Filter by:This study aims to examine whether the online suicide prevention campaign for men could increase openness about emotions and help-seeking behavior, and decrease hopelessness and adherence to traditional gender norms concerning self-reliance among men. The effectiveness of the campaign will be evaluated in adult men using a pre-post questionnaire study design.
Investigators will assess the efficacy of a physician popular opinion leader-led intervention to increase awareness and utilization of existing evidence-based coaching or therapy among post-graduate clinical trainees at Stanford.
This study aimed at testing the effectiveness of a longitudinal intervention in increasing college students' intention to seek mental help during the pandemic.
Online survey measuring pre-post stigma and intentions to seek care for musculoskeletal injuries using peer and authority-delivered health promotion videos.
Communication and Recovery Enhancement (CARE) is a 2-session early intervention for survivors of recent sexual assault and their supporters that aims to improve supporters' ability to respond effectively. The goal of this pilot trial is to understand the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of two versions of CARE: a version in which survivors and supporters attend both sessions together (dyadic CARE) and a version in which supporters attend sessions alone (supporter-only CARE). Survivors aged 14+ with elevated posttraumatic stress symptoms will enroll with a supporter of their choosing. Dyads will be randomized to dyadic CARE, supporter-only CARE, or waitlist control, and will complete self-report assessments at baseline, post-session-1, and follow-ups (1, 2, and 3 months post-baseline). Results will be used to inform future changes to CARE and determine whether a fully-powered randomized controlled trial is warranted.
The mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to be vast, exceeding the capacity of mental health services and delaying treatment for people in need, with devastating consequences for those affected. Emerging data suggest that frontline health workers (e.g. physicians, nurses, EMTs) and essential workers (in industries such as energy, and food products and services) face particular risks for mental health problems during and after the COVID-19 outbreak. To address the unprecedented mental health needs during and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic this study will develop and test novel, cost-effective and scalable, digitally-delivered mental health interventions, and will test this approach by focusing on health care workers and other essential workers.
The positive effects of fever are supported by a number of physiological, pathophysiological and clinical evidence. However, the negative attitude toward fever is widespread and have become persistent. According to sociological research, this is based on two main factors: comfort and fear. To change this negative attitude, awareness needs to be raised and the attitude toward fever among health care workers and the lay public needs to be reframed positively. Furthermore, the role of media users is essential, especially among the young generation. The current Hungarian recommendation/protocol is valid since 2011 (Professional protocol of the Ministry of National Resources: Caring for a child with fever, the recommendation of the College of Pediatric and Pediatric However, the practical implementation among health professionals and the laity public is low. Based on this protocol and current international guidelines (NICE) clinicians developed a protocol and register, where parents and caregivers can document the symptoms and runoff of fever as well as receive feedback on severity and appropriate management. The project aims to increase the evidence-based (EBM) guideline adherence, to reduce the unnecessary use of antipyretics and antibiotics, as well as the load on the current healthcare system. The documentation of the collected data allows the investigators to map and analyze (stats) socio-demographic behavior both on individual and societal level.
This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of Mental Health First Aid in the workplace. Half of the organisations will receive Mental Health First Aid training and half will receive treatment as usual (a brief consultation from Mental health First Aid England on mental health and well-being in the workplace).
Although there exist interventions that therapeutically impact suicide risk, the connection of individuals at elevated suicide risk to mental health care services remains an ongoing challenge. One persistent barrier to mental health service utilization is help-seeking stigma-that is, having negative beliefs about the implications of seeking help for mental health problems (e.g., "Seeking help means that I am weak"). Thus, to enhance mental health service use among at-risk individuals, efforts are needed to target help-seeking stigma. Preliminary data from our research group indicate that a novel computerized intervention based on cognitive therapy principles can demonstrably reduce help-seeking stigma and increase connection to care among young adults with untreated psychiatric disorders. However, this intervention has not been tested among individuals who are currently experiencing suicidal ideation and are not engaged in mental health treatment. Testing the efficacy of this computerized intervention among young adults at increased risk for suicide is necessary to address the unique challenge of linking at-risk individuals to potentially life-saving treatments. To this end, this study aims to test the efficacy of a brief web-based intervention, cognitive bias modification for help-seeking stigma (CBM-HS), designed to increase mental health help-seeking intentions and behaviors. A total of 78 young adults with current suicidal ideation who are not currently in treatment and who report elevated levels of help-seeking stigma will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (1) CBM-HS; (2) CBM-Placebo (i.e., a sham CBM condition analogous to a placebo pill in a pharmaceutical trial); or (3) psychoeducation. Participants will complete assessments at baseline, mid-intervention, post-intervention, and 2-month follow-up to determine the efficacy of CBM-HS in: (a) modifying stigma-related cognitions around mental health help-seeking and service use and (b) increasing treatment initiation and engagement. Moreover, we will test if reductions in stigma-related cognitions mediate the relationship between study condition and subsequent help-seeking behaviors. Findings from the proposed pilot randomized controlled trial have the potential to enhance connection to care among young adults at elevated suicide risk. Importantly, the brief, web-based nature of the intervention enhances its acceptability, feasibility, and scalability. Should CBM-HS demonstrate efficacy in reducing help-seeking stigma and enhancing connection to care among at-risk individuals, it has the potential to serve as a useful tool in suicide prevention efforts.
The primary objective of this embedded stepped-wedge, cluster randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of a classroom sensitization (intervention condition), over and above the school-level sensitization activities (control condition), on referrals to a host trial (examining the effectiveness of a problem-solving intervention delivered by lay counsellors). The primary hypothesis is that the classroom-level sensitization intervention will be associated with a higher overall referral rate into the host trial (i.e. the proportion of adolescents referred as a function of the total sampling frame in each condition). The secondary hypotheses are that, compared with the control condition, the intervention condition will be associated with a greater proportion of referred students who meet eligibility criteria for inclusion in the host trial and a greater proportion of students who self-refer. We will also explore whether there are any differences between conditions in terms of the severity of total symptoms and symptom subtypes presented by referred adolescents.
