We would like to acknowledge the collaboration of the following schools located in Brescia (Italy): Liceo Scientifico di Stato Annibale Calini, Istituto Maddalena di Canossa, Liceo delle scienze umane Fabrizio De André, Liceo Veronica Gambara. Invaluable assistance in coordinating the program in each school was provided by Massimo Patelli, Chiara Baronchelli, Margherita Leone, Palmira Filippini and Monica Taraschi. We are also immensely grateful to Guido Uggeri, master of art of the “Bottega dell'Arte” for his expertise and capacity to instill his knowledge with great humanity, and the Associazione Sasso nello Stagno for supporting the Art-Lab and DeePression exhibition. We would also like to show our gratitude to the members of SISM Segretariato Italiano Studenti in Medicina – Brescia who voluntary conducted dispeer-education interventions in the schools. We also would like to thank Prof Albano Morandi for delivering the DeePression exhibition venue. Lastly, we wish to thank all of the artists from the “Bottega dell'Arte” and the students who volunteered to take part to the study.

N2 - Poor knowledge and stigma toward people with mental illness negatively affect intentions to seek help among adolescents. The study aimed to assess the impact of three school-based interventions and to explore whether positive changes in attitudes were linked to more favorable changes in desire for social distance and seeking help. A total of 221 upper secondary students were allocated to three interventions: 1. social contact; 2. Mental Health Literacy (MHL) conducted by clinicians; 3. MHL conducted by dis-peer instructors. Measures of knowledge, attitudes, views on empowerment and recovery, willingness to interact, and help seeking were collected. Generalized Estimating Equations and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were used to evaluate scores differences between interventions through time, and to test the interrelationships between knowledge, attitudes variables and the two outcomes of interest. Findings showed that all groups improved in knowledge, attitudes, empowerment, willingness to interact, and seeking help. SEM revealed that the increase in knowledge was significantly associated with the General attitudes toward people with mental illness construct that, in turn, was positively associated with willingness to interact and seeking help. Results encourage the use of anti-stigma interventions in order to decrease negative attitudes toward mental illness and improve behavioral intentions among students. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
