Filter by:The 3D-Transition study is a follow-up of the 3D Cohort pregnancy study (NCT03113331, which covered from the 1st trimester of pregnancy to age 2 years) as the children transition into kindergarten and first grade. It aims at clarifying prenatal and preschool predictors of challenging and successful transitions to school as measured by mental health and academic outcomes.
STEP (Supporting the Transition to and Engagement in Parenthood) is a manualized group intervention for pregnant women exposed to early life adversity designed to foster emotion regulation and reflective capacities in participants.
Leaders in organizations must handle organizational complexity and adversity as part of their position and profession. Work-related risk exposure is associated with perceived stress, low engagement, and mental health issues. However, not all leaders exposed to risk experience adverse outcomes, and one possible explanation might be their psychological ability to adapt to the organizational turbulence. Engaged and Resilient is a research project for leaders in private and public organizations. The overall objective is to improve human health and performance, more specifically, to promote psychological and mental health by enhancing the resilience capacities to face adversity and adapt to the organizational environment. The Engaged and Resilient intervention is a flexible training program for leaders implemented as a 20-week program on-site (adjusted due to Covid-19).
Maintaining the population's fitness for work is a priority for the UK Government. People with poor health often struggle at work and take sick leave. Work brings financial, social and health benefits. Few employees receive support to manage their health at work, known as vocational advice, so when their health affects work they visit their general practitioner (GP). The investigators have recently shown the benefits of providing vocational advice for adults consulting in primary care with musculoskeletal pain. The WAVE study research question is: in patients consulting in general practice who receive a fit note for time off work, does a brief vocational advice intervention lead to fewer days lost from work than usual primary care, and is it cost-effective? WAVE includes a feasibility phase to adapt a vocational advice intervention for a broader group of patients and test it in a small sample of patients; followed by a pragmatic, multi-centre, two-arm, parallel-group randomised (1:1) trial with internal pilot phase, mixed methods process evaluation and health economic analysis. Patients will be randomised to either (i) vocational advice intervention plus usual care, or (ii) usual care alone. The vocational advice intervention is designed as a stepped care model based on the principles of case management and delivered by trained Vocational Support Workers (VSWs). The investigators will also interview patients, General Practitioners (GPs), VSWs and employers to understand their views about the intervention and return to work. Participants in the trial will be followed-up over 6 months with fortnightly text messages and postal questionnaires at 6 weeks and 6 months.
In 2017, Socialstyrelsen reported that mental ill-health in young adults had increased by almost 70% in the previous10 years. A 2014 report showed that 5% of men and 11% of women 18-24 years were diagnosed with depression or anxiety in Stockholm County. Furthermore, 41% of women 21-24 years have self reported psychological distress. Regarding pain, 28% of men and 36% of women 16-24 years have disabling neck pain. Little is known about the etiology and prognosis of poor mental health in university students. The aim is to advance knowledge about the etiology of depression, anxiety, stress and pain in undergraduate university students. The investigators will study a cohort of students at full-year programs at universities in the Stockholm area. Primary research questions are whether modifiable factors such as sleep quality, lifestyle, screen time and work environment are independent risk factors for incident episodes or unfavorable trajectories of depression, anxiety and pain in men and women? To be able to answer these research questions we designed a prospective cohort study targeting 5000 university students.
There is a critical need to determine the impact of the COVID-19 emergency on the comprehensive well-being of people as they are living through the emergency and sequelae of the emergency period. The research team is requesting National Institutes of Health funding with the goal to investigate rural vs. urban living people's response to the crisis and its impact using mixed methods research.
Public speaking anxiety (PSA) is a common anxiety with onset in adolescence and early adulthood. With the advent of consumer Virtual Reality (VR) technology, VR-delivered exposure therapy has previously been shown to be efficacious with adults. Virtual reality has existed for several decades, but it is only in the recent years it has become readily available. The new generation of off-the-shelf, consumer VR hardware, can revolutionize the design, availability and dissemination of VR therapist tools for exposure therapies. Importantly, there has been relatively little research on VR delivered exposure of anxiety in social situations compared to other anxiety disorders, presumably due to the complexity of the virtual stimuli required. There has been no study on VR delivered exposure specifically for adolescents until recently. A feasibility and pilot trial laying the foundation of the current study showed great potential in using VR for adolescents with PSA. The current study aims to investigate the efficacy of a self-guided VR intervention compared to a self-guided internet-delivered text-based intervention using a two-phased randomized design. Adolescents aged 13-16 will be invited to participate in the study
AFFIRM is an 8-session manualized group coping skills intervention focused on reducing sexual risk behaviours and psychosocial distress among SGMY. AFFIRM is delivered by two facilitators (primarily social workers and peers) through a combination of education and rehearsal (i.e., simulation of real-life experiences) in a manner that affirms participants' sexual and gender minority identities and experiences. AFFIRM is being tested in a five-year trial using a stepped wedge waitlist crossover design, where all participants receive the intervention in clusters.
For the current study, the investigators will develop, implement, and evaluate web-based and consultative training for Family Advocates employed at Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) across the United States to enhance children's early engagement in evidence-based mental health treatment. The interactive web-based training will embed key targets of knowledge and skills related to family engagement, trauma, evidence-based practices (EBP), and EBP services in the community. Seventy-five CACs who apply to participate in training will be randomized to a webinar-only training group, a webinar plus consultation training group, and a delayed (waitlist) control group. It is hypothesized that the Family Advocates and CAC Directors will report high levels of satisfaction with the training. More importantly, it is also hypothesized that webinar training will improve Family Advocates' knowledge, resulting in minor improvement in EBP engagement, while the addition of consultation in the second training group will lead to increased use of engagement skills, thereby resulting in greater improvement in family engagement in EBP.
The Chilean Maternal & Infant Cohort Study II (ChiMINCs II) is an ongoing cohort that is part of the Chilean Maternal and Infant Nutrition Observatory of the South-East area of Santiago, Chile. In total, 1927 pregnant women beneficiaries of the public health systems and their offspring were recruited before 12 weeks of gestation and are followed across pregnancy (<15, 26-28, and 35-37 weeks of gestation) and up to 2 years of age of their offspring. Two studies are currently nested in ChiMINCs II: 1) Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Mothers (BRECAM) study, and 2) the ChiMINCs-COVID study. The primary objective of BRECAM study is to test the association between maternal metabolic indicators (i.e., insulin, glucose, IGF-1, and HbAc1 concentrations) at early pregnancy (i.e., <15 and 26-28 weeks of gestation) and breast density 3 months after the cessation of lactation. For this purpose, we collect maternal obstetric, lifestyle, dietary intake, anthropometric, and biochemical information. The aim of the ChiMINCs-COVID study is to assess dietary-related risks and mental health problems derived from the COVID-19 pandemic and their influence on maternal and infant's health and nutrition. Thus, we collected detailed information on dietary behaviors, mental health and COVID-related information at each trimester, along with neonatal and infant nutritional information. The purpose of the present work is to describe the design, methods, and descriptive information at recruitment of ChiMINCs-II, also discussing the implications that this study can have to better understand maternal and infant nutrition and health during the COVID-19 era.
