Example of how I want the analysis look like: Source 1 Chandra, Anita. “Mental Health Stigma.” Encyclopedia of Adolescence, Roger J. R.

Authority: Who is responsible for the information? Who is the author(s)? If the author is not
an expert or not listed, does the place of publication add authority? Is the author, editor,
publisher a reputable authority on the subject? What are their credentials/expertise? Search
other websites to verify the authority of the information. Be sure to cite this information.
The author is Anita Chandra. She earned her doctorate from the John Hopkins
Bloomberg School of Public Health and has spent the time afterwards proposing public
health solutions to both federal and nonfederal groups (Academy). She has been cited
multiple times by various news publications such as NBC and PBS (NPR).
Verifiable Accuracy: Is the piece well researched? Can the information provided be verified
through their use of a form of citation or transparency about where information comes from
such as clearly mentioning the author or linking to the source? Mention at least two sources
and why they seem to have authority.
The article clearly cites the information it references in a way that allows for the reader
to research the sources used. The author uses a variety of sources from studies and research
papers to support her ideas. Three of her citations include research and articles she had
previously helped write with another author while the rest are from other authors and
publications. One of the article’s sources is “Depictions of Mental Illness in Children’s Media”
Last Name 2
by Otto F Wahl, a professor of psychology and author of books discussing stigma of mental
disorders and its portrayal in media (Otto). His article discussing how children’s media
portrays mental illness was published in the
Journal of Mental Health. Another source is an
academic research article, “Perceived stigma as a predictor of treatment discontinuation in
young and older outpatients with depression” published in
The American Journal of
Psychiatry, a peer-reviewed, scientific journal.
Bias/Purpose: Why did the author publish the information? To inform, educate, analyze,
advocate, sell, or entertain? Who is the intended audience? General readers? Academic
readers? Discipline specialists? What political, ideological, cultural, religious, institutional, or
personal perspectives and biases are evident; does the place of publication exist as a front to
promote an agenda?
Her purpose for publishing this article is to analyze the effects of mental health stigma on
adolescents and the current limitations of research done about those stigmas. Chandra has a
history of advocating for programs that help children’s health and does so in the article by
stating the need for more research into how stigma affects adolescents.
Timeliness: What is the date of publication or copyright? Has it been revised or updated? Is
the information presented in the work itself current or out of date for your research needs? Is
the information timely for your particular topic, i.e., no recent research has been done on the
topic?
This publication is from 2018 making this article four years old now. The referenced
sources contained in this article range from the year 1989 to 2009 making the information
presented on the studied effects of stigma and mental illness dated in comparison to more
recent studies. There have been recent research/studies that support the research cited in the
article namely that there is a correlation between a higher rate of perceived stigma and
barriers to healthcare. One article published more recently contains similar information but
include that the stigma towards mentally ill children and young adults (specifically males)
among their peers may have gone down although the cause cannot be exactly determined
(Clark).
Relevance: Does this source help answer your research question? How detailed is the
information? Is it too basic for your needs? Too advanced? Have you examined a variety of
sources before deciding this is the one you will use? Relevance is intermixed with all the other
evaluation criteria; everything is taken into consideration when determining relevance.
It does help answer my research question and some of my secondary questions.
Understanding how stigma can affect children and adolescents can help in creating a solution
that includes education on those stigmas. Mental health stigma is shown to be a barrier to
obtaining help for individuals due to societal and familial stigmas about mental illness. Part
of how to increase access to care could be to decrease the fear of seeking treatment in the
first place. I have examined other sources before choosing this one and concluded that this
could have useful information.

Overall Evaluation: At this point, do you feel this source could be considered a quality
source for your research? Refer to your analysis done above to support your final judgment.
This is a quality source because of the expertise of the author and the clear indicators
of where she got her sources. It answers my secondary research questions and aids in
answering my main question. The citations are still supported by current research but should
be supplemented with newer information. The information cited comes from other authorities in
psychology along with the author’s own knowledge.
