Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of an emotion regulation intervention called Jóvenes Capibara in a Venezuelan migrant and internally displaced population sample of youth between the ages of 18 through 30 delivered within a 10-day boot-camp entrepreneurship program. The main questions it aims to answer are: (a) Is Jóvenes Capibara feasible and acceptable among IDP and Venezuelan migrant youth aged 18-30 in Colombia?; (b) Is delivery of Jóvenes Capibara within entrepreneurship training feasible and acceptable among facilitators?; (c) Is Jóvenes Capibara associated with improved mental health, daily functioning, and labor market outcomes in Colombian and Venezuelan youth who receive the YRI compared with control youth? Participants will receive a 10-day intervention, which consists of an entrepreneurship program, plus Jóvenes Capibara, an intervention that aims to improve emotion regulation and mental health symptoms among youth impacted by violence. Measures will be taken at baseline, post-intervention, and at 6-month post-intervention follow-up. The comparison group will receive the intervention one year after youth in the experimental condition. The researchers will compare the experimental group and the waitlist control group to determine the effects of Jóvenes Capibara on mental health, daily functioning, and labor market outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between psychotic symptoms and social functioning in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Our goal is to determine whether stimulating the brain using transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can improve symptoms and daily functioning.
This open trial will test a new technology-supported blended intervention, mobile Social Interaction Therapy by Exposure (mSITE), that targets social engagement in consumers with serious mental illness.
This randomized pilot trial uses a waitlist control parallel design of a novel internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program for older adults with elevated depressive symptoms. This study will enroll approximately 35 older adults per group throughout Michigan. The intervention will take approximately ten weeks to complete. Participants will have lower levels of depression after completing the intervention than before enrollment. Participants will be able to use the internet-based platform with minimal support.
Super Skills for Life (SSL) is a transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral protocol developed for children aged 6 to 12 with anxiety and comorbid problems (e.g., depression, low self-esteem, and lack of social skills). SSL consists of eight sessions targeting common risk factors for internalizing disorders such as cognitive distortions, avoidance, emotional management, low self-esteem, social skills deficits and coping strategies. The aim of the study is to investigate the comparative effectiveness of SSL in its traditional and computerized versions on internalizing symptoms in Spanish children between 8 and 12 years of age.
This is a single group study of a novel internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program for older adults with elevated depressive symptoms. This study will enroll approximately 300 older adults throughout the state of Michigan to test the effectiveness of Empower@Home with older adults. The intervention will take approximately 10 weeks to complete. Participants will have lower levels of depression after completing the intervention than before enrollment. Participants will be able to use the internet-based platform with minimal support.
This study aims to examine the effect of ketamine in decreasing the risk of suicide in patients with depression and its effectiveness as an antidepressant agent.
"Braining" is a clinical method for physical exercise as adjunctive therapy in psychiatric care. The core components are personnel-led group training sessions and motivating contact with psychiatric staff, as well as measurement and evaluation before and after the training period of 12 weeks. Objective. This study aims to describe the clinical and demographic variables in the population of patients who participated in Braining 2017-2020, investigate the feasibility of Braining, and analyse perceived short-term effects and side effects of Braining regarding psychiatric and somatic symptoms. Method. The project is a retrospective, descriptive study. Patients at Psykiatri Sydväst (PSV, Psychiatric Clinic Psychiatry Southwest, Stockholm) who participated in Braining 2017-2020 during at least 3 training sessions, will be asked for inclusion. Medical and demographic data, as well as patient treatment evaluations, are already available in medical records. Additionally, an extended 2-year long-term follow-up will be carried out. This includes blood and hair sample, physical examination as well as qualitative interviews with a representative subgroup.
While suicide prevention depends on people disclosing suicidal thoughts and behaviors in order to get help, those who talk about their suicidality also face negative responses from the people who they tell. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial of a peer-led strategic disclosure intervention for suicide attempt survivors (The To Share or Not to Share Program; called 2Share). This study evaluates the impact of the intervention on suicidal thoughts and behaviors, depression, stigma, disclosure behaviors, and psychosocial outcomes.
The aim of this study is to compare, in cost-effectiveness and cost-utility terms, a brief transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioural therapy in two different modes, individual and group, with the treatment usually administered in primary care (TAU). Participants between 18 and 65 years old and with, according to the pretreatment evaluation, mild to moderate emotional disorders will be randomly allocated to the three clusters. They will be assessed again immediately after treatment and 6 and 12 months later. The study hypotheses expect to find (H1) the individual treatment generally as effective as the group one, whereas (H2) the TAU will be the least effective. (H3) The group therapy is expected to get the best results in terms of cost-effectiveness and (H4) the TAU will get the worst cost-effectiveness results. Furthermore, (H5) it is expected to find these results across the follow-up assessments too.
