Filter by:In this study the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of Mindhelper.dk, which is the most comprehensive online youth mental health promotion service in Denmark. A minimum of 9,426 young people aged 15 to 25 will be recruited through social media and invited to participate in the study. When responding to the baseline questionnaire participants will be randomized to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive information about Mindhelper.dk and inspiration on how to use Mindhelper through text-messages during the study period. The control group does not receive information about Mindhelper.dk, until after completion of the last follow-up questionnaire. Three follow-up questionnaires will then be sent to the participants 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 12 weeks after randomization. The investigators expect a small, positive effect on participants well-being and psychological functioning in intervention groups as compared to the control group.
The goal of the clinical trial is to test whether a mental health program that is delivered through the Internet works well for children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their healthy siblings. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the program improve the mental health such as depression and anxiety symptoms? - Does the program improve overall quality of life? - Does the program improve self-efficacy - an individual's belief in their ability to complete tasks to achieve their goals? Participants will: - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their personal and health information, as well as their mental health before the program - Complete the online mental health program - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their mental health after completing the program, and 1-month and 3-months following completing the program Participants be compared against another group of children with CF and their healthy siblings who are on a waitlist and receiving usual CF treatment. Researchers will compare participants scores before starting the program with their scores immediately following completing the program, 1-month, and 3-month after completing the program. Researchers hope to develop a program that improves mental health, quality of life, self-efficacy, and knowledge about CF.
The goal of the clinical trial is to test whether a mental health program that is delivered through the Internet works well for healthy children and adolescents with siblings with cystic fibrosis (CF). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the program improve the mental health and quality of life of healthy siblings? - Does the program improve the relationship between healthy children and adolescents and their sibling with CF? - Does the program help healthy siblings learn about CF? Participants will: - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their family and mental health before the program - Complete the online mental health program over five weeks - Fill out a weekly question asking about their mood for 10 weeks - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their family and mental health after the program Healthy children and adolescents with siblings with CF will be compared against themselves. Researchers will compare participants scores before starting the program with their scores during and after completing the program. Researchers hope to develop a program that improves mental health, quality of life, sibling relationships, and knowledge about CF.
Engaging patients through integration of patient-reported outcome measures in routine clinical care can improve the patient experience and provide a systematic way to collect adverse event (AE) data. Collecting these data on a large scale can inform new solutions to longstanding barriers to successful treatment such as medication non-adherence. This study evaluated whether implementing a patient-reported outcome data collection and AE surveillance tool would result in greater treatment continuation for patients receiving care on a telehealth platform. We evaluated how this data collection and surveillance tool - a short prompt for patients to provide information on treatment satisfaction and side effects - impacted the outcome of interest, treatment continuation. We tested two cycles in n=2,000 patients receiving care for erectile dysfunction on a telehealth platform using a randomized control experimental design and accounted for incidents where true randomization was not possible during implementation. The first cycle tested the tool alone, while the second cycle tested the tool in conjunction with a messaging template system that provided standardized side effect counseling.
The goal of this observational study is to test the usability of the SOSteniamoci platform, culturally adapted from the Lithuanian context, for informal caregivers in Italy. The main goals were to (1) collect qualitative and quantitative data on usability and (2) identify usability problems. A balanced gender-age sample of 10 individuals meeting the inclusion criteria was consecutively recruited online. The think-aloud testing method, the system usability scale, and an ad hoc semi-structured interview were employed to determine the overall system usability.
Even though internet-based interventions have been used in treatment of forensic psychiatric outpatients for over ten years, no robust research into their effectiveness has taken place. Multiple potential benefits and barriers have been observed in clinical practice, such as the possibility to increase a patient's treatment readiness, self-efficacy and thus reduce undesired behaviour such as reactive aggression. However, therapists indicate that these interventions do not seem to work for all forensic psychiatric patients, and that uptake is generally quite low. There is an urgent need to evaluate if and how these internet-based interventions are of added value for treatment of forensic psychiatric outpatients. The main goal of this study is to investigate whether the addition of the existing internet-based intervention 'Aggression' to treatment as usual of forensic psychiatric outpatients leads to better treatment outcomes than treatment as usual that is delivered solely in-person. This study uses a multicentre mixed methods randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, with four participating Dutch forensic psychiatric outpatient care organizations. Patients are included if they receive outpatient treatment for aggression regulation problems and will be randomized into an experimental condition, in which the internet-based intervention is added to treatment as usual (TAU), or a control condition, with only TAU. Participants are assessed four times: at baseline (T0), halfway during the 10-week intervention (T1), after completing the intervention (T2), and after three months (T3). Primary outcome measures are regulatory emotional self-efficacy, treatment readiness, and aggression, assessed via validated self-report questionnaires. Secondary outcome measures are the number of in-person treatment sessions during the data collection, and dynamic risk factors. Adherence to and engagement will be studied as potential predictors for effectiveness via respectively log data and a self-report questionnaire. Perceived benefits, barriers and points of improvement will be identified via qualitative interviews with participating patients and therapists. This will be the first experimental study to investigate an internet-based intervention in a forensic psychiatric outpatient sample. By using a mixed-methods design and by adding adherence and engagement as potential predictors, this study can not only answer questions about if, but also why and for whom this intervention works. Consequently, this study will answer an important question from clinical practice: are these types of interventions - which have been used in practice for over ten years - actually of added value for treatment?
