Distress, Emotional Clinical Trial
— Mindset-PKOfficial title:
A 3-arm Multi-Center Exploratory Trial of Universally Delivered Interventions for Prevention of Anxiety and Depression in Young People in Pakistan
Mental health problems are amongst the major contributors to disease burden globally. According to a recent study, 34% of young people worldwide (aged 10-19) suffer from depression and more than half of this population belongs to Southeast Asia such as Pakistan, India, and China. Existing evidence shows that the access to mental health services in LMICs is limited and even fewer child psychiatric services are available. One approach to overcome barriers such as limited availability of trained mental health professionals and risk of stigma may involve the use of simple, brief, scalable interventions based on basic psychological principles rather than treatment of psychopathology. This study adapts and evaluates two brief interventions called behavioral activation single session intervention (BA-SSI) and 4-session Mindset intervention (MI) for teenage depression and anxiety in Pakistan, where access to mental health care is constrained by societal stigma and a shortage of clinicians.
