Mental health first aid (MHFA) may have beneficial effects on the public's knowledge, attitude, and behavior; however, its effectiveness in increasing mental health literacy on college students remains unknown.
We systematically searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to January 2020. We included trials that compared the effect between the MHFA program group and control group on the knowledge, stigmatizing attitudes, confidence, and intention of college students. A random-effects model was used.
We analyzed five trials involving 1134 participants and found that the MHFA program could significantly increase the student's knowledge (SMD: 0.49, 95% CI: [0.28-0.70]) and confidence (SMD: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.24-1.19).
Overall, the MHFA program could increase college students' knowledge regarding mental health and confidence to support people with mental health problems. However, well-designed control trials are required to investigate the program's effect on mental health literacy in college students.

心理健康急救（MHFA）可能对公众的知识、态度和行为产生有益影响；然而，其在提高大学生心理健康素养方面的效果尚不清楚。
我们系统地检索了 PubMed、EMBASE 和 Cochrane Library 数据库，检索时间从建库至 2020 年 1 月。我们纳入了比较 MHFA 项目组与对照组对大学生知识、污名化态度、信心和意向影响的试验。使用随机效应模型。
我们分析了五项涉及 1134 名参与者的试验，发现 MHFA 项目可以显著提高学生的知识（SMD：0.49，95%CI：[0.28-0.70]）和信心（SMD：0.71，95%CI：0.24-1.19）。
总体而言，MHFA 项目可以提高大学生对心理健康的知识和信心，以支持有心理健康问题的人。然而，需要进行精心设计的对照试验来调查该项目对大学生心理健康素养的影响。
