简要总结
The underutilization of behavioral health services for mood and anxiety disorders by Latinos is a public health concern warranting intervention development. Perceived stigma associated with the pursuit of behavioral health services disproportionately restricts mental healthcare in Latinos. The current study empirically tests an intervention aimed at improving perceptions of behavioral health services for mood and anxiety disorders, ultimately improving Latinos' mental health through access to treatment. The experimental intervention is based on the Entertainment-Education (E-E) model, a popular media campaign that incorporates health and educational messages in an entertaining, story-telling narrative. The E-E model incorporates characters who have characteristics, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that are similar to those of the targeted audience to maximize social validity. Using data gathered in focus groups with Latinos a 3-minute E-E video (in Spanish) that aims to reduce stigma towards mental illness and behavioral health services was developed. Sixty adult Latinos pursuing care at a Federally Qualified Health Center, who screen positive for anxiety and/or depression will be invited to participate in the study. Participants will be administered a structured demographic interview and measures that assess stigma and attitudes towards mental health and behavioral health services and then randomized to the E-E video or control (structured discussion about depression and anxiety) condition. Participants will then complete the study measures and be invited to attend a Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) group for depression or anxiety. Consumer satisfaction will also be evaluated.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in score on Generalized Anxiety Stigma Scale (GASS)
时间窗: immediately before and immediately after intervention
The GASS is a twenty-item scale used to measure stigma associated with anxiety disorders and was developed by Griffiths et al, (2004). It consists of two subscales, which measure two different types of stigma: personal and perceived. Responses to each item are measured on a five-point scale ranging from strongly disagree (0) to strongly agree (4). Scores on each subscale can range from 0 to 40. Higher scores indicate higher levels of stigma against generalized anxiety. A Spanish-language version of the measure is being tested for validity and reliability (Benuto \& Gonzalez, In Progress).
Change in score on Attitudes Towards Seeking Professional Help Scale (ATSPH)
时间窗: immediately before and immediately after intervention
The ATSPH is a 20-item item measure that is intended to reflect an individual's attitude toward professional behavioral health treatment. It is a modified version of the Attitudes Towards Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale (Fisher \& Turner, 1970). Responses to each item are measured on a four-point scale ranging from disagree (0) to agree (3). Items (including some that are reverse-scored) are summed; total scores can range from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate more positive attitudes toward seeking treatment. A Spanish-language version of the measure is being tested for validity and reliability among a sample of Spanish-speaking individuals (Benuto \& Gonzalez, In Progress).
Change in score on Depression Stigma Scale (DSS)
时间窗: immediately before and immediately after intervention
The DSS is an eighteen-item scale used to measure stigma associated with depression and was developed by Griffiths et al, (2004). It consists of two subscales, which measure two different types of stigma: personal and perceived. Responses to each item are measured on a five-point scale ranging from strongly disagree (0) to strongly agree (4).Scores on each subscale can range from 0 to 36. Higher scores indicate higher levels of stigma against depression. A Spanish-language version of the measure is being tested for validity and reliability (Benuto \& Gonzalez, In Progress).
