Schools are an ideal setting for enhancing mental health literacy, a crucial strategy for improving adolescents' mental health knowledge and attitudes and promoting help-seeking. "The Guide Cymru" program is an adaptation of the mental health literacy program" The Guide" that was developed in Canada. The program will be culturally adapted for 13- to 15-year-old Iranian adolescent students in the first secondary schools.
In this randomized controlled trial, using the stratified random sampling procedure, the whole eighth and ninth grade student body (aged 13 to 15) from Sirjan City's first secondary schools will be included in the study. Twenty first secondary schools will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: control or intervention. Finally, 562 students and 40 teachers will participate in the research. The tools of mental health literacy scale (MHLs), mental health general knowledge and attitudes related to mental disorders/illnesses are employed in this study.
This trial aims to be to explore whether "The Guide Cymru", a mental health literacy program offered to students as part of the school curriculum, can decrease the stigma associated with mental health and promote help-seeking behaviors among students.
学校是提高心理健康素养的理想场所，这是提高青少年心理健康知识和态度以及促进求助行为的关键策略。“威尔士指南”项目是对在加拿大开发的心理健康素养项目“指南”的改编。该项目将针对伊朗第一中学13至15岁的青少年学生进行文化适应性调整。
在这项随机对照试验中，采用分层随机抽样程序，将锡尔詹市第一中学的全体八年级和九年级学生（年龄在13至15岁之间）纳入研究。20所第一中学将被随机分为两组之一：对照组或干预组。最后，562名学生和40名教师将参与该研究。本研究采用心理健康素养量表（MHLs）、与精神障碍/疾病相关的心理健康常识和态度等工具。
本试验旨在探讨作为学校课程一部分提供给学生的心理健康素养项目“威尔士指南”是否能够减少与心理健康相关的污名化现象，并促进学生的求助行为。
