Twenty percent of all children struggle with mental health challenges, most of whom will remain unrecognized, unsupported, and unable to access quality care. A major barrier to closing this care gap is a lack of evidence-based delivery models that are contextualized to low-resource settings. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of teacher-delivered transdiagnostic mental healthcare for children in rural primary schools of India. Implementation process and context will also be examined. This is a stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trials (SW-CRCT), with an embedded qualitative evaluation, that will be conducted in low-cost private primary schools in the rural Darjeeling Himalayas of India. The primary outcome is children's mental health status measured by the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) Teacher Report Form and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include: 1) daily functioning measured by the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS-3), 2) academic achievement measured by the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) tool, and 3) school attendance. Outcome data will be collected at baseline and endline in each academic year. The primary analysis for each outcome is the mean score at endline for children receiving targeted intervention (Tealeaf: Mansik Swastha or Enhanced Usual Care) between trial arms. The primary hypothesis is that children receiving mental health struggles receiving the Tealeaf intervention will demonstrate improved mental health compared to children with mental health struggles receiving enhanced usual care. The goal of the embedded qualitative study will be to explore the effect of cultural and social context on intervention implementation and efficacy, how and why changes may occur, and the culture, context, and community in which the study occurs. This qualitative research will be driven by the scientific standard of advanced qualitative methods (ethnography and participant observation). This trial may offer a new approach to caring for children with mental health struggles that is potentially scalable in India as it empowers existing classroom teachers.
The overall RISE project aims to adapt, optimise and test a low-cost parenting programme for families in three southeastern European countries (North Macedonia, Republic of Moldova, Romania). Therefore, the investigators apply the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) and conduct the study over 3 phases: during the first Phase (Preparation) the feasibility of the intervention and the assessment and implementation procedures were tested in a small pilot study. In the second Phase (Optimization), 8 different programme combinations were tested in order to identify the most effective and cost-effective combination in the three countries. Now, in the third Phase (Evaluation), the optimised intervention identified in Phase 2 will be tested in a randomised controlled trial. The investigators also apply dimensions of the RE-AIM framework to maximise the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation within the existing service infrastructure and maintained use of the new intervention. For the current Phase 3, the investigators aim to recruit a total of 864 parents (n = 288 per country) of children with elevated child behaviour problems aged 2 to 9 years. After pre-assessment the families will be randomly assigned to the intervention group or the control group. Parents in the intervention group will receive a parenting programme (5 sessions, Parenting for Lifelong Health for Young Children, PLH-YC) and the parents in the control condition will receive one lecture on parenting (Raising Healthy Children). Parents will be asked to complete assessments after intervention completion (post-assessment) and 12 months after pre-assessment (follow-up assessment) in order to detect immediate and more longterm effects.
This study is a hybrid trial that examines both the clinical effectiveness and the implementation of BC4Teens Contraception Care. The investigators use a naturalistic one-group longitudinal study design to maximize feasibility and external validity, which is important for understanding implementation and effectiveness in real-world service delivery settings.
The objective of this non-randomized, within-group comparison was to evaluate the addition of mindfulness as a new technique in an outpatient group therapy program for participants diagnosed with a psychotic spectrum disorder, alongside of cognitive behavioral therapy.
The purpose of this study is to examine the lifestyle intervention on life quality and mental health among overweight adults with severe mental illness in Shenzhen, China. A total of 210 overweight adults with severe mental illness will be randomly allocated to intervention group and control group. Participants in the intervention groups will receive a 10-month lifestyle intervention while the control group will be waitlisted. A group of investigators will measure the anthropocentric indicators, blood pressure, lifestyle, life quality, and mental health for all participants.
The project aims to investigate the effects of a short-term cbt-based psychotherapy intervention for a diagnostically mixed group of psychiatric inpatients. In a multiple baseline single subject design, 5-10 patients with mixed diagnoses that are treated at any of the inpatient units at the Hospital of Västmanland, Västerås, Sweden, will be offered a short psychotherapeutic intervention. The intervention is cbt based, and consists of focused functional analysis with identification of the main problem to be treated; an experiential exercise called the life line, in which obstacles to living a valued life are investigated, and in which alternative steps to be taken in spite of psychiatric symptoms are formulated; a summary excercise called the pause, in which central principles of the treatment are repeated, and in which a relapse prevention plan is formulated. The intervention will consist of approximately 2-5 sessions. The primary research question is whether such an intervention is effective in terms of causal change in problem areas identified as personally meaningful by the individual patient.
The purpose of this study is to collect patients' experiences and feedback to better understand and improve mental health care using telehealth services. This is critically important as telehealth appointments, including both phone and video calls, continue to be offered for regular appointments to reduce in-person interaction as a preventive measure to help control the spread of COVID-19.
The investigators are modifying and testing the preliminary effectiveness and implementation of a Cognitive Behavioral Suicide Prevention for psychosis (CBSPp) intervention. In this phase of the study, CBSPp will be tested in an initial open trial (n = 10) to examine its feasibility and acceptability. Investigators will recruit clients receiving services at a community mental health setting who have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder and recent suicidal thoughts and behaviors to receive the behavioral intervention for 10-weeks. Providers will be recruited and trained to deliver the intervention. Both clients and providers will be assessed at baseline to test our approach to measurement prior to the Aim 2 RCT (registered separately). Clients will be assessed at three additional timepoints (middle of treatment, end of treatment, and 2 months after treatment ends.
The expansion project "Inclusive Plus", which is financed by Innosuisse, is based on a pilot project. The psychotherapeutic offer developed in the previous project for psychologically burdened adolescents and young adults to support them in their professional integration was revised and supplemented and is being reviewed in this project. In addition to the group psychotherapeutic intervention, 5 one-on-one interviews are offered as needed. In addition, regular further training courses on mental health and illness in adolescence are implemented. And finally, a conference is to promote cooperation between referring physicians and bridge offers. The intervention will be implemented in 5 cantons (Zurich, Berne, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden) and in 7 different bridge services. The program is aimed at adolescents and young adults between 16 and 29 years of age who have sufficient knowledge of German. Participation is voluntary and the group size for the psychotherapy group is limited to 8 participants. The main question is whether the integration of young people with mental stress into the labor market is more successful. At three points in time (entry, exit, six months after exit) changes in selected indicators (including work ability, mental health, functional status, behaviour in seeking help) are measured. In addition, changes in the groups of participants will be surveyed. The implementation of the psychotherapy groups in the respective bridge offers will take place in autumn 2020, and the study will be completed with the last follow-up by the end of 2022.
