Summary

This study looks at whether playing or watching football, combined with hearing personal stories from people with mental illness, can reduce stigma among university students. About 210 students aged 18-30 will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a standard talk-based session, a session with a football video, or a session with actual football activity. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to interact with people with mental illness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
football-based education program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that combining sports with personal stories is a more effective way to reduce stigma around mental illness.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in university students only, so results may not apply to the general public. The intervention is a single session, so any effects may be short-lived.
