Filter by:The goal of this two-year R34 treatment development grant is to develop a mobile health (mHealth) application that will both advance theory in and clinical practice of homework (HW) implementation. HW can be described as between-session exercises where the client practices specific skills learned within-session in order to promote skill acquisition, which ultimately leads to improved acute- as well as longer-term therapeutic benefits on targeted outcomes, generalization of treatment effects and maintenance of treatment gains. Despite data demonstrating that HW is critical to achieving maximal benefits from evidence-based treatments, very little theory-driven approaches have been conducted focusing on improving the HW process. Through utilizing self-determination theory as a guiding framework and integrating principles from the field of "gamification" and goal-setting, the aim is to develop a two-component mHealth HW application (My MFG). The first component focuses on delivering HW via a highly engaging, multiplayer, interactive, cooperative, and skill-building game platform aimed at improving the "Design" and "Do" process of HW. The second component focuses on targeting factors putatively related to poor HW implementation within the "Do" process. The process of the development of My MFG will be guided by the clinic and community development model and iterative software development process to maximize the feasibility and sustainability of My MFG within practice settings often characterized by limited resources. Findings from this study have broad implications for evidence-based treatments for youth and adult mental health disorders that emphasize HW as the link between treatment and improvements in targeted outcomes.
Joint research (quantitative and qualitative methodology) with quasi-experimental design, before-after without control group to evaluate the pilot implementation of Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) in the context of primary health care in Chile. The hypothesis is that the program is feasible and acceptable to the Chilean population.
The investigators' mobile application-based community, termed Momba, will provide a bi-directional flow of information on maternal and infant mental health to traditionally underrepresented groups of mothers and their infants. The overall goal of this mobile application-based community of low-income postpartum women and infants is to increase the social support, social networks, and social capital of low-income mothers; thereby, leading to a positive change in the health behaviors, utilization of health services, and mental health status of both mothers and their infants.
1. The positive outcomes reported by participants in experimental group after two weeks of interventions will be significantly better than before interventions. 2. The positive outcomes reported by participants in experimental group will be significantly better than those in control group after two weeks of providing prevention model interventions. 3. The positive outcomes reported by participants in experimental group will be significantly better than those in control group after six months of providing prevention model interventions.
A single disaster, terrorist attack, or other large-scale incident can adversely affect thousands of youth and families. Immediate consequences may include unmet basic needs and high economic burden, particularly among underserved populations. Disasters also can dramatically affect family roles and relationships over time (e.g., family routines, marital stress, parent-child interactions). Whereas most youth are resilient in the aftermath of disasters (i.e., do not develop serious mental health or health-risk problems), the prevalence of various problems of public health significance (e.g., PTSD, depression, substance abuse) clearly increases in this population. This underscores the need for effective, widely accessible, culturally-appropriate and cost-efficient interventions that foster resilience or rapid recovery relative to the health effects of disasters. Yet, few evidence-informed resources are available to youth and families to facilitate post-disaster resilience and recovery. Primary aims of this project are: (a) to develop a Web-based intervention for disaster-affected adolescents and parents targeting prevalent health-related correlates of disasters (i.e., development phase), (b) to conduct a randomized controlled population-based study to examine feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the intervention (i.e., randomized controlled trial [RCT] phase) and cultural relevance (i.e., perceived applicability of the intervention to one's cultural group), and (c) to refine the intervention based on RCT-phase data.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a relationships based antenatal intervention (Mellow Bumps) against a comparison intervention (Chillout In Pregnancy) and also against the normal antenatal care which is received during pregnancy (Care As Usual). The Mellow Bumps intervention will seek to improve maternal anxiety and maternal sensitivity whilst the Chillout In Pregnancy intervention will aim to improve only maternal anxiety. This will allow the researchers to determine what type of intervention, if any, is most successful at improving the outcomes of the mother and child. This will be measured by looking at the mother's stress response, anxiety, depression and irritability, the baby's stress response and the interactions between the mother and the baby. Participants in the study will be pregnant women who would be between 20 and 30 weeks pregnant at the start of the antenatal intervention. Participants will be chosen to take part in one of the three conditions (Mellow Bumps, Chillout In Pregnancy or Care As Usual) at random. All participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and give saliva samples prior to the intervention. The questionnaires will also be repeated at the end of the intervention and at a follow up occurring eight to twelve weeks after birth. Consent will also be sought to take saliva samples from the baby before and after a routine blood test when the baby is five days old. This information will then be evaluated to establish the effectiveness of the proposed interventions.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Method of Levels Cognitive Therapy is an effective intervention for treating clients with a range of presenting problems in primary care by comparing it with a waiting list control condition.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a purpose-built intervention in improving the mental health of abused Mainland Chinese immigrant women in a community in Hong Kong.
The purpose of this clinical trial was to test the hypothesis that clients of clinicians who were scheduled to receive weekly feedback on their clients' progress would improve faster than clients of clinicians who were not scheduled to receive weekly feedback.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is a group program in which participants are taught to be mindful or present-focused. MBSR programs consist of instruction in a variety of mindfulness meditations including body scan, sitting meditation, mindful yoga, and discussion of these practices. Our study purpose is to develop and conduct a pilot mixed-methods randomized controlled trial (RCT), combining clinical outcomes, qualitative interviews, and brain imaging to assess the impact of the intervention on children with mental health challenges.
