Sumario:This study sought to demonstrate key characteristics of successful mental health outreach (MHO) educational programs through an audio-visual tool addressing biogenic etiology of depression. Methods Candidate characteristics were identified based on review of MHO literature, evaluated through informal feedback sessions and finalized following committee and content expert review. Key characteristics indicative of successful visuals in MHO included emphasizing malleability of biology, familiar characters, and minimizing literacy barriers. Tools created for MHO should include these key characteristics.
