简要总结
This is a three-lesson, disclosure-based stigma reduction program meant to reduce barriers to community living and participation for college students with psychiatric disabilities. The goal is to improve community living and participation of individuals with psychiatric disabilities within their postsecondary community using the Honest Open Proud (HOP) program. There are 3 specific objectives of the project:1) evaluate program fidelity, 2) assess program feasibility, and 3) conduct a randomized controlled trial of the HOP program with college students with mental illness to examine its efficacy. Anticipated outcomes include increases in 1) community integration, 2)self-esteem and self-efficacy, 3) empowerment and self-determination, 4) disclosure of mental illness in order to obtain needed support, and 5) care seeking/service engagement for mental illness. Ultimately, we expect to see increased academic persistence and achievement among HOP program completers.

结局指标
主要结局
Why Try Stigma Scale (WTSS)
时间窗: Change from baseline to week 3, week 7, week 15 and 27 for all participants
The current version of the WTSS does not include items specific to the pursuit of postsecondary education. Therefore, the investigators will add two items for the purpose of this study: "I am not worthy of obtaining a college degree because I have a mental illness" and "I am not capable of obtaining a college degree because I have a mental illness." After the addition of the two aforementioned items, this scale includes 16 items on a seven-point agreement scale. The min on the scale is 1 or "Strongly disagree" to 7 or "Strongly agree". Using this scale, an observed decrease would be a better outcome.
Self-Stigma of Mental Illness Scale-Short Form
时间窗: Change from baseline to week 3, week 7, week 15 and 27 for all participants
Scores correspond with the four stage regressive model of self-stigma. The min of this scale is 1 or "I strongly disagree" and the max is 9 or "I strongly agree". Using this scale, an observed decrease would be a better outcome.
Stigma Stress Scale
时间窗: Change from baseline to week 3, week 7, week 15 and 27 for all participants
This scale includes 4 items measuring appraisal of stigma as a stressor (e.g., "prejudice against people with mental illness will have a negative impact on my future") and 4 items measuring perceived resources to cope with stigma (e.g., "I am prepared to deal with prejudice against people with mental illness"). The min on the scale is 1 or "Strongly disagree" to 7 or "Strongly agree". Using this scale, an observed increase would be a better outcome.
Self-Determination Scale
时间窗: Change from baseline to week 3, week 7, week 15 and 27 for all participants
Participants respond to a vignette about a person, Harry, living with schizophrenia. The scale includes 14 items on a 9-point agreement scale. The minimum on the scale is 1 or "Strongly Agree" to 9 or "Strongly Disagree". Using this scale, an observed decrease would be a better outcome.
The Empowerment Scale
时间窗: Change from baseline to week 3, week 7, week 15 and 27 for all participants
Yields five factors: self-efficacy/self-esteem, power/powerlessness/community activism, righteous anger, and optimism/control over the future. This scale includes 28 items on a 4-point agreement scale. The min on the scale is 1 or "Strongly Disagree" to the max of 4 or "Strongly Agree". Using this scale, an observed increase would be a better outcome.
