Brief Video Intervention for Parents of Children with Mental Health Problems

This study is looking at how short videos can help parents of children with mental health problems like depression, ADHD, or substance use. The goal is to see if these videos can reduce the feelings of shame or embarrassment (stigma) parents might feel, and encourage them to seek help for their children. You might be able to join if you are an English-speaking parent living in the US, aged 25-50, and have a child between 6-18 years old with one of these conditions. The study will measure changes in parental stigma and attitudes towards seeking professional help immediately after watching a video and again 30 days later. The study aims to enroll 1600 participants, but its current status is unclear.