History and scientific evidence show that it is critical to maintain public trust and confidence in vaccination. Any crisis in confidence has the potential to cause significant disruption and a detrimental impact on vaccination. Vaccine hesitancy is a complex and context-specific issue that varies across time, place, and vaccines. It has been cited by World Health Organization(WHO) as one of the top ten threats to global health in 2019. Coronavirus disease(COVID-19) pandemic may change public confidence in vaccines. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a surveillance system to monitor vaccine confidence and hesitancy in real time. To date, a growing body of literature has used social media platforms such as Twitter and weico for public health research. Large amounts of real time data posted on social media platforms can be used to quickly identify the public's attitudes on vaccines, as a way to support health communication and health promotion, messaging. However, textual data on social media is difficult to be analyzed. Recent progress in machine learning makes it possible to automatically analyze textual data on social media in real time. In this study, the investigators will establish a social media surveillance and analysis platform on vaccines, develop a series of machine learning models to monitor vaccine confidence and early detect emerging vaccine-related risks, and assess public communication around vaccines. The investigators will assess the temporal and spatial distribution of vaccine confidence and hesitancy globally using Twitter data and in China using weico data, for all vaccines and Human Papilloma Virus(HPV) vaccine, respectively. Our study will guide the design of effective health communication strategies to improve vaccine confidence.
The current study is a feasibility pilot of the Lausanne Trialogue Play paradigm Intervention - Brief (LTP-Brief), a family systems therapy implemented in a community mental health setting. We will study the ultrabrief, virtual therapy to assess the feasibility of a future pilot RCT. Feasibility metrics include resource, scientific, and management considerations, as well as an examination of pre-post change in future child and family outcomes of interest.
Recent evidence has shown that intervention programs for remarried people are scarce. Furthermore, from what is known, no specific intervention models (traditional or web-based) has yet been developed for remarried Portuguese population. This study evaluates the efficacy of a web-based Psychoeducational Simulation Game on marital adjustment on marital social skills, on remarriage beliefs, on parenting attitudes, and on the stepfamily functioning.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a population-level threat to social relationships that requires a population-level solution. Among those who are particularly vulnerable to heightened conflict are interparental couples with young children, whose relationships may have already been under pressure prior to the pandemic. Reduced couples' satisfaction has been reported since the start of the pandemic, with over one-third of romantic partners reporting heightened conflict due to COVID-19. Couples are likely to stay in disharmonious relationships during times of socioeconomic upheaval, with the potential for relationship problems to persist over time. This may have serious implications for the mental health of parents, parent-child relationships, and children's emotional and behavioural problems (EBPs). Such a pattern is a societal concern given the known associations between couples' relationship quality and a number of critical indicators of population health, such as intimate partner violence, physical health and all-cause mortality, and economic instability, particularly for women. The current study protocol is for a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Love Together Parent Together (L2P2) program-a brief, low-intensity, scalable relationship intervention for parents of young children. The two-arm (treatment vs. waitlist) pilot RCT will assess the feasibility goals: continued relationship-building with established recruitment partners and outreach to additional recruitment partners to increase enrolment rates; recruitment of a diverse sample in terms of sociocultural identity factors, pandemic-related stress, and relationship distress; acceptability of randomization; outcome assessment schedule completion (for treatment and control groups), retention and adherence to the program; and program acceptability. Additionally, the investigators will conduct a preliminary evaluation of treatment effects by examining group differences in couples-focused (i.e., couples' relationship, conflict-related negativity, interparental functioning) and family-focused outcomes (i.e., parent-child relations, parent mental health and child outcomes). A scalable couples-focused intervention is critically needed to circumvent the social consequences of the pandemic on young families.
