Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This cluster-randomized trial evaluated the Acceptance and Commitment to Empowerment (ACE) intervention, which integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with group empowerment psychoeducation, among Chinese university students. The study assessed changes in both explicit and implicit public stigma toward mental illness following a five-day experiential training and online course. Results indicated significant reductions in explicit stigma over time for the intervention group compared to controls, along with lower implicit stigma levels in the ACE group relative to the control group.
