NCT ID NCT07282366
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether short online videos can reduce stigma about depression and improve help-seeking attitudes in teens aged 8-18. About 500 participants, both depressed and non-depressed, will watch either a stigma-reduction video or a neutral video. The goal is to see if this simple approach can make teens more willing to seek help.
