Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The intervention will consist of brief videos in which empowered members of the respective high-risk group (presented by actors) share their COVID-19 related mental health problems and describe how they were able to confront their mental health problems, which in turn helped them seek mental health care. The video will be followed by a short, interactive, digital behavioral change module. Within each high-risk group, individuals will first be randomized to receive the video (one time), video plus booster (second administration of the video), or non-intervention video control.
The study will randomize participants within each high-risk group into one of three arms:
1\) Video + Behavioral Change Module, with Booster: 2-3-minute video (in which empowered members of the respective high-risk group (protagonists) share their COVID-19 related mental health problems and describe how they were able to confront their mental health problems, which in turn helped them seek mental health care) will be followed by 3-4-minute online digital behavioral change modules at days 1 and 14 of the study ("video+booster"); 2) Video + Behavioral change modules without Booster: 2-3-minute video will be followed by 3-4-minute online digital behavioral change modules at day 1 only ("video"); 3) No Intervention video (Control Arm): Participants randomized to this arm will receive video not related to mental health ("control"). Following the intervention, the study includes three follow-ups (day 14, 30, and 90) to examine longer-term effects.

Video and behavioral change module (BCM) + booster
Participants will watch the video and read the BCM twice (day 1 and day 14)
Video _ behavioral change module
A short video (primary outcome) that aimed at reducing stigma towards treatments and increasing help seeking intentions.
The behavioral change module (secondary outcome) is aimed at changing behaviors of sleep, exercise and social support.
Video and behavioral change module (BCM)
Participants will watch the video and read the BCM once (day 1 only)
Video _ behavioral change module
A short video (primary outcome) that aimed at reducing stigma towards treatments and increasing help seeking intentions.
The behavioral change module (secondary outcome) is aimed at changing behaviors of sleep, exercise and social support.
Control
This arm will recieved the same length video with a content that is not related to mental health and no BCM
No interventions assigned to this group
