Get Out of Your Head 2.0: Evaluation of an Online Prevention Campaign and Updated Website for Men

Обзор

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the perceptions and evaluations of men with suicidal thoughts, regarding the new "Get Out of Your Head" campaign and the updated website. The findings will inform potential adjustments to enhance the campaign and website as needed.

Подробное описание

In a previous study (BUN: B6702024000090) the authors focused on identifying these barriers and needs among adult men experiencing suicidal thoughts and their healthcare providers. Findings from this needs assessment suggest that men with suicidal ideation often perceive a lower need for help and hold attitudes that inhibit help-seeking and sustained engagement in care. These attitudes appear closely linked to societal gender norms around emotional openness, self-reliance, and the perceived responsibility to provide for a family. Furthermore, men experiencing suicidal thoughts expressed a desire for information on certain topics that may currently be unavailable.

To address these gaps, a new awareness campaign is being developed, alongside updates to the existing "Get out of your head" website (original: www.komuitjekop.be), incorporating necessary information. The campaign and website updates are being shaped through a participatory co-creation process involving men with a history of suicidal thoughts to ensure relevance and leverage their experiential knowledge (BUN: B6702024000420). In this approach, men with lived experience are central to the decisions on the design and content of the tools. Additionally, input from experts in healthcare and masculinity, as well as international research, is being integrated.

Once the campaign is developed and the website (www.komuitjekop.be) is updated, the authors aim to evaluate how these resources are perceived by men with suicidal thoughts to further refine these suicide prevention efforts.

The primary objective of the current study is to evaluate the perceptions and evaluations of men with suicidal thoughts, regarding the new "Get Out of Your Head" campaign and the updated website. The findings will inform potential adjustments to enhance the campaign and website as needed.
