Abstract
In a randomized trial, high schools were assigned to “immediate” or “delayed” conditions regarding student-initiated clubs on mental health stigma, within 42 Northern California high schools, to examine student changes in stigma over a school year. Stigma levels decreased, with small to medium effect sizes, replicating earlier quasi-experimental data.
