A total of 64 participants were recruited from the University of Tampa and included in the preliminary results. Each participant was asked to read an informational brochure regarding mental health resources (Experimental group) or general campus facts (Control group) and then respond to the dependent measures. Our main hypothesis was that participants who view informational brochures regarding mental health resources will have more positive attitudes (e.g., less stigma) towards seeking treatment than those who do not view the mental health brochure. Preliminary analyses found that viewing the mental health resources brochure led to significantly increased scores on the Knowledge of Mental Health Resources Quiz and intentions to seek help from a formal source. Furthermore, willingness to engage in help seeking behavior trended towards significance. Perceived public stigma, personal stigma, self-stigma of seeking help, attitudes towards seeking professional help, and intentions to seek help from an informal source were not impacted. These results indicate that viewing a mental health brochure has an impact on willingness and intent to seek professional help.Item Florida Statewide Symposium on Undergraduate Research(Office of Undergraduate Research at Embry-Riddle, 2020-10-23) Florida Undergraduate Research AssociationWelcome to the Florida Undergradute Research Association’s 2020 Florida Statewide Symposium on Undergraduate Research. As educators, we strive to create opportunities for our students to develop their intellect, creativity, professionalism, and personal skills through mentored research. This passion to engage students in research is something that we all share. As a community, we come together every fall to learn for one another and strive to bring the best ideas back to our campuses to serve our students better. I am excited to welcome you here, to join in wonderful conversations with other faculty, students, staff, and administrators from across the state. Even though we cannot meet in person this year, I hope that we can capture some of the magic from years past through this virtual symposium. Together, we are contributing to the success of the undergraduate research community within the state of Florida. Thank you for joining us today, we hope you have some great conversations and find some great ideas to take back to your campus!
