Reducing depression stigma using a web-based program.

posted in: Updates in Informatics | 0

CONCLUSIONS: Computer-assisted education was effective in reducing the stigma of depression and increasing knowledge about depressive disorder. A web-based intervention has the potential to be used for educating graduate students and university staff about depression and for reducing depression stigmata. Healthcare professionals interacting with people with stigmatizing conditions can benefit from web-based computer education.
