“…Socio-demographic and socio-economic factors have been shown to influence the effectiveness and outcomes of health interventions. 75 A growing number of studies have revealed that gender dynamics affect outcomes aiming to introduce child and adolescent health-related-behavioural change. 76 As such, the regression models were stratified after multiple observable confounders and had been controlled for by assessing the significance of the variability in mental health literacy across these groups.…”

Purpose Globally, adolescent mental health problems reportedly manifest more severely in individuals with lower mental health literacy. Mental health curriculum interventions using social media have been associated with positive implementation outcomes. This study aimed to investigate whether such an intervention significantly improves adolescent mental health literacy and is associated with positive implementation outcome measures. Methods This study employed a quasi-experimental design, comparing the before-and-after difference between the intervention group (n 1 =77) and the control group (n 1 =76). A mental health literacy module was delivered using social media. Data were collected using validated questionnaires. Effect size and difference-in-differences model calculations (and associated 95% confidence intervals, CI) were conducted alongside other descriptive analyses. Results The estimated intervention effect size and difference-in-differences estimates were greater than zero. The effect was greater in the intervention than in the control group (p<0.05) despite sex and age differences. The effect size estimate provided by Cohen’s d and Hedges’ g values was medium-to-large (d/g=0.429–0.767, p<0.05). The difference-in-differences reflected a significant effect (DID=0.348, CI: 0.154–0.542, p<0.001) in increasing mental health literacy despite differences associated with sex, age, and school grade. The intervention program was acceptable, appropriate, feasible, and satisfactory, and more than 80% of participants said they agree to completely agree with these implementation outcomes. Resources and personal and family-related factors were among the perceived influencing factors determining the effectiveness and implementation outcome measures. Conclusion The intervention program effectively improved the mental health literacy of adolescents. It has been highlighted that social media interventions for mental health promotion could be practical and scalable; however, there is a need to take into account socio-demographic differences and barriers to inclusion/compliance.

“…The survey included a self-assessment, evaluating students' perceived abilities to perform each of the module's learning objectives, both after the module and retrospectively to before the module, on a Likert scale from 'Not at all' (1) to 'Very much' (5). Items to measure attitudes towards SDH were derived from a questionnaire previously developed (Fuller et al, 2016;Lemstra, Neudorf, and Beaudin, 2007) with permission from the senior co-author of the questionnaire, Cory Neudorf. An item asked participants "Would you say that people with low income or low education are much less likely, less likely, equally likely, more likely, or much more likely to suffer from poor health than people with a high income?…”

Background: Education in social determinants of health (SDH) has become an important part of medical curricula, facilitated increasingly through students' experiential learning with communities. The Community and Workplace Centred Learning Experience (CWCLE) module of the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, aims to integrate and extend second-year medical students' attitudes, skills, and knowledge about SDH and community resources. We aimed to 1) Assess module impact on student achievement of learning objectives, 2) Assess module impact on student attitudes toward SDH, 3) Obtain feedback from community partners and students about their community experiences, and 4) Use feedback to collaboratively develop recommendations to enhance the CWCLE module. Methods: We used a mixed-method approach to combine quantitative data with stories and personal experiences. We developed an online survey for two cohorts of students after completing the module, evaluating students' perceived abilities to perform the module's learning objectives and attitudes towards SDH. We invited representatives from community agencies involved in the CWCLE module to participate in focus groups. We also held separate focus groups with students who participated in the online survey to elaborate on their survey comments.

The second and third take-home messages were revised. The wording of the first objective and the statement of the level of significance were adjusted for clarity. In the methods of the qualitative component of this study, we included sentences describing the steps for the data analysis and specifying the responsible researchers and their approaches to this component of the study. Two supplementary files were added to the article with copies of the interview guides used in the focus groups with medical students and community agency representatives. Also, we included the available demographics from the focus group participants. Please note that we did not capture further demographic data from participants given that we focussed on the module evaluation rather than study participants. In the results section, we revised the language used to describe the finding within the themes. The identified themes were representative of the discussions in the focus group; although, there were diverse opinions within some of these. This language helped us to describe our findings in some of the components of the module that were controversially discussed, for example, regarding the Community Plunge and the reciprocity themes. Also, we kept the last two paragraphs of this section given that it was one of our objectives to collaboratively develop recommendations with
