Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Public Health Interventions
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Mental illness stigma negatively impacts youth attitudes and treatment seeking.
  • School-based interventions are crucial for addressing mental health challenges in young populations.
  • Early intervention and positive social climates are vital for youth mental well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Eliminating the Stigma of Differences (ESD) school-based curriculum.
  • To assess ESD's impact on youth attitudes and behaviors towards mental illness.
  • To determine if ESD increases mental health treatment seeking among adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • A cluster randomized trial involving sixth-grade classes across 14 schools.
  • Comparison of ESD curriculum against a no-intervention control and two comparator interventions (contact and printed materials).
  • Follow-up assessments conducted over 24 months, measuring knowledge, attitudes, social distance, and treatment seeking.

Main Results:

  • Youth in the ESD group demonstrated significantly greater knowledge and positive attitudes towards mental illness.
  • ESD participation led to reduced social distance from peers with mental illness.
  • Adolescents with high mental health symptoms were 3.51 times more likely to seek treatment if assigned to ESD.

Conclusions:

  • The ESD curriculum shows potential in improving the school social climate regarding mental illness.
  • ESD effectively increases mental health treatment seeking among youth.
  • Interventions like ESD are promising components of public mental health strategies for youth.
