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.en-USMental health resourcesPsychologyUndergraduate researchPresentation
