Brief Summary

In Saudi Arabia, there are limited studies addressing mental health literacy, with no studies regarding warning signs of mental illness. Mental health literacy among healthcare professions students as future clinicians decreases stigma and promotes mental health through early detection and management of mental health problems. The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital online educational session about the warning signs of mental illness called the Digital Base Warning Signs of Mental Illness Literacy Program. This study hypothesized that the Digital Base Warning Signs of Mental Illness Literacy Program is effective and will enhance health profession students' literacy regarding warning signs of mental illness. This is a non-randomized trial using a 30-minute digital educational session about the warning signs of mental illness. It involves a convenience sample of 493 undergraduate health profession students. The Mental Health Literacy Survey About Warning Signs of Mental Illness was developed and validated to measure the participants' mental health literacy before and after the intervention.
