A large percentage of individuals within the United States who experience mental health problems fail to seek out any form of professional psychological help. In particular, although the efficacy and effectiveness of psychotherapy has clearly been demonstrated in the empirical literature, trends indicate a decrease in the utilization of this type of treatment. Existing research suggests that help-seeking stigma and preferences play a significant role in predicting help-seeking behaviors; however, little research has tested methods for increasing preferences and decreasing stigma toward psychotherapy. In this study, a nationwide sample of participants (n = 983) were randomized to watch 1 of 3 short commercial advertisements for psychotherapy or a control video. Participants were then asked to complete measures of perceived public stigma, self-stigma, and preferences for psychotherapy or medication for a psychological problem. Group comparisons indicated that although participants who watched the videos did not display less self-stigma compared to control participants, they did experience lower perceptions of public stigma (d = 0.25). Further, those who watched the psychotherapy videos were more likely to indicate a preference for psychotherapy over medication compared to the control group (odds ratio = 1.50). These results have important preliminary implications for improving access to psychotherapy for those with a mental health need.

使用美国心理学会心理治疗作品视频进行的直接面向消费者营销的随机对照测试。

在美国,有很大一部分遇到心理健康问题的人未能寻求任何形式的专业心理帮助。特别是,虽然心理治疗的功效和有效性已在实证文献中得到明确证明,但趋势表明这种治疗的利用正在减少。现有研究表明,寻求帮助的污名和偏好在预测寻求帮助的行为方面起着重要作用;然而,很少有研究测试过增加对心理治疗的偏好和减少耻辱感的方法。在这项研究中,一个全国性的参与者样本 (n = 983) 随机观看 3 个用于心理治疗的商业短广告或一个控制视频中的一个。然后要求参与者完成感知公众污名的测量,自我污名,以及对心理问题的心理治疗或药物治疗的偏好。小组比较表明,尽管与对照组相比,观看视频的参与者并没有表现出更少的自我污名,但他们对公众污名的感知确实较低(d = 0.25)。此外,与对照组相比,观看心理治疗视频的人更有可能表示更喜欢心理治疗而不是药物治疗(优势比 = 1.50)。这些结果对于改善有心理健康需求的人获得心理治疗的机会具有重要的初步意义。他们确实对公众污名的看法较低(d = 0.25)。此外,与对照组相比,观看心理治疗视频的人更有可能表示更喜欢心理治疗而不是药物治疗(优势比 = 1.50)。这些结果对于改善有心理健康需求的人获得心理治疗的机会具有重要的初步意义。他们确实对公众污名的看法较低(d = 0.25)。此外,与对照组相比,观看心理治疗视频的人更有可能表示更喜欢心理治疗而不是药物治疗(优势比 = 1.50)。这些结果对于改善有心理健康需求的人获得心理治疗的机会具有重要的初步意义。
