This study investigates the attitudes of undergraduate students towards widening the scope of MAiD for physical illness for certain psychiatric conditions. We were interested in understanding if age, information, and type of mental illness influenced undergraduates\u2019 acceptance or rejection of MAiD for mental illness (MAiD-MI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>413 undergraduate students participated in this study which examined the factors that correlate with the acceptance or rejection of MAiD-MI. Four scenarios were presented in which age (older or younger) and illness type (depression or schizophrenia) were manipulated. Demographic questions and measures assessing personality, religion, and attitudes towards euthanasia were administered. Questions assessing participants\u2019 general understanding of MAiD and their life experiences with death and suicide were also asked.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most of the participants accepted MAiD-MI for both depression and schizophrenia. As hypothesized, support for MAiD-MI was higher for patients with schizophrenia than for depression. Also as hypothesized, support was higher for older patients than for younger patients. Variables such as religion, personality and political affiliation were also associated with acceptance or rejection of MAiD-MI. Finally, consistent with our hypotheses, participants\u2019 understanding of MAiD and experiences with death and suicide was predictive of support for MAiD-MI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10499091241247835","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,2]],"date-time":"2024-05-02T09:34:17Z","timestamp":1714642457000},"page":"678-687","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Canadian Undergraduate Perspectives on Medical Assistance in Dying for Mental Illness: Does Psychiatric Illness Type, Age, and Exposure to Information Influence Acceptance of MAiD?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7185-2644","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lori","family":"Harper","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Macewan University Faculty of Arts and Science"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina A.","family":"Tomaras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macewan University Faculty of Arts and Science"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Russell A.","family":"Powell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macewan University Faculty of Arts and Science"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John R.","family":"Reddon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alberta Faculty of Arts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin","family":"Hawrelak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Saskatchewan College of Law"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","unstructured":"Canada D of J.
