Others

Basic objectives -Others

The current study will examine the efficacy of a brief video intervention in reducing self-stigma and increasing openness to treatment in those with a history of CM. The intervention will consist of a 2-minute video in which CM survivors (presented by female and male actors) share their childhood experiences and describe how they were able to deal with them and seek mental health care. Participants will then fill in several questionnaires measuring self-stigma-related
aspects, openness to seek help, and emotional engagement with the intervention.
