“…Based on these papers, it may be concluded that the education stand-alone intervention is likely to be effective for improving MHL among adolescents. The findings were consistent with a previous study [18]. The authors reported that knowledge about mental illness, attitudes about mental illness, willingness to interact with a mental illness, and help-seeking were significantly improved for the education and social contact intervention (P < 00.05).…”

Objective Mental health literacy (MHL) in adolescents is an important issue as it can lead to early detection and recognition of mental illness. The aim of this systematic review was to explore the effect of supporting interventions on improving MHL in adolescents. Methods Systematic literature review by searching the ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, Crochrane and CINAHL databases. Seven of 1107 papers were included in the final review. Results Supporting interventions for improving MHL in adolescents could be categorised into school‐based and community‐based. Both types used an education stand‐alone strategy or an education plus contact‐based group in their programmes. To provide knowledge of mental illness to adolescents, teaching methods should be interactive and use various media such as group discussion, videos and movies. Conclusions School‐based and community‐based interventions were likely to improve MHL among adolescents. However, further research with objective tool measures is needed to confirm the findings.

Background: Mental stigma represents a critical obstacle for delivering mental health care. Aims: To determine public stigma, knowledge & behaviors of the attendees of outpatient clinics towards People with Mental Illness (PWMI), King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in 2018. A sample of 600 attendees of outpatient clinics of KAUH were included. A standardized interviewing data collection sheet was used. It included three scales namely: the Community Attitudes towards the Mentally Ill (CAMI), Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS) & Reported and Intended Behavior Scale (RIBS). Authoritarian, socially restrictiveness, benevolent & Community Mental Health Ideology of CAMI sub-scales were calculated. Descriptive, inferential, and multiple linear regression analyses were applied. Results: About two-thirds of the participants agreed that mental illness causes lacking self-discipline & will power. Gender was significantly associated with all CAMI sub-scales (P < 0.01). An increasing level of knowledge about mental illness was associated with lower stigma towards PWMI (P< 0.001). After controlling confounders in regression analyses, gender and knowledge were significant predictors of all CAMI sub-scales. Concerning MAKS, about half of participants incorrectly identified stress & grief as types of mental illness. Regarding RIBS, living with (30.2%), and having a neighbor (28.8%) with mental illness were the commonest reported experiences. Conclusions: Negative attitudes towards PWMI still prevailed. Mental stigma was higher among males, older people, lower-educators, lower-income & those with poor mental knowledge. Participants had a moderate intention to accept PWMI. Anti-stigma intervention educational programs are required.

School is a protective factor to improve and promote mental health. Many mental health problems are experienced by school learners. From various interactions with the learners, teachers are expected capable to prevent and identify school learners' mental health problems. Although the human-teacher sources are high, they are not completely used to support learners' mental health problems. This research aims to find out the mental health literacy operational definition and the urgency of the mental health literacy of the teachers. This research applied for a systematic literature review from five search engines. They were Spingerlink, Science Direct, Jstor, Eric, and Pubmed. The applied keywords were "mental health literacy", "school", and "teacher". The taken references are from 1997 -2020. Six hundred and thirty-three articles were obtained from five search engines. From the systematic review, seven articles were obtained. An expanding concept of mental health definition was found from the initial concept proposed by Jorm. Clear concept definition influenced the measurement. Teachers must be aware of mental health literacy because they are the first lines to identify mental health problems of the learners, mostly found in 12 -25 years-old learners. Low teacher literacy at school about mental health problems experienced by learners led to serious impacts for them.
