Randomized Controlled TrialMental health first aid training by e-learning: a randomized controlled trial.
Mental Health First Aid training is a course for the public that teaches how to give initial help to a person developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. The present study evaluated the effects of Mental Health First Aid training delivered by e-learning on knowledge about mental disorders, stigmatizing attitudes and helping behaviour. ⋯ Mental Health First Aid information received by either e-learning or printed manual had positive effects, but e-learning was better at reducing stigma.
