Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a planned 4-arm RCT investigating brief video-based interventions to reduce parental internalized stigma of mental illness in parents of children with depression, ADHD, or substance use disorders. No results have been posted to the registry; the study is not yet recruiting as of this record. The design targets a public health priority (stigma as a barrier to youth treatment-seeking), but evidence of efficacy is absent pending completion and results reporting.

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 (NCT07594730). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: New York State Psychiatric Institute. Recruitment status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 1600 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Depression Disorders, ADHD, Substance Abuse, Social Stigma, Help-Seeking Behavior, Caregiver Burden. Interventions: OTHER: Brief video. Primary outcome measures: Parental Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness scale (PISMI) , Immediately after viewing video, 30 days after intervention; Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (adapted) , Immediately after viewing video, 30 days after intervention. Brief summary: The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of brief video interventions parental internalized stigma and stigma-related outcomes (e.g., treatment intentions, caregiver burden, secrecy) among parents (ages 25-50) of children ages 6-18 with depression, ADHD, or substance use problems. Timely identification and treatment of mental health problems in youth is a public health priority. However, many youth do not receive treatment, and stigma has been identified as the primary barrier to help-seeking. Parents experience stigma related to their children having mental health problems, which has been associated with reduced help-seeking and increased parental distress. Prior experiments have found brief video-based interventions (BVIs), 1-2 minute videos similar to those viewed by youth on social media platforms, based on the principle of "social contact" with individuals affected by a stigmatized condition, effective in reducing mental health stigma and increasing help-seeking. In this 4-arm RCT, the investigators will recruit parents aged 25-50 using an online crowdsourcing platform, to test the efficacy of BVIs featuring a personal parent narrative of their experience with their child's a) depression, b) ADHD, or c) substance use, or d) a control condition that provides general written psychoeducational information without social contact.
