Filter by:Being diagnosed with coeliac disease means that individuals can no longer consume things containing gluten, such as bread or cake, or they can become very ill. This can make situations involving food challenging, such as social situations or lunch at school. The investigators know that being diagnosed with coeliac disease as a teenager can be particularly upsetting and can lead to problems such as anxiety or low mood. Research suggests that when young people are worried about the impact of their condition on their life, they can find it challenging to tell their doctor or ask for support. The investigators would like to understand the experiences of young people with coeliac disease who attend the Paediatric Gastroenterology service at a local children's hospital. The investigators are particularly interested in the reasons why young people either feel able or unable to tell their doctor that they are experiencing difficulties relating to their wellbeing during their appointments, in order to improve support for young people. This study aims to recruit young people between the ages of 11 and 16, who are attending secondary school, to ask them about the things that make it easier or more difficult to share any concerns about their wellbeing with their doctor.
School based, mental-health intervention focused on improving self-efficacy and coping skills in children aged 9-13 years. The overall premise of our intervention is that by teaching children these skills they will in-turn become more resilient when faced with life-stressors and/or adverse events.
There is an urgent need to better understand and manage the mental health burden among working adults. Up to 40% of persons with serious mental illnesses do not receive care or stop intervention programs due to negative stigma. Additionally, nearly 50 percent of respondents diagnosed with an anxiety disorder said it interfered with their relationships with coworkers. Close to $6000 USD is lost per working person each year due to depression and its effects. Rose (Recognition of Speech and Emotion) is a mental health-focused application that utilizes artificial intelligence to identify symptoms and provides targeted, tailored in-person therapy solutions for its users. The RoSE application provides solutions to supplement ongoing in-person psychotherapy. This includes journaling and daily assessments that provide curated content and feedback. The current feasibility study aims to recruit 45 established outpatients with at least mild depressive and/or anxiety symptoms who will be consented and enrolled in a five to ten-week study. There are two study arms: (1) the intervention arm and (2) a waitlist control arm. During the course of the study, the participants in the intervention arm will use the RoSE application daily. They will receive either weekly in-person psychotherapy with their established psychotherapist for a total of four sessions over four weeks or biweekly in-person psychotherapy with their established psychotherapist for a total of four sessions over eight weeks. The participants in the waitlist arm will serve as controls unless there is attrition from the intervention group at which time waitlist participants will be offered a spot in the intervention arm. The primary objectives of the study are (1) To assess the usability of the RoSE application and (2) To evaluate the short-term impact on mood and anxiety of using the RoSE application to augment in-person psychotherapy. The secondary objectives are (1) To examine the usage and utility of an in-application journaling function and (2) To examine the usage and utility of in-application curated insights.
This study will consist of a randomized experimental group and a control group, In addition to the control and experimental group, there will also be a non-randomized motivated experimental group. Approximately 75 males and females from the ages of 18 to 80 will take part in this study. Subjects will be randomly divided into a Control and Experimental Group. Subjects for the control and experimental group will be recruited from a Tony Robbins Facebook page, and subjects in the experimental group (DWD Group) will be admitted to the Tony Robbins Date With Destiny Event (December 2019) in West Palm Beach for free, while the subjects randomly assigned to the control group, will not attend the event, but instead be required to a Gratitude Journaling experiment (Three Good Things Intervention). Psychological assessment surveys will be taken before the event, directly after the event, and one month following the event. The control group will take the psychological assessment before beginning journaling, directly after completing journaling, and one month following completion of journaling.
The aim of this project is to improve the evidence-base regarding lifestyle and mental health symptoms among fitness instructors. A national cohort of fitness instructors will be invited to participate in this study by responding to an online questionnaire. The questionnaire will consist of items regarding exercise, nutrition, eating disorders, the menstrual cycle, depression, anxiety, body dissatisfaction and satisfaction, drive for muscularity and leanness, and experiences of sexual harassment. Findings from this study will provide an evidence-base for initiatives to improve/optimize mental health among fitness instructors, and also in the process of developing fitness centres to a core partner in public health and health promotion work.
