autistic adults w/ a dx, adults who self-identify experience worse well-being and higher rates of unmet need. While most self-identifying adults want a dx, barriers to services go far beyond diagnostic gatekeeping.
