      ab: AbstractObjective: A web-based short training program with four modules aimed to improve mental health literacy and digital health literacy for Better Use of Internet to Learn about Depression and Anxiety (BUILDA). This paper reports on the evaluation of the BUILDA training effects in a multi-site controlled before-and-after study. Participants: 435 students at three US universities participated in this study. Methods: Student knowledge on depression and anxiety, their self-rated digital health literacy, and their ability to search and use Internet information on mental health topics were assessed in pre- and post- tests. Descriptive analyses and multiple regression tests were used. Results: BUILDA was associated with increased mental health literacies, digital health literacy, and better Internet search performance from pretest to post‑test. Conclusions: It was feasible and effective to deliver an online program to help students develop both mental health literacy and digital health literacy over a short training period.