Adolescent young carers (AYCs) are young people aged 15-17 years old, who take on significant or substantial caring tasks and assume a level of responsibility that would usually be associated with an adult. In Europe, the estimated prevalence rate of YCs is around 4-8%.Taking on care responsibilities so early in life may have considerable negative consequences for YCs' mental and physical health and psychosocial development. Psychosocial interventions to support YC worldwide are generally quite limited. The H2020 Me-We project (Psychosocial Support for Promoting Mental Health and Well-being among Adolescent Young Carers in Europe) aims to develop an innovative framework of primary prevention interventions for adolescent YCs (AYCs) aged 15-17 to be tested in six European countries (Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom). The theoretical framework chosen for the intervention is the DNA-V Model. The DNA-V model is a psychological intervention, addressed to adolescents and young people, used in educational and clinical settings. This model has its roots in the contextual and functional science and it is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a third-generation cognitive-behavioural therapy. The intervention programme designed for the ME-WE project builds on the DNA-V model but it was adapted to fit the specific needs of adolescent young carers (AYCs) and the goals of the ME-WE project. The study aim is to evaluate the efficacy of DNA-V based program for AYCs (so-called ME-WE intervention), using a cluster-randomized controlled trial (C-RCT) design. The evaluation of the intervention will be carried out using as primary outcome variables: Psychological flexibility; Mindfulness skills; Resilience; Subjective mental health; Quality of life; Subjective health complaints; Caring-related quality of life; Cognitive and emotional impact of caring and Social support. As secondary outcome variables will be included Self-reported school, training or work experience, performance, and attendance. COVID-19 Amendment: Recruitment, should be moved to a cluster- based online recruitment or individual, social media recruitment, face-to-face sessions should be moved to online sessions using video-conferencing instruments, allowing for visual presentations of participants and session materials (e.g. ZOOM, Microsoft Teams). Four open-ended items were added to evaluation questionnaire assessing impact of COVID-19 pandemic.
This study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate ParkRx, a clinic-based counseling intervention in which health care providers prescribe park visits at a specific frequency, duration, and includes instructions for physical activity in the parks. We will assess whether prescribing visits to specific parks changes physical activity levels and improves health and mental health outcomes among low-income pediatric patients.
Social prescribing is a way of understanding the things that are important to a person and then using these to find groups and resources in their local community that can help them meet their goals and understand their problems. Social prescribing can be used with people who have physical health problems, mental health problems, social problems such as loneliness or financial/housing problems. The Welsh Government has supported the creation of these social prescribing services across Wales. However, the evidence showing that social prescribing is a good way of improving a person's well-being and quality of life is not very strong. This project is an evaluation of a new social prescribing service delivered by British Red Cross in two areas in Wales. British Red Cross have made a new social prescribing service, where a link worker works with a patient who has mild/moderate mental or emotional health problems, to understand their needs and set them goals for the future over 12 weeks of core support. The link worker will also help them find services in their local community that might help them achieve their goals. The study uses a waitlist trial, thus some participants will get to meet the link worker and have the intervention straight away, while others will have to wait for 20 working days. From this, the researchers can compare the people who had the intervention straight away with the people who had to wait. Scores on well-being and quality of life questionnaires will be used to see the effects of the intervention on participants.
The goal of this pilot is to test the World Health Organization (WHO) Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions intervention, a new psychological intervention. The pilot in Tanzania adapted the manual for young adolescent Burundian refugees in Tanzania (ages 10 - 14) with prolonged disabling distress living in communities affected by adversity. We conducted a formative study to adapt the EASE material, followed by small feasibility RCT (M=72) along with a process evaluation.
The main objective of this study is to understand the links and outcomes of adoption of a cleaner cookstove/fuel and exposure to a personal empowerment training on women's health outcomes in a Congolese refugee camp in Rwanda, with a focus on gender-based violence (GBV).
