Summary
This study tested a mobile app called esTOCma, which uses a game to teach teachers about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). 175 teachers used the app for 10 days or did nothing. Researchers measured changes in OCD knowledge, stigma, and confidence in helping students. The goal was to see if a simple app could improve mental health literacy in schools.
