    What explains trust in online mental health therapy provision platforms? An online descriptive survey

    Background
    Currently, there is an increased interest in providing mental health care through digital devices and
    services, and the demand for these services is growing.
    Objective
    In this study, we considered the phenomenon of trust in online consultations, and the factors
    affecting this trust, within a Russian context.
    Methods
    An online survey was conducted using Google Forms in May 2023 and the data were analyzed
    using SPSS. All the participants were students from Moscow universities aged from 18 to 35 years.
    The final sample consisted of 203 students, of which 154 (75.9%) were women, 44 (21.7%) were
    men, and five (2.5%) preferred not to specify their gender.
    Results
    We found that students had a high level of trust, which depended on personal factors, such as
    experience, socio-economic status, and age, and contextual factors, such as geographical and
    temporal independence, price of the session, availability of recommendations, popularity of the
    platform, and the level of technical equipment.

    Equality and Inclusion in Russian Secondary Education: Post-Soviet Policy Analysis

    This chapter is devoted to the analysis of the design and implementation of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of inclusion and equity in education over the past 30 years (i.e., the post-Soviet period) in secondary education. The analysis covers legislation, conceptual policy documents, and programs at the national level. We discuss how the principles of inclusiveness and equity in education are institutionalised in the state regulation system. We considered which categories of children were identified as groups at risk of limited access to educational resources and educational exclusion and became target support groups. We demonstrate in which areas success has been achieved and how the limitations of a policy’s effec-tiveness relate to overall progress in institutional reforms. The presented case may be interesting to other countries, especially countries in transition facing a growing wealth gap, rising poverty, and migration processes.

    Mapping Sociology of Mental Health and Illness Articles in American Sociological Review

    Using two samples of research articles published between 1936 and 2024, I map the topic structure of the sociology of mental health and illness in the American Sociological Review (ASR) journal. One sample has 116 articles on the sociology of mental health and illnesses, and the other contains 13,645 papers published across all topics since the journal’s founding. To achieve this, I used word co-occurrence networks with several other Bibliometrix package modules to investigate four study questions: 1. What percentage of articles included in ASR are from the sociology of mental health and illness, and has this percentage evolved over time? 2. Out of all journal articles, how often is this kind of research cited? 3. What fields of research does the sociology of mental health and illness cover now? 4. How has the scientific discourse on the sociology of mental health and illness changed over time? The results of this study show that, despite making up a tiny percentage of publications, the share of journal articles on mental health and illness in ASR began to increase yearly in 1999. Additionally, the sociology of mental health and illness publications frequently receive more citations than conventional journal articles. In conclusion, until 2015, articles on social ties had a significant impact on the corpus of papers on the sociology of mental health and illness in the journal; articles on families, however, were cited almost continuously over time, and starting in 2016, articles on race began to have an impact.
