Association Between eHealth Literacy and Mental Health Literacy: Cross-Sectional Study Summary sentence The work reports on associations between eHealth Literacy (eHL) and Mental Health Literacy (MHL), hypothesizing a positive association between them. No significant association was identified between overall eHL and MHL. However, understanding online content correlated with knowledge (r = .18, P = .004) and lower stigma (r = -.15, P = .015). A distinction between perceived and actual knowledge is made.

Many people still struggle to identify early signs of distress or to feel confident talking about mental health. #MentalHealthLiteracy is absolutely essential for individuals, workplaces, and communities - the ability to recognise, understand, and respond to mental health challenges.

Effects of YouTube #Health Videos on #MentalHealth Literacy in Adolescents and Teachers: Randomized Controlled Trial Background: Adolescence is a critical period for #MentalHealth development, yet prevalences of #MentalHealth problems are high among young people. Enhancing #MentalHealth literacy in school settings could be an effective strategy for the promotion of mental well-being and prevention of #MentalHealth struggles. One promising #Approach to achieving this goal involves equipping both students and teachers with accessible multimedia resources—such as YouTube #Health videos—to enhance their #MentalHealth literacy. Objective: The study evaluates the effectiveness of a short educational YouTube #Health video for promoting #MentalHealth literacy in adolescents and teachers. Methods: Two independent samples of 352 adolescents and 502 teachers from Germany were recruited from a large panel, representative of the German population with internet access. Participants of each sample were allocated to an experimental group (176 adolescents and 254 teachers) and a control group (176 adolescents and 248 teachers) through randomization. The experimental group watched a YouTube #Health video designed to increase #MentalHealth literacy, while the control group watched a video similar in style but on a different topic. Before and after watching the publicly available YouTube #Health videos, #MentalHealth knowledge was assessed as a primary outcome through topic-specific quizzes and a self-report in a web-based survey. In addition, all participants were asked to rate the educational, visual, and overall quality of the YouTube #Health videos and their usability in school settings. The primary hypotheses were tested with ANOVAs. The quality and usability items were analyzed descriptively. Results: For the adolescents, there were significant main effects of time (F1,350=46.34, P

7/🧵 Why does this matter? Because when we blame parents for mental health conditions, we:
- Increase shame, guilt, and stress
- Delay proper treatment
- Ignore scientific evidence
- Perpetuate harmful myths
