摘要：I n recent years the promotion of mental health became a public health priority (World Health Organization, 2005). However, the lack of information regarding mental health issues, and mental illness stigma (Schulze et al., 2003; Dwight et al., 2005; Stuart, 2006; Patel et al., 2007) are significant barriers to such challenge. The recognition of these important barriers led to several mental health promotion and anti- stigma programmes to be launched worldwide (Wyn et al., 2000; MINDSET, 2002; Stuart, 2006; Tacker and Dobie, 2008). In this context, important anti-stigma campaigns were developed in countries such as United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Brazil. Nevertheless, other activities to fight stigma of mental illness were carried out in mid-sized European countries like Austria, Czech Republic, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and Turkey (Beldie et al., 2012). The In One Voice campaign, a brief social media intervention, was developed in Canada with two main goals: to raise mental health awareness and to improve attitudes of youth and young adults towards mental health issues. The purpose of the Livingston et al. (2012) article was the evaluation of the effectiveness of In One Voice campaign.
