Summary

Mental health literacy (MHL) is necessary for the prevention, detection, and treatment of eating disorders, whereas the MHL about eating disorders is inadequate in China. Thus, the current study aimed to improve the MHL for eating disorders among Chinese adolescents via a brief online intervention.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

MHL intervention

The current MHL intervention is a brief online intervention and comprises two modules. The first module is a short video introducing a teenage girl with bulimia nervosa. The second module is an online lecture comprising information about eating disorders including the prevalence, symptoms, type, cause, treatment, a related symptom checker, and sources of help. The above two modules are implemented in a single session lasting approximately 2 hours.

BEHAVIORAL

Waiting list

Participants assigned to the waiting list group will not receive any intervention until the end of the 12 weeks follow-up. They received the same intervention as the MHL intervention group after the 12 weeks follow-up test.
