Filter by: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.
Brief and cost-effective interventions teaching emotion regulation techniques can be feasibly applied to promote mental health in University students. The tools of mindfulness (i.e., objective awareness and acceptance) and positive reappraisal (i.e., positive re-evaluation of negative events) can mutually benefit one another to promote well-being. The current study explored the effects of a randomly-assigned Mindful-Reappraisal intervention (n=36) compared to Reappraisal-Only (n=34) and an active control (n=36) on university students' daily affect over five days. Time by condition interactions were analyzed with planned contrasts and multilevel growth modelling.
Oral contraceptives (OCs) ameliorate hyperandrogenism and regulate menstrual cycles. To reduce androgenic side effects of first- and second-generation progestins, several new progestins derived from progesterone or spironolactone have been developed in the last few decades. These progestins, such as drospirenone, cyproterone acetate and NOMAC, are designed to bind specifically to the progesterone receptor and to have no androgenic, estrogenic or glucocorticoid actions. However, OCs with a more pronounced anti-androgenic effects are more likely to induce sexual dysfunction, mainly hypoactive sexual desire disorder, which can highly impact patient and partner's quality of life. Moreover, available data indicate that OC use might increase adiposity in adolescents and might be associated with central redistribution of body fat in young women with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) without a recognizable difference in clinical anthropometric measurements, including body mass index and waist circumference. In this context, it would be worth to evaluate the effects of combined OCs on metabolic and sexual health (sexual desire, arousal, and other parameters of sexual health), body image and mood.
This evaluation seeks to assess the impact of a training program on childcare center environments and child/caregiver wellbeing in El Salvador. Through a longitudinal, randomized control trial, over 200 childcare centers participating in the program will be assigned to various treatment arms receiving different components of the program. A community comparison cohort will also be enrolled.
Effective strategies to ameliorate the negative effects of stressful urban living are greatly needed. D-Stress Baltimore (DSB) is an evidence-based mindfulness-based instructional program of stress-reduction techniques, found to reduce mental health problems across many adult populations. The investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial of the 12-week school-based DSB program compared with a 12-week school-based health education control program at Elev8 schools among 5th-8th graders to assess if DSB program is beneficial for mental health and behavioral problems among public middle-school students.
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of an early psychological intervention, Triadic parent-infant Relationship Therapy (TRT), on parenting stress, parental mental health, and preterm infant development in the motor, cognitive, emotional and behavioral domains at a corrected age of 18 months.
The ActiveBrains project aims to examine whether a 5-months physical exercise program has benefits on cognition and brain, as well as on selected physical and mental health outcomes in preadolescent overweight/obese children.
This project aims to study health outcomes of individuals with mental illness attending a co-located primary health care center in a mental health center. This study uses mixed methods to collect a range of information about who chooses to use what Wellness Center services and in what combinations, with what short and longer-term effects and with what outcomes. Based on participant interviews, identify barriers to and facilitators of access, service, and improvements in person-centered outcomes and elicit suggestions for enhancing health care outcomes and choice. Collaborate with persons in recovery in using the data collected through Aims 1 and 2 to develop and pilot the effectiveness of a new peer-led community based intervention in enhancing access and choice and improving person-centered health outcomes.
The aims of the study are to determine the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Interventionas a workplace health promotion program on psychological distress, prolonged fatigue, job strain (job control and job demand), and perceived stress and to explore the influences of personal characteristics (including gender, age, education, and occupation) on the outcomes of the intervention with time.
Adolescent risk behaviours, such as violence and substance use, are prevalent public health concerns in Canada. Further, these behaviours often co-occur, and are associated with poor mental health. However, the majority of prevention programs focus on preventing single issues and do not consider mental health, and also neglect the importance of relationships when promoting positive youth development. To address this gap, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) Centre for Prevention Science designed the Fourth R Healthy Relationships Plus Program, a small group program focused on the promotion of positive mental health and the reduction of violence and substance use, via the development of improved communication, interpersonal and help-seeking skills. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Fourth R Healthy Relationships Plus program using both outcome (randomized controlled trial design with follow-up at pre-test, post-test, and 4, 8 and 12 months) and process evaluation tools. The primary study hypothesis is that participation in the Fourth R Healthy Relationships Plus program will be associated with positive growth in treatment participants' psychological well-being from pre-test to 12-month follow-up, as compared to control participants. In secondary analyses, the study will explore if treatment participants report less substance use, peer violence, bullying and dating violence at 12-month follow-up than control participants. Since certain person-level (e.g., sex, personality, executive functioning) and program-level (e.g., implementation quality) variables may moderate treatment-outcome relationships, these associations will also be explored. The final hypothesis is that treatment participants will report better attitudes, knowledge and assertive communication at post-test compared to control participants, and that these improvements will mediate the association between program participation and 12-month outcomes.
