The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
This is a completed RCT with planned 6-month follow-up addressing self-stigma reduction in severe mental illness, but the registry record contains no reported results, only study design and protocol.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07812298). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: City University of Hong Kong. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 80 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Expanded Coming Out Proud Group, Control Group. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Expanded Coming Out Proud group; BEHAVIORAL: control group. Primary outcome measures: Chinese Internalised Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) , From enrollment to the end of the treatment at 12 weeks, 3-month follow-up and 6-month follow-up.. Brief summary: Globally, approximately one-third of people with severe mental illness report self-stigma. Self-stigma negatively affects recovery by lowering quality of life, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, and reducing treatment adherence, which can lead individuals to refuse psychiatric medication, experience increased psychiatric symptoms, and relapse. Multi-component interventions, which combine several single interventions, have been found to produce better outcomes than single interventions alone, but few studies have been conducted in this area. To address this research gap, this study aimed to develop and evaluate the longer-term impact of a 12-session Expanded Coming Out Proud (ECOP) group delivered by a social worker and a peer support worker, with skills in empowerment and transforming negative self-stigmatising beliefs, to reduce self-stigma in people with severe mental illness in Hong Kong. This study was a multicentre, randomised controlled trial with 6-month follow-up. The intervention group received ECOP in addition to treatment as usual (TAU), which included interest classes and recreational activities, while the control group received TAU.
