Interventions to Promote Mental Health Literacy in University Students and Their Clinical Educators. A Systematic Review of Randomised Control Trials

Preliminary evidence suggests that interventions such as MHFA may potentially help clinical educators and health professional students develop positive attitudes to providing help and increase MHFA knowledge. MHFA may reduce social distance from a person with a mental health condition but the content needs to be refined if they are to change attitudes toward seeking professional help or stigma. High quality research that includes long term follow up is warranted given the importance of the attitudes of health professionals towards those with mental health issues and the mental health challenges of working as health professionals.
