Abstract：
Teachers\' mental health literacy (MHL) is fundamental for recognizing and assisting students with mental disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the World Health Organization School Mental Health Program (WHO-SMHP) in promoting MHL among secondary schools\' teachers in Qatar. We conducted a two-arm randomized control trial. Teachers working in governmental secondary schools were eligible for selection. A total of 16 schools (8 intervention, 8 control) randomly selected and stratified by gender then randomly assigned (1:1). Participants and study team were aware of group assignment. Assessment of teachers\' MHL was at day 0, 3 then 3 months afterward. Bivariat analysis and Generalized Estimating Equations were used in analysis. The primary outcome was teachers MHL. Secondary outcome was the influence of sociodemographic characteristics on the level of MHL. Between October 30, 2018 and March 21, 2019, we randomly assigned 195 teachers from 16 schools to attend training workshop on WHO-SMHP (n = 95) or usual practice (n = 100). Compared with controls, teachers from intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in the level of MHL at day three (mean difference = 19.1, 95% CI = 17.0-21.2, Cohen\'s d = 2.63; p < 0.001).) and after three months (mean difference 16.61, 95% CI = 13.96-19.26, Cohen\'s d = 1.86; p < 001). There were no significant differences related to influence of other variables on MHL. To our knowledge, this is the first trial to prove the effectiveness of the (WHO-SMHP) in promoting teachers MHL, which can be successfully implemented in a wider scale.
摘要：
教师的心理健康素养（MHL）是识别和帮助患有精神障碍的学生的基础。这项研究的目的是评估世界卫生组织学校心理健康计划（WHO-SMHP）在卡塔尔中学教师中推广MHL的有效性。我们进行了一项双臂随机对照试验。在政府中学工作的教师有资格被选拔。共有16所学校(8所干预,8个对照）随机选择并按性别分层，然后随机分配（1：1）。参与者和研究小组知道小组分配。对教师MHL的评估是在第0天，第3天，然后是第3个月。在分析中使用双变量分析和广义估计方程。主要结果是教师MHL。次要结果是社会人口统计学特征对MHL水平的影响。在2018年10月30日至2019年3月21日期间，我们随机分配了来自16所学校的195名教师参加关于WHO-SMHP（n=95）或常规实践（n=100）的培训研讨会。与对照组相比，干预组教师在第3天的MHL水平有显著改善(平均差异=19.1,95%CI=17.0-21.2,Cohen'sd=2.63;p<0.001).)和三个月后(平均差16.61，95%CI=13.96-19.26，科恩d=1.86；p<001)。其他变量对MHL的影响无显著差异。据我们所知,这是证明（WHO-SMHP）在促进教师MHL方面的有效性的第一个试验，可以在更广泛的范围内成功实施。
