  • Depression scores before, during and after the Facebook intervention

 

Findings included:

  • Depression scores decreased for Facebook group members, but NOT for the control group

  • 88% of Facebook members looked at YBMen posts every week

  • 63% of Facebook members actively participated each week

  • 100% of participants felt Black men should be concerned about their mental health
