Filter by:This 3-year school-based epidemiological study on child and adolescent mental disorders aims to obtain the prevalence rate and identify the psychosocial, individual, environmental, and familial risk factors for mental disorders including learning disability, autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, mood disorders (major depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders in Taiwan.
Recovery Roadmap: A Collaborative Multimedia Tool for Person-Centered Recovery Planning is a highly interactive web-based tool that provides guidance for providers and people in recovery, and promotes widespread implementation of Person-Centered Recovery Planning (PCRP). The Recovery Roadmap prototype was developed and tested by the Center for Social Innovation (C4), in partnership with Yale University's Program for Recovery and Community Health (PRCH), under a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (1R43MH100712). Phase II refined the prototype Roadmap to streamline content, provide additional handouts and exercises for providers and clients to complete together, expand the audio/video vignettes and case studies, and add interactive online coaching and support for providers. Phase II also involved a robust evaluation of the Roadmap, using a quasi-experimental design in a fully powered trial. Approximately 30 practitioners and 90 clients (two to three clients per practitioner) were recruited from a total of five Community Support Programs in Connecticut. The programs were randomly selected into one of two intervention waves (Wave 1 and Wave 2). Survey data for Wave 1 included a total of four surveys: a pre-observation period, post-observation/pre-intervention, a midpoint survey (after completion of online curriculum), and a post survey (after completion of the entire intervention, including coaching calls). Surveys for the Wave 2 study participants included a pre-intervention, midpoint, and post survey. Qualitative interviews were also completed with interviews with practitioners and and administrators/clinical supervisors in each agency. State level client administrative client data were also collected and analyzed. Data examined changes in knowledge related to PCRP, person centered planning practices, practitioner/client relationship, and overall feedback on the intervention. our team also conducted a social network analysis to examine any changes in the size and strength of their networks related to person centered planning before and after the intervention. This phase will culminate with the dissemination of findings and preparation for Phase III commercialization.
This study is a feasibility trial, testing the hypothesis that among sedentary mothers of behaviorally at-risk preschool-aged children, those who receive behavioral parent training (BPT) programs and concurrently increase their physical activity levels will demonstrate improved parenting and child behavior outcomes compared to those who receive BPT but remain sedentary.
This study is a cluster randomised controlled trial, which aims to examine the short-term strategy of addressing treatment gap through increasing primary mental health service capacity. This study aims to compare after 6 months and 12 months, the effectiveness of a specialist model of mental health care and an enhanced usual care (task-sharing) framework, in terms of reducing mental health symptoms, reducing disability, and improving quality of life, as well as the health services costs (and potentially societal costs) associated with these outcomes in 400 patients.
The goal of this project is to develop and pilot test a community-based integrated care model to improve the prevention, early detection and treatment of child mental health problems that is replicable, effective, and sustainable. Project procedures include child mental health screening, on-site brief mental health interventions, referral to specialty mental health, use of co-located child psychiatrist, detection of need for primary care in specialty mental health program. Subjects will be enrolled for 1 year, with interviews at baseline and 3, 6 and 12 months. Dr. Bonnie Zima at UCLA has been contracted by the project funder to design and implement the evaluation of the project, which includes developing data collection procedures, training staff on implementation of data collection workflow, coordinating with sites to ensure evaluation design and IRB protocols are followed, and coordinating with both study sites to verify data reliability. Some potential anticipated risks include being uncomfortable answering questions associated with the measures used in the study, and although unlikely, someone may access participant information that is confidential. Some benefits include helping to find ways to improve how to deliver mental health care for children served in publicly-funded primary care and mental health clinics.
This research study will examine the relationship interconnecting medical body health, mental health, and microbes of the digestive tract in persons living with serious mental illnesses,as compared to persons without such disorders. Existing research suggests that interactions between digestive tract microbes and the body may influence brain function circuits, mood, anxiety state, cognition, behavior, and medical physiology.
In this double blind randomized clinical trial the investigators are going to exam influence of adjuvant Aspirin therapy on soft neurological signs (Heidelberg scale), positive and negative symptoms (PANSS), cytokine profile and inflammatory factors, as well as on cognition (MoCA) in young psychotic patients.
From 1999 onwards, Deep Brain Stimulation [DBS] has been proposed as an alternative to capsulotomy in refractory cases of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder [OCD]. More recently, several studies with DBS in patients with major depression have been initiated. In Belgium, there is currently a reimbursement for devices for DBS for OCD, but not for rechargeable neurostimulators, in these OCD patients. Although rechargeable neurostimulators are widely used in spinal cord stimulation for pain and DBS for movement disorders, they have not yet been used in DBS for psychiatric disorders population. Several possible problems might arise with the use of rechargeable neurostimulators in this highly specific population. In this prospective study with a before-after design, we would like to determine if the use of rechargeable neurostimulators is effective, applicable and safe and capable of diminishing the need for neurostimulator replacement procedures.
The study herein seeks to determine whether students undergoing InSciEd Out curriculum in mental health and addiction (called My Mind, My Body) experience changes in their mental health-related knowledge, attitudes, and help-seeking behavioral intentions. The research group hypothesizes that students undergoing InSciEd Out mental health and addiction curriculum will exhibit pre-post increases in mental health literacy, decreases in mental health stigmatization, and increases in mental health help-seeking behavioral intentions.
Research has shown that identifying and using one's character strengths in new ways decreases depressive symptoms and increases happiness in adults in the general population. Recently, we found that a similar intervention increases the self-esteem and self-efficacy of children and adolescents being treated in an inpatient psychiatric unit. The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects that discovering one's character strengths and incorporating them into coping skills will have on treatment outcomes in patients admitted to a child and adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit.
