: Worsening student mental health, along with more complex mental illness presentation and increased access to campus mental health services, has led to a mental health "crisis" on campuses. One way to address student mental health needs may be through mental health programs which have been found to increase resiliency and help-seeking, and reduce stigma. The effectiveness of The Inquiring Mind (TIM), a mental health promotion and mental illness stigma reduction program, was examined in 810 students from 16 Canadian post-secondary institutions. Using a meta-analytic approach, TIM improved resiliency and decreased stigmatizing attitudes from pre to post, with medium effect sizes (d > .50). Analyses with those that completed the follow-up (about one-third of the sample) showed that effects were mostly retained at three months. Other outcomes also point to the program's effectiveness. TIM appears to be an effective program for post-secondary students. However, additional research, including randomized control trials, is needed to address study limitations.
学生心理健康状况恶化，加上更复杂的精神疾病表现和更多地获得校园心理健康服务，导致校园出现了“危机”。解决学生心理健康需求的一种方法可能是通过心理健康计划，这些计划已被证明可以提高适应力和寻求帮助的能力，并减少污名化。在来自 16 所加拿大高等院校的 810 名学生中，考察了心理健康促进和减少精神疾病污名化计划“探询思维”（TIM）的效果。使用元分析方法，TIM 提高了学生的适应力，并在前后减少了污名化态度，效果中等（d >.50）。对完成随访的学生（约三分之一的样本）进行分析表明，三个月后效果基本保持不变。其他结果也表明该计划是有效的。TIM 似乎是一种针对大学生的有效计划。然而，需要进行更多的研究，包括随机对照试验，以解决研究中的局限性。
