Super Skills for Life (SSL) is a transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral protocol developed for children aged 6 to 12 with anxiety and comorbid problems (e.g., depression, low self-esteem, and lack of social skills). SSL consists of eight sessions targeting common risk factors for internalizing disorders such as cognitive distortions, avoidance, emotional management, low self-esteem, social skills deficits and coping strategies. The aim of the study is to investigate the short- and long-term effects of SSL on internalizing and externalizing symptoms in Spanish children attending the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
The goal of this study is to test whether an investigational mobile app can be a helpful treatment option for adolescents with symptoms of depression. Adolescents aged 13 to 21 with depression symptoms can be part of this study if eligible. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive the mobile app intervention in addition to their usual care and the other group will simply continue their usual care for symptoms of depression. Both groups will have 5 weeks to use a study app, and will complete assessments during the intervention period, at post-intervention, and at one month follow-up.
Sustained negative mood and depression are characterized by functional impairment, and significant reduction in quality of life. Cognitive models of depression emphasize the role of impaired cognitive control - the mental abilities determining goal directed behaviors - in contributing to depressive symptoms. Indeed, research findings from subclinical and clinical populations show that depressive symptoms are associated with decreased cognitive control abilities. The THRIVE trial is a double-blind, proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial (RCT). The aims of the study are to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of an innovative, custom-made tablet video game, Legends of Hoa'manu (LOH), which is designed to enhance cognitive control, in alleviating mood and improving cognitive control in adults. Participants with mild to major depressive symptoms will be randomized to receive either LoH or a control intervention. Cognitive control, mood and depressive symptoms will be assessed at baseline, post training, after at a 3-week and a 3-month follow up.
This study aims to assess what benefit, if any, an individualized coping plan and facilitating connections to care through referral coordination in conjunction with culturally tailored caring messages, (herein called the +Connection is Medicine intervention (Navajo Nation study name; +CiM)/The Healing Spirits Program (White Mountain Apache Tribe Study Name; HSP) have on the mental health of American Indian (AI) youth and caregivers who were previously identified as having high levels of anxiety and depression as part of their participation in a cohort study called Project SafeSchools (NIH Grant No.: OT2HD107543).
The primary goal of this study is to test a minority stress model of psychological health outcomes for Black sexual minority men (BSMM) while using and not using a novel intervention named THRIVE 365. THRIVE 365 combines mHealth and institutional support elements to provide four areas of support for BSMM: 1) Promote HIV and psychological health knowledge and motivation; 2) Foster a sense of community and positive social connections among BSMM; 3) Connect clients to BSMM-affirming healthcare, including HIV treatment and mental healthcare; 4) Provide resources for housing, transportation, and other economic empowerment. To examine the effects of the intervention, we will utilize a 14-day daily diary study to capture daily intervention engagement, HIV and psychological health outcomes, coping, and experiences of racial and sexual minority stressors. We will first examine main associations between intervention engagement and HIV (antiretroviral treatment use) and psychological health (depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, emotion regulation difficulties outcomes) outcomes, then consider how intervention engagement affects coping and attenuates the impacts of racial and sexual minority stressors during the 14 day period.
The goal of this study is to examine the effect of chronic and acute hyperglycemia in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) on brain glutamate levels using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and associations of brain glutamate with symptoms of depression.
This study evaluates the addition of virtual therapy intervention in the treatment of depression in the elderly. Half of the participants will receive virtual reality treatment as an addition to physical exercises and psychoeducation, while the other half will receive physical exercises and psychoeducation alone.
The present project is designed to address the problem of elevated depression and stress among health care workers (HCWs). Investigators will test the extent to which a 12-week mobile health aerobic exercise intervention (4 days/week for 20 minutes/day) impacts HCWs reported depression. Investigators propose a 2-arm (exercise and waitlist control) parallel randomised controlled trial, with 560 underactive participants recruited from Providence Health Care. Participants will complete an online questionnaire (baseline and every 2 weeks until week 12, and again at week 24) assessing depressive symptoms (primary outcome), stress, flourishing, resilience, life satisfaction, burnout, work-family spillover, , sleep quality, workplace engagement, and absenteeism (secondary outcomes).
The aim of this pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is to test whether brief mindfulness-based practices will improve well-being and health in women (age 30-50) with a history of early life adversity. Following a baseline visit (remotely via Zoom), participants are randomized (50% probability) to either a Mindful Activity group or a Mindful Awareness group. In the Mindful Activity group, participants will complete brief (approximately 5-10 min) audio-guided mindfulness practices twice a day (morning and evening) for 8 weeks using the study app. This is followed by a brief survey about their current thoughts and feelings. In the Mindful Awareness group, participants are asked to be mindful (pay attention) to their thoughts and feelings twice a day (morning and evening) for 8 weeks using the study app. After the 8-week intervention period, all participants complete a follow-up visit (remotely). Primary goals of the pilot RCT are to test acceptability, feasibility, and adherence.
