No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Individuals who report experiencing any kind of abuse during childhood report shame and self-blame, often leading to self-stigma and a reluctance to reveal their experiences and seek help. Such stigma may aggravate the mental health consequences of child maltreatment (CM).

The investigators hypothesize that:

1. The brief video-based intervention will have the immediate and repeated effect of reducing self-stigma among CM survivors compared with the control condition.
2. The brief video-based intervention will increase seeking treatment compared with the control condition.
3. The brief video-based intervention will show similar effects in reducing self-stigma across multiple countries.
