Short Summary
IMPRES is based on the project “NePP” from the first funding period. It is aiming at the prevention of mental disorders by implementing an evaluation an early intervention to promote mental health literacy (MHL). Additionally, and based on a systematic review and meta-analysis, another important goal is to address the reduction of stigma in relation to mental health.
The project goals comprise:
- reviewing current research about stigmatization of people with mental disorders (public and self-stigma) and processes relevant for using mental health-related information
- collecting and reviewing existing anti-stigma-campaigns and interventions focusing on children and adolescents
- developing (or adapting), implementing and evaluating an intervention on mental health literacy in children and adolescents to reduce stigma, including self-stigma in affected groups and public stigma.
