Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Confidence in supporting student mental health[Confidence in supporting student mental health is measured using a 6-item scale, presenting 6 mental health-based scenarios in which participants indicate their confidence for each scenario from 1 (Not at all confident) to 5 (Extremely confident), resulting in an overall confidence score ranging from 6 to 30. This scale has been adapted from previous randomised controlled trials in manager mental health training research (Gayed et al., 2019)<br><br>Gayed, A., Bryan, B. T., LaMontagne, A.
