About this study
The purposes of this study are to:
- test among adolescent the utility of brief video-based interventions to reduce stigma-related attitudes and increase help-seeking intentions toward depression;
- examine the role of race (Black vs other) as an independent factor in the primary outcome.
Read the detailed description
Intervention videos will each be of ~120-second duration and feature an underage female professional (age 16) acting as a simulated patient. All three videos will focus on her as an empowered presenter with depression sharing her personal story regarding depression and describe how social supports from family, friends, and community, as well as professional help assisted her in overcoming symptoms of the illness.
Assessments will occur at baseline and post-intervention, and will include:
- Demographics (baseline only);
- Primary outcome: Depression-related stigma(Depression Stigma Scale [DSS]) summary score.
- Secondary outcomes: a. DSS individual items; b. Help-seeking (General Help-Seeking Questionnaire [GHSQ]) summary score and individual items; and bc Racial attitudes: feelings thermometers.
The investigators intend to randomly assign ~1,000 individuals aged 14-18 as follows:
Subjects oversampled for Black participants (50% Black; 50% other);
Randomized, in equal proportions, and stratified by race, to view one of three ~120-second videos of a girl with:
- No depression control (Black; BC);
- Depression (Black, following same script as in our earlier study (Amsalem and Martin, 2021), DB); and
- Depression adjusted (Black, with script adjusted based on input from focus group of Black girls and women; DBa).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Short videosBehavioural
Intervention videos will each be of 90-second duration and feature two underage professionals (ages 16) acting as a simulated patient. All videos will focus on an empowered presenter with depression sharing her personal story regarding depression and describe how social supports from family, friends, and community, as well as professional help assisted her in overcoming symptoms of the illness. The actors will include a Black girl and a white girl.

|---|---|---|
| Black girl, control (BC) | Active comparator | ~120-second video of a Black adolescent girl, without depression Receives: Behavioral: Short videos |
| Black girl, depressed (BD) | Active comparator | ~120-second video of a Black adolescent girl, depressed Receives: Behavioral: Short videos |
| Black girl, depressed, adjusted (BDa) | Active comparator | ~120-second video of a Black adolescent girl, depressed - adjusted for the specifics of being a Black girl (as informed by a focus group of Black girls and women) Receives: Behavioral: Short videos |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Depression-related stigma (Depression Stigma Scale [DSS]; Personal component only): TOTAL SCORE
The DSS (Christensen, Jorm, Evans, \& Groves, 2004) is a self-report instrument composed of two 9-item subscales. The first subscale measures the participants' own/ personal attitudes, and the second measures participants' beliefs about the attitudes of others ('Depression is sign of weakness' vs. 'Most people believe that depression is a sign of weakness'). We will use the Personal subscale (DSS-Personal) in this study. The DSS has a 5-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). The total score comprises the sum of its item scores, and a higher score indicates more stigma (worse outcome). The DSS-Personal subscale has shown adequate psychometric properties: 0.71 test-retest reliability, 0.76 internal consistency (Griffiths et al., 2004). In our earlier study (Amsalem and Martin, 2021), Cronbach's a was .83.
Measured: Before / after viewing videos (within 10 minutes)
Secondary outcomes (31)
Change in Help-seeking (General Help-Seeking Questionnaire [GHSQ]; Emotional and Suicide components): MEAN SCORE
The General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ) (Wilson, Deane, Marshall, \& Dalley, 2008) was developed to measure help-seeking intentions from different sources (friend, parent, mental health professional, and others) and is divided into personal-emotional problems and suicidal thoughts (Ibrahim et al., 2019). The instrument consists of 10 items for each part, measured with a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (extremely unlikely) to 7 (extremely likely). One question is stated as 'I would not seek help from anyone' and is reverse-scored. Higher scores on this scale indicate more help seeking (better outcome). The GHSQ has shown good psychometric properties: Cronbach's alpha = .70 and test-retest of .86 for personal-emotional problems, and Cronbach's alpha = .83 and test-retest of .88 for suicidal thoughts.
Measured: Before / after viewing videos (within 10 minutes)
Change in Racial attitudes: feelings thermometer
We will use a feelings thermometer, modeled after Norton and Herek, 2013:
"Using a scale from zero to 100, please tell us your personal feelings toward each of the following groups of friends, teachers, or colleagues. As you do this task, think of an imaginary thermometer. The warmer or more favorable you feel toward the group, the higher the number you should give it. The colder or less favorable you feel, the lower the number. If you feel neither warm nor cold toward the group, rate it 50." To familiarize respondents with the response format, they will be first presented with thermometers for "Men in general" and "Women in general," with each respondent rating her or his own sex first. Next, they rate racially different groups (white women, white men, Black women, Black men) with the order of presentation randomized. Higher ratings (maximum 100) indicate warmer, more favorable feelings toward the target whereas lower ratings (minimum 0) indicate colder, more negative feelings.
Measured: Before / after viewing videos (within 10 minutes)
Change in DSS Item 1

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purposes of this study are to:
- test among adolescent the utility of brief video-based interventions to reduce stigma-related attitudes and increase help-seeking intentions toward depression;
- examine the role of race (Black vs other) as an independent factor in the primary outcome.
Detailed description
Intervention videos will each be of ~120-second duration and feature an underage female professional (age 16) acting as a simulated patient. All three videos will focus on her as an empowered presenter with depression sharing her personal story regarding depression and describe how social supports from family, friends, and community, as well as professional help assisted her in overcoming symptoms of the illness.
Assessments will occur at baseline and post-intervention, and will include:
- Demographics (baseline only);
- Primary outcome: Depression-related stigma(Depression Stigma Scale [DSS]) summary score.
- Secondary outcomes: a. DSS individual items; b. Help-seeking (General Help-Seeking Questionnaire [GHSQ]) summary score and individual items; and bc Racial attitudes: feelings thermometers.
The investigators intend to randomly assign ~1,000 individuals aged 14-18 as follows:
Subjects oversampled for Black participants (50% Black; 50% other);
Randomized, in equal proportions, and stratified by race, to view one of three ~120-second videos of a girl with:
- No depression control (Black; BC);
- Depression (Black, following same script as in our earlier study (Amsalem and Martin, 2021), DB); and
- Depression adjusted (Black, with script adjusted based on input from focus group of Black girls and women; DBa).

Primary outcome
Change in Depression-related stigma (Depression Stigma Scale [DSS]; Personal component only): TOTAL SCORE
Time frame: Before / after viewing videos (within 10 minutes)
The DSS (Christensen, Jorm, Evans, \& Groves, 2004) is a self-report instrument composed of two 9-item subscales. The first subscale measures the participants' own/ personal attitudes, and the second measures participants' beliefs about the attitudes of others ('Depression is sign of weakness' vs. 'Most people believe that depression is a sign of weakness'). We will use the Personal subscale (DSS-Personal) in this study. The DSS has a 5-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). The total score comprises the sum of its item scores, and a higher score indicates more stigma (worse outcome). The DSS-Personal subscale has shown adequate psychometric properties: 0.71 test-retest reliability, 0.76 internal consistency (Griffiths et al., 2004). In our earlier study (Amsalem and Martin, 2021), Cronbach's a was .83.

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Depression-related stigma (Depression Stigma Scale [DSS]; Personal component only): TOTAL SCORE (time frame: Before / after viewing videos (within 10 minutes)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04890990, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Aug 2021.
