Abstract

Background: Mental health literacy can potentially be improved through a public mental health campaign. The aim of the campaign Every Mind Matters (EMM) was to support adults to help address common subclinical mental health problems and improve their mental well-being and literacy, by using its National Health Service-endorsed digital resources.

Aims: Although not an objective of the campaign itself, this study aims to (a) address the relationship of EMM through the use of general practitioners and mental health therapists and (b) explore the association of EMM with symptom management knowledge.

Method: Health Survey for England 2019 data were obtained on campaign awareness, uptake of campaign materials and the use of general practitioners and therapists. Logistic regression models were used to explore the impact of the campaign on whether services were used, and ordered logistic models explored the impact on the number of contacts. Campaign costs were viewed alongside symptom management outcomes.

Results: The analyses included 2023 individuals. Of those campaign aware, 16% had contact with a general practitioner for mental health reasons compared with 9% of those who were campaign unaware. Those who were campaign aware were also significantly more likely to have seen a mental health therapist. The campaign cost per unit improvement in symptom management knowledge was below £20.

Conclusions: Contact with general practitioners and therapists was associated with campaign awareness. If even a small proportion of symptom management knowledge improvement is due to the campaign, then it has the potential to be cost-effective. Further work is required to establish this.

公共心理健康运动与卫生服务使用的关系以及与症状管理知识的关联

背景：心理健康素养可以通过公共心理健康运动得到潜在的提高。“每个人的思想都很重要”（EMM）运动的目的是通过使用国家卫生服务支持的数字资源，支持成年人帮助解决常见的亚临床心理健康问题，提高他们的心理健康水平和识字率。目的：虽然不是活动本身的目标，但本研究旨在(a)通过使用全科医生和心理健康治疗师来解决EMM的关系，(b)探索EMM与症状管理知识的关联。方法：获得2019年英格兰健康调查数据，包括运动意识、运动材料的使用以及全科医生和治疗师的使用。使用逻辑回归模型来探索活动对服务是否被使用的影响，并使用有序逻辑模型来探索对接触数量的影响。活动成本与症状管理结果一起被观察。结果：分析包括2023名个体。在了解运动的人中，16%的人因心理健康原因与全科医生接触，而在不了解运动的人中，这一比例为9%。那些意识到竞选的人也更有可能去看心理健康治疗师。症状管理知识每单位改善的活动成本低于20英镑。结论：与全科医生和治疗师的接触与运动意识有关。如果即使只有一小部分症状管理知识的改进是由于该活动，那么它就有可能具有成本效益。需要进一步的工作来确定这一点。
