Group I: Cognitive Bias Modification for Help-Seeking Stigma (CBM-HS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

CBM-HS is a 15-minute web-based intervention designed to alter maladaptive cognitions related to mental health help-seeking. In this task, individuals are presented with a series of statements regarding beliefs about using behavioral health services. Individuals then select "True" or "False" in response to each statement. Incorrect responses (i.e., demonstrating help-seeking stigma) are followed by corrective feedback. Conversely, correct responses (i.e., promoting help-seeking) are positively reinforced. Participants in this condition will complete three separate 15-minute CBM-HS sessions.

Group II: Self-Directed PsychoeducationActive Control1 Intervention

Participants randomized to this condition will review psychoeducation on mental health literacy, mental illness stigma, and treatment options. Readings will be compiled from resources available in the public domain. The duration will be comparable to the duration of study tasks for individuals in the CBM-HS study condition (i.e., three 15-minute sessions).

Group III: Placebo Cognitive Bias ModificationPlacebo Group1 Intervention

Participants randomized to this condition will complete a CBM task with a neutral stimuli. The duration of the CBM-Placebo task will be comparable to the duration of the CBM-HS task (i.e., three 15-minute sessions).
