Abstract: Objective: Understanding how people respond to information about treatment options is important for informing efforts that promote treatment initiation and adherence. We examined the impact of informational treatment videos on treatment naive participants' views regarding the credibility of and their expectations for three treatment options. Materials and Methods: Adults (N = 300) who had experienced elevated depressive symptoms but had not participated in a treatment for depression were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. Three of the conditions were shown videos, providing information about (1) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), (2) antidepressant medication (ADM), or (3) the combination of CBT and ADM. The fourth condition was not shown a video. Participants' self‐reported views of the credibility of and expectations for treatment served as primary outcome variables. Results: Compared with the control condition, videos about active treatments enhanced credibility and expectations for those treatments. When comparing CBT and ADM alone, messaging about either treatment enhanced credibility of and expectations for that treatment. The CBT only video produced the most positive expectations and highest credibility for CBT. Likewise, the ADM only video led to the most positive expectations and credibility for ADM. The video focused on combined treatment did not lead to particularly positive views of the combined treatment option. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the importance of providing focused messaging to enhance the credibility of and expectations for treatment. Future research is needed to examine the impact of messaging in different contexts, as well as the impact of such messaging on treatment seeking, adherence, and outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
