Mental health problems are common among young people, but many adolescents do not seek professional help when they need it. This is often due to low mental health literacy (not understanding mental health problems or knowing where to get help), stigma (negative attitudes toward mental illness), and fears about confidentiality or being judged.\n\nThe study has two parts:\n\nPart 1 - Assessment Phase: Researchers will survey approximately 270 students from preparatory and secondary schools in Assiut to understand their current levels of mental health literacy, stigma, and willingness to seek help for mental health problems. Students will complete validated questionnaires that measure their knowledge about mental health, their attitudes toward peers with mental health problems, and their intentions to seek help from various sources.\n\nPart 2 - Intervention Phase: In a randomized controlled trial involving 150 students (75 in an intervention group and 75 in a control group), researchers will test whether a brief educational program can improve mental health literacy, reduce stigma, and increase help-seeking intentions. The intervention consists of three weekly classroom sessions covering: (1) mental health literacy - basic concepts, common problems in adolescents like stress and anxiety, recognizing symptoms; (2) stigma reduction - understanding how negative labels hurt people, recognizing public and self-stigma, using respectful language; and (3) help-seeking behavior - knowing when to seek help, understanding formal and informal help sources, overcoming barriers, and learning about local resources in Assiut.\n\nStudents in both groups will complete questionnaires before the intervention and one month after completion. The control group will not receive the educational sessions during the study period. Researchers will compare changes in mental health knowledge, stigma levels, and help-seeking attitudes between the two groups to determine whether the program is effective.\n\nThe study aims to address a critical gap in mental health services for adolescents in Upper Egypt by improving young people's understanding of mental health and encouraging them to seek appropriate help when needed.",[124,125,126,32,127],"Mental Health","Mental Health Literacy","Stigma of Mental Illness","Adolescent Mental Health",[125,32,127,129],"Stigma","2026-02-02",{"date":132,"type":42},"2026-02-09",{"date":134,"type":22},"2026-05",{"date":136,"type":22},"2027-06",{"name":138,"class":49},"Assiut University",{"id":140,"slug":141,"hasResults":11,"nctId":142,"briefTitle":143,"officialTitle":144,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":145,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":146,"maxAge":147,"enrollmentInfo":148,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":150,"briefSummary":151,"conditions":152,"keywords":162,"overallStatus":76,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":169,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":170,"startDateStruct":172,"completionDateStruct":174,"leadSponsor":176,"locationsCount":50},"100517579","intervention-to-enhance-coping-and-help-seeking-among-youth-in-foster-care-100517579","NCT06019377","Intervention to Enhance Coping and Help-seeking Among Youth in Foster Care","Pilot Testing an Intervention to Enhance Coping and Increase Mental Health Help-seeking Among Transition-age Youth in Foster Care","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Eligible to receive federally-funded transition-related services in Oregon (ages 16-20 and in foster care at least 90 days after they turned age 14),\n* Indicated behavioral health risk.
