Filter by:This study will develop and test whether personalized profiles of children with Disruptive Behaviour Disorder (DBD) and their parents based on important psychological, emotional, and neuropsychological indicators predict their response to child cognitive behavioral treatment and Behavioral Parent Training.
Disruptive behavioral disorders are common in early childhood, affecting up to 15% of preschool-aged children. Behavioral parent training programs are a first-line evidence-based treatment for child disruptive behaviors. There is evidence showing that (a) these programs are effective in reducing disruptive behavior and improving long-term outcomes, and (b) there is an excellent return on investment for early intervention. Nevertheless, there is limited availability of behavioral parent training programs, particularly in rural settings, due to shortages of trained clinicians. Thus, there is a pressing need for expanding the mental healthcare workforce in rural/underserved areas. The study will involve an established parent-based behavioral intervention (First Approach Skills Training for Behavior; or FAST-B) with added pilot component incorporating parents who have previously been through parent behavioral management training programs as Peer Supports.
The goal of this intervention study is to test a behavioral intervention to increase inclusionary practices toward individuals with serious mental illness in faith communities. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To determine if the behavior-based intervention leads to an increase in inclusionary practices (e.g., conducting outreach with mental health agencies). 2. To determine if the behavior-based intervention is effective in increasing inclusive practices by members and leaders of faith communities. 3. To determine if the intervention leads to a greater understand of mental illness and a decrease in stigmatizing beliefs by congregation members. 4. To determine if the intervention results in individuals with serious mental illness and their family members reporting less discrimination and increased inclusion. Congregations will be asked to create an inclusion committee that will then work on developing systems and changing congregational practices to become more inclusive. All congregation members will be invited to a half-day training that will provide information on mental illness and inclusion, and will provide tips and strategies when they encounter situations or behaviors that are less familiar to them. All congregation members will be given the opportunity to participate in a survey about congregational practices.
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the functional profiles of the immune cells within the gastrointestinal tract and to determine how these cells contribute to autoimmune and neurologic diseases.
The aim of this randomised clinical trial is to evaluate the short and longterm effects of a transdiagnostic mentalization-based intervention (Lighthouse MBT Parenting Program) compared to care as usal (CAU) for parents with a mental disorder in adult mental health service.
Few studies have evaluated, in patients with symptomatology the impact of cannabis use on the duration of hospitalization and on short- and medium-term developments. The objective of this study will be to assess the impact of cannabis on the duration, the hospitalization and the short- and medium-term evolution of patients with psychotic symptoms and cannabis use. We hypothesize that these patients (in comparison with patients with psychotic symptomatology and not using cannabis) would be hospitalized more long, exposed to a higher risk of resistance to the usual therapeutics, would have a lack of therapeutic alliance and insight, relapses and hospitalizations more frequent, more marked negative symptoms and lower quality remission. They would also be more prone to impulsive and aggressive behaviour.
The study will compare standard high-intensity training with brief high-intensity training in people with schizophrenia-spectrum or bipolar disorder. The overall aim is to determine which of the two is superior in a long-term perspective.
This study aims to validate the Lithuanian version of the Brief Negative Symptoms Scale, Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, and Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scale in a Lithuanian sample. This will be done by comparing results obtained from the Brief Negative Symptoms Scale, Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, and Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scale with results obtained from the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale, the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test.
According to the increasing worldwide prevalence rate of psychiatric disorders in youth, the mental health of youth is becoming more and more important. Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare reported the clibing suicide rate of youth in past five years and showed the prevention work and related intervention for youth's mental health was noteable. The definition of emotion regulation was "consists of the extrinsic and intrinsic processes responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and modifying emotional reactions, especially their intensive and temporal features, to accomplish one's goals." Emotion regulation strategies including "rumination", "avoidance", "suppression", "Problem-solving", "reappraisal", "acceptance", "social support", and "distraction". Previous studies had examined the relationship between emotion regulation and mental health in youth; maladaptive emotion regulation would increase the individual's depressive and anxiety symptoms. Carstensen proposed social emotion theory in 1995 Selectivity theory (SST) refers to the need for emotion regulation, which activates Social participation in late adulthood. SST assumes that young people are more interested in social interaction behaviors related to information seeking and building self-concept. characteristics of youth affected by many normative challenges such as adolescence, school transitions, and more complex social Landscape; Adaptive emotion regulation will reduce risk of clinical emotion attacks of illness, especially depression and anxiety.To explore the relationship between emotion regulation and mental health from a psychosocial developmental aspect, we focused on the interaction between individual and environment. Compared with the previous generation, most youths of this generation were participating in social activities and building up interpersonal relationships through the internet, suggesting the internet was an important social context.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate concussions and contact sports practices in REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the proportion of patients with RBD that have a history of concussions or exposure to contact sports? - Is this proportion higher to that in control patients without a diagnosis of RBD? Participants will undergo an interview with a sleep medicine specialist to answer questions about history of concussions and contact sports practices. Researchers will compare an RBD group and a control group (without RBD) to see if the proportion of concussions and exposure to contact sports differ.
