澳大利亚研究团队对2011-2019年间9年的人口数据进行分析，评估了每年9月第二个星期四举行的"R U OK? Day"心理健康宣传活动的实际效果1。研究发现，该活动产生了可衡量的心理福祉改善，相当于使平均人群的心理福祉水平从第50百分位数提升至第53百分位数1。其中，25-49岁男性群体的改善效果最为显著，达到平均水平的两倍1。此外，研究显示这一活动增强了人们对拥有支持者的认知感受1。
然而，研究也揭示了该活动的局限性1。在全国范围内，研究未发现因活动而增加的心理健康治疗计划就医次数或精神类药物处方填充1。这表明，虽然公众意识宣传活动能够提升人们的心理福祉感受，但在促进人们获得正式心理健康医疗干预方面效果有限1。
An Australian research team has analyzed nine years of population data to assess the impact of "R U OK? Day," an annual mental health awareness campaign held on the second Thursday of September.1 The study found measurable improvements in psychological wellbeing following the initiative, though the benefits came with notable limitations.1
The research, which examined data spanning 2011 to 2019, revealed that the campaign's effect was equivalent to shifting the average person's mental wellbeing from the 50th percentile to the 53rd percentile.1 The improvement was particularly pronounced among men aged 25 to 49, whose mental wellbeing gains were approximately double the population average.1 Additionally, the campaign strengthened people's perceived sense of having supporters.1
However, the study uncovered a significant gap between awareness and action: there was no detected increase in either mental health treatment visits or psychiatric medication prescriptions nationwide following the campaign.1 This finding suggests that while public awareness initiatives like "R U OK? Day" have measurable value in enhancing psychological wellbeing and social connection, they may fall short in translating heightened awareness into greater engagement with professional mental health services.
