q2 i? In the pilot RCT, exploratory effect sizes were small negative for mental health confidence (Cohen d=−0.32), hope (d=−0.45), and self-stigma (d=−0.33), and medium negative for personal recovery (d=−0.53), all with CIs crossing zero. → Lases Mitch N 2026

Intention-to-treat analysis of baseline-to-postintervention change in the pilot RCT (n=14 per group). Table 5 reports Cohen d=−0.32 (95% CI −1.07 to 0.42) for MHCS, −0.45 for HHI, −0.33 for ISMI-10, and −0.53 (95% CI −1.28 to 0.22) for MHRM. No formal hypothesis testing was conducted.
"We found small negative effect sizes for mental health confidence, hope and internalized stigma, and a medium negative effect size for personal recovery."
