NCT ID: NCT04684810 Completed - Mental Health Clinical Trials

Lay Therapist Effectiveness With Displaced Persons Kurdish Iraq

Start date: October 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Negative mental health effects of war exposure and displacement are pervasive, but many displaced persons and refugees in low-and-middle income countries lack access to evidence-based treatments. Community lay-therapists are a promising solution for the global mental health field. However, in spite of results from randomized-control trials, no research to-date has examined the external validity of community-led lay-therapist effectiveness. In this exploratory study, longitudinal data at three time points were collected from 28 Arabic-speaking displaced persons (nineteen women and nine men, ages 18-57) seeking mental health services from the Jiyan Foundation: a non-profit founded and based in Kurdish Iraq. Lay therapists trained in evidence-based treatments upon being hired operated largely independently of supervision from foreign clinicians. Participants in weekly psychotherapy completed the Posttraumatic Stress Checklist (PCL-5) and the Psychological Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) at baseline, one month, and three months, as well as a modified measure assessing traumatic exposure, purpose-in-life, and a modified Afghan Daily Stressors Scale at baseline to assess for moderators of change over time.

The first visit included PLI measurement after that Investigator removed the supra gingival plaque by cotton roll to avoid contamination with the PERIOPAPER strip during GCF collection, then GCF collected from targeted sites(upper incisors, labial side)and Unstimulated saliva collected (for early colonizer bacterial load S. sanguinis and S. mutant) after that the other clinical periodontal parameters ( BOP) were measured and then scaling was done after sample collection because of gingival bleeding which occur during scaling then inform the patient to use the coded toothpaste which gave to the participant by the assistant not involve in the study so the researcher did not know the type of toothpaste that was given to the participant (Colgate or aloe vera twice daily).The toothpastes was given for one week .The codded toothpaste was gave randomly by a decision on that day for example on Sunday Investigator gave all the participants code 1 and on other days Investigator gave to other participants code 2 .In the second visit the PLI was measured first , then the samples were collected from the same teeth after that the other periodontal parameters were collected again ( BOP). After that, participants entered a 6-day wash out period and they were asked to resume oral hygiene measures. After the washout period, the same protocol was repeated for other type of toothpaste.
