Summary

This study looked at whether offering cash rewards and sharing screening results could encourage college students in Chennai, India, to use free mental health services. About 340 women students were split into four groups: some just got information, others also learned their screening results, some got a cash reward for their first therapy visit, and some got both. The goal was to see which approach increased interest in and attendance at therapy.
