Alcohol use disorder was the most stigmatized mental health condition, leading to greater help-seeking compared to depression and bulimia.
Participants generally held positive attitudes towards mental health, although stigma varied significantly across different disorders.
The use of video vignettes allowed for a controlled examination of stigma and help-seeking attitudes in a diverse sample of 554 young people.
The findings indicate the need for interventions that specifically address stigma towards certain mental health conditions in youth.
