Abstract
At the request of Sage and the Journal Editors, the following article has been retracted:
Adu J, Oudshoorn A, Anderson K, Marshall CA, Stuart H, & Owusu MF (2025). Family Members’ Perspectives on Mental Illness Stigma: A Community Study. Canadian Journal of Nursing Research. 0(0). https://doi.org/10.1177/08445621251343167
Following publication, the authors contacted the Journal requesting to retract the article due to discrepancies between the raw interview transcripts and several participant quotations as presented in the article.
The author subsequently provided interview questionaries and a small number of transcripts and requested a correction. They were unable to provide complete underlying data.
The Journal Editor reviewed the materials provided and deemed that in the absence of access to the full participant transcripts and complete raw data, concerns regarding the accuracy and reliability of the quotations and the findings presented in the article remain unresolved.
Due to these unresolved concerns that call into question the validity of the findings, the Journal Editor and Sage retract the article.
The author agreed to the retraction when notified.
