11. Summary of new findings of dissertation:
2-day mental health literacy training program was effective increasing the teachers’ mental health knowledge, decrease negative beliefs and attitudes toward mental illness.
Teachers in the intervention group had significantly higher knowledge scores (M = 64.6 vs. M = 51.3, p<.001), more positive attitudes (M = 3.62 vs. M = 3.16, p<.001), and fewer negative beliefs (M = 1.88 vs. M = 2.57, p<.001) relative to controls.
- MHL Guide classroom intervention/1-hour per week for six modules was effective increasing student’s knowledge and attitudes toward mental illness.
- Students in the intervention group had significantly higher knowledge score (M = 56.9 vs. M = 50.6, p<.001) and attitude scores (M = 4.60 vs. M = 3.98, p<.001) relative to controls
12. Practical application: (if any)
Findings from this pilot RCT support the potential benefits of school-based MHL training in Cambodia, where there is substantial stigma, prejudice and discrimination toward mental illness.
13. Future research direction: (if any)
The next practical steps: revise curriculum, large multi-school RCT, hybrid implementation-effectiveness research (that looks at both different approaches to implementation support and also impact on outcomes)
