The Stigma of Seeking Help
- Salvatore Vescio
Niagara University
Abstract
Stigma plays a large role in dissuading individuals from seeking help for mental health issues. This experiment tests the efficacy of a brief, media-based intervention in decreasing stigma. Results of this experiment corroborate the findings of similar research; those with previous help-seeking experience are the most affected by interventions.
