Filter by:The aim of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, to test the effectiveness of a structured emotional education program in second, third and fourth grade primary school students and, on the other hand, to test the differential effect of such a program in relation to an incidental tutorial action focused on the ordinary school curriculum. A randomized controlled trial is proposed in Lauro Ikastola with three experimental groups (second, third and fourth of primary education) and three active control groups (one for each of the three courses) with pretest and posttest and with the duration of a school year.
Critical narrative interventions (CNIs) have not been examined for addressing psychological outcomes (e.g., depression, anxiety, self-esteem, empowerment, psychological well-being) within sexual and gender minority emerging adults (SGM EA) of color; therefore, this pilot study will examine the use of CNIs to impact SGM of color psychological outcomes. Prior literature has shown that CNIs have the potential to increase empowerment, self-efficacy, and social support as a prevention strategy for mental health. The research study is being conducted to see if telling your story through photographs or video can improve the mental health and well-being of emerging adults that identify as a member of a sexual and/or gender minority and a racial and/or ethnic minority. Participants will be asked to complete the following research procedures: 1. take a survey online (about 20-30 minutes), then an interview about everyday experiences as sexual/gender minority of color and your experiences in seeking out mental health services. 2. After the interview, participants will have one month to tell their story, answering two prompts "Tell us a time you have felt seen" and "Tell us a time when you have felt unseen." You will be randomized to one of two formats of telling your story: taking photographs or making two short videos. 1. Photographs: Those that are randomized to the photograph condition will be asked to take 12 photos total telling your story and answering the prompt. 2. Videos: Those that are randomized to the video condition will be asked to create two (1-3 minute) videos telling your story and answering the prompts. 3. At the one-month time frame, participants will be asked to fill out another survey (about 20-30 minutes) and then complete an interview about the photos or videos created.
The primary goal is to understand the potential impacts of Guaranteed Income (GI) on Black youth and young adults' financial, emotional, and physical well-being. The main question it aims to answer is: What are the impacts of GI on Black young adults' investments in their future, mental health and unmet mental and sexual/reproductive health service needs? Participants will receive guaranteed income for 12 months and will be offered enrollment in financial capability programs.
The overall aim of the research study is to develop and test a mindfulness-based program for young adult gay, bisexual, and queer men at risk for HIV (Brown University IRB approved protocol #2004002698). Researchers have completed Aim 1 of the broader study, which was to use qualitative, community engaged methods, along with a quantitative online survey, to inform intervention development with the study population. The next phase of the intervention development (Aim 2 - registered here), involves seeking feedback on the developed mindfulness program through an open-pilot with 18 participants from the same study population (young adult gay, bisexual, and queer men at risk for HIV).
The Family Stress Study is following families with young children in Guelph, Hamilton and surrounding areas over 3 years to understand how chronic stress impacts children's weight gain over time and how this association is mediated by alterations in children's cortisol production and weight-related behaviours.
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the synergistic effect of TRE and NW training on health indicators for older women. The women will be divided into four groups, i.e. Control group (CG); time-restricted eating group (TRG) which will follow 12 weeks of TRE protocol; Nordic walking training group (NWT) which will follow 12 weeks of supervised Nordic walking training and Nordic walking training combined with a time-restricted eating group (NW-TRG). In addition, it is assumed to prove that among young men, TRE will improve adaptation to endurance training and improve the metabolism. The study will be divided into two groups: 1. a group undergoing endurance training and 2. a group combining endurance training with TRE. In all subject's changes in the metabolism of iron, tryptophan, vitamin D and lipids will be evaluated. Endocrine function of skeletal muscles, mental state and cognitive abilities of the subjects will also be examined. The investigators expect that the applied procedure of temporary restriction of food intake will be easy to apply and continue for much longer than the study period. In order to maintain this time window, test subjects will be asked to delay their breakfast and early dinner intake. In addition, it is expected that the improvement in wellbeing, vitality and a significant improvement in performance and biochemical indicators of health, especially in the NWT plus TRE group, will allow to better understand the physiology of exercise, which may result in future specific health recommendations for people of different ages.
Background: Transition in care is defined as the "purposeful and planned movement of adolescents and young adults with a chronic medical condition from pediatric to adult-oriented healthcare systems/care providers." Currently, there is no Level 1 evidence of an intervention to improve the care of transitioning adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The development of a transition program using a biopsychosocial approach will improve the standards for healthcare delivery to transitioning IBD patients. This is a protocol for a structured randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy and impact of a multimodal intervention focused on improving patient function, transition readiness and outcomes among AYA patients with IBD being cared for at pediatric centers in Canada. Methods: This multi-center RCT is a type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate effectiveness of the intervention and how it can be implemented more widely after the trial. We will include patients aged 16.0 to 17.5 years. The intervention program consists of 4 core components: 1) individualized assessment, 2) transition navigator, 3) virtual patient skills-building with a focus on building resilience, self-management and self-efficacy, and 4) a virtual structured education program. The control group will undergo standard-of-care defined by each participating center. The primary outcome will be the IBD Disability Index, a validated measure to assess patient functioning. Secondary outcomes include transition readiness, anxiety and depression scales, and health service utilization rates. Additionally, we will identify the effectiveness of an evidence-based implementation approach and related barriers and facilitators for the intervention program. Discussion: The type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design will allow us to develop a feasible, sustainable, and acceptable final intervention model. The intervention will consist of modules that can be accessed in an online, virtual platform. The implementation will not depend on individual hospital resources, allowing centralization of interventions and funding. The authors anticipate that the main study limitation will relate to study subjects not completely adhering to every component of the intervention, which will be evaluated and addressed using the implementation science approach.
The aim of the project is firstly, to develop an app-based mental health intervention for adolescents. Secondly, to evaluate the effect of this app. The overarching goal is to offer a low-threshold intervention, called Opp, that is easily accessible and free to use for all adolescents in Norway.
The purpose of the current protocol is to describe a cluster randomized feasibility trial examining the integration of a scalable stress management intervention into Entre Nosotras ('among/between us'), a community-based psychosocial intervention for migrant and host community women in Ecuador and Panamá. Specifically the study aims to: 1. Explore the relevance, acceptability, and feasibility of integrating a stress management intervention into community-based participatory women's group 2. Examine the feasibility of conducting a fully-powered cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness and implementation of integrating a stress management intervention into a community-based participatory women's group as compared to community-based participatory women's groups alone.
Psychological distress commonly occurs among women during perinatal period. maternal psychological distress can also bring negative influence on neonatal outcomes, such as infant health, child development or mother-child interaction. Hence, developing interventions to improve mental wellbeing during this period is vital. Mindfulness based intervention (MBI) was found effective in reducing psychological distress. Most currently, delivering MBIs via internet, which is more accessible and inexpensive, shows promising positive effect in reducing psychological distress. However, randomized control trial with sufficient power is await to further confirm the positive effect among pregnant women. Moreover, the positive effects of MBIs was found associated with the heart rate variability biofeedback. However, the efficacy of MBI on HRV is rarely studied among pregnant women. Also, the potential association of HRV between MBI and psychological wellbeing needs further examination. This research aims to test the effectiveness of the Guided-Mobile Based Perinatal Mindfulness Intervention (GMBPMI) among pregnant women experiencing psychological distress during the pre and post-natal period, as well as examining the efficacy of GMBPMI on HRV.
