Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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.

Get Out of your head campaign and website 2.0
Participants in this group (all participants) are asked to complete a questionnaire (15-20 min). After completing these measures, participants will view the developed campaign materials (visuals) and will be asked to provide feedback. Subsequently, participants will receive a link to the website, along with instructions to review the new content pages. They will have three days to explore the site before receiving an email prompting them to complete the post-test questionnaire (10-15 min), which will take approximately 10-15 minutes. If the post-test is not completed after seven or eight days, a reminder will be sent.
Get out of your head campaign and website 2.0
The Get out of your head campaign and website were launched in 2022 to improve men's mental health and reduce stigma (Stas et al., 2024). Developed with experts, a communication agency, and the target audience, the campaign included videos, testimonies, and a website with tailored information on mental health, suicide prevention, and help-seeking (www.komuitjekop.be).
The new campaign and updated website will focus specifically on facilitating help-seeking behaviour among men experiencing suicidal thoughts by increasing their perceived need for support. More specifically, the new campaign will aim to enhance the recognition of their suffering, the relevance of seeking and receiving help and changing the perception of suicidal thoughts, namely that these are not fixed or part of life, but instead are changeable and can improve with the correct help.
