  • Summary

    Statistics is often cited as one of the more difficult topics examined in the Part 1 MRCOG. Some candidates avoid the subject and hope to compensate by higher scoring in other subjects. This is unwise as the statistical component of the examination is significant and is also an easy way to gain substantial marks. While writing questions for the Part I examination and running Part I courses, it became obvious that the types of statistical questions asked were very limited with a repetitive nature (though, of course, the numbers are changed). This synoptic chapter will give you the appropriate level of knowledge of statistics required for the Part I examination.

  • Background

    Little is known about the efficacy of educational interventions for reducing the stigma associated with depression.

    Aims

    To investigate the effects on stigma of two internet depression sites.

    Method

    A sample of 525 individuals with elevated scores on a depression assessment scale were randomly allocated to a depression information website (BluePages), a cognitive–behavioural skills training website (MoodGYM) or an attention control condition. Personal stigma (personal stigmatising attitudes to depression) and perceived stigma (perception of what most other people believe) were assessed before and after the intervention.

    Results

    Relative to the control, the internet sites significantly reduced personal stigma, although the effects were small. BluePages had no effect on perceived stigma and MoodGYM was associated with an increase in perceived stigma relative to the control. Changes in stigma were not mediated by changes in depression, depression literacy or cognitive–behavioural therapy literacy.

    Conclusions

    The internet warrants further investigation as a means of delivering stigma reduction programmes for depression.
