A new report discusses a feasibility study on a manualized mental health awareness and stigma reduction intervention for Black faith communities. The study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, as well as the recruitment of participants, delivery of the intervention, and qualitative assessments. The research will inform the development of a subsequent trial to explore the potential impact of the intervention on stigma-related knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. The study will involve 80 participants from four Black Majority Churches in South London, with outcomes collected at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 4-week follow-up. The results of the research will be disseminated at local, national, and international levels. [Extracted from the article]
