The investigation focused on two key dimensions of stigma, which were social stigma and self- stigma. The research analyzed 71 individuals through both pre-intervention and post- intervention assessments using established stigma measurement tools. The video intervention succeeded in lowering the avoidance of help-seeking along with religious-related stigma, but statistical evidence did not support changes in either social stigma (p = .168) or self-stigma (p = .158) levels. The practical effect appeared to be limited based on the small effect sizes. The analysis of reliability demonstrated that the self-stigma scale achieved satisfactory internal consistency (α = 0.776), whereas the social stigma scale obtained only questionable reliability (α = 0.655). Short-term interventions cannot effectively address deeply rooted cultural stigmas, according to the study results, which demonstrate the need for enduring multi-level solutions that incorporate education and clinical support together with community engagement to combat mental health stigma in Arab and Muslim communities.enHUMANITIES and RELIGIONCultural Influences on Mental Health Stigma: How Society Views Mental HealthCapstone
