This study developed and evaluated a brief, single-session online intervention designed to facilitate treatment seeking among adults with clinically significant social anxiety (SA) symptoms, who generally seek treatment at exceptionally low rates. Adults (N = 267) reporting significant SA symptoms were recruited online and randomized to a brief, single-session online intervention: Education consisted of brief psychoeducation and treatment resources, or Education+Motivation which added treatment seeking-focused motivational content adapted from Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Attitudes, intentions, perceived control, and treatment seeking were assessed at Pre, Post, and 1-month follow-up (FU). Both interventions were feasible (90% completion) and improved all outcomes. At FU, 70% reported engaging in one or more SA treatment-seeking behaviors. Education+Motivation was more effective than Education at improving treatment-seeking attitudes and behaviors. A brief online intervention with educational and motivational content is a promising direction for promoting treatment seeking for adults with SA symptoms.

本研究开发并评估了一种简短的单次在线干预，旨在促进具有临床显着社交焦虑 (SA) 症状的成年人寻求治疗，这些成年人通常以极低的比率寻求治疗。在线招募报告显着 SA 症状的成人 ( N  = 267)，并随机接受简短的单次在线干预：教育包括简短的心理教育和治疗资源，或教育+动机其中增加了以治疗寻求为重点的动机内容，改编自动机访谈和接受与承诺疗法。在前、后和 1 个月的随访 (FU) 中评估态度、意图、感知控制和寻求治疗。两种干预措施都是可行的（90% 完成）并改善了所有结果。在 FU，70% 的人报告参与了一种或多种 SA 寻求治疗行为。教育+动机在改善寻求治疗的态度和行为方面比教育更有效。具有教育和激励内容的简短在线干预是促进患有 SA 症状的成年人寻求治疗的有希望的方向。
