Changing attitudes towards seeking help for mental health problems among PhD students with an asynchronous, anonymous webinar: a mixed-methods study
The webinar improved PhD students' attitudes towards help-seeking for mental health issues. A larger scale randomised controlled trial is needed to determine the potential efficacy of the webinar in enabling students to seek help when experiencing mental health difficulties. The webinar could be integrated into online university student support services to encourage help-seeking for mental health problems.
