Assessment of Changes in Confidence, Attitude, and Knowledge of Non-Psychiatric Physicians Undergoing a Depression Training Program in Taiwan

Our study shows that even a brief educational program can positively influence the physicians' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in treating depression. Further work is needed to monitor whether the effects of training are long-term, and can be translated into behavioral change in practice.

Reducing mental health-related stigma in primary health care settings in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review

“…Two studies compared different curriculums or didactic methods (Shirazi et al ., 2009; Li et al ., 2015), but only one found significant group differences (Li et al ., 2015). Several studies showed a statistically significant change in total scores or subscales of questionnaires (da Silva Cais et al ., 2011; Wang et al ., 2012; Li et al ., 2014 a ; Li et al ., 2015; Hofmann-Broussard et al ., 2017), but these results must be interpreted with caution due to risk of bias.…”
