PROCARE is a preventive intervention that has shown its effectiveness in selective prevention to reduce young people's risk of developing emotional problems. In this study, an uncontrolled pre-post study is carried out where this personalized transdiagnostic preventive intervention in online mode is applied in the indicated population, with the following objectives: 1) provide data about whether there are improvements in the emotional state of adolescents after implementing PROCARE-I+; and 2) evaluate if there is any risk factor that predicts anxiety-depressive symptoms and/or emotional difficulties. The sample was made up of 30 adolescents who showed symptoms of anxiety and/or depression and a high risk of developing an emotional disorder and who benefited from the preventive, transdiagnostic, online and personalized intervention called PROCARE-I+. After the analysis of the data collected at the pre-intervention and post-intervention time, the data revealed that the intervention had an impact on improving the emotional state of the adolescents in terms of anxious-depressive symptomatology, quality of life and emotional regulation. On the other hand, the data revealed the absence of predictive relationships between the presence of a risk factor and suffering from symptoms of anxiety and depression; In contrast, predictive relationships were found between the presence of the family risk factor and suffering from some emotional difficulty.

The goal of this clinical pilot trial is to test the feasibility, acceptance and preliminary efficacy of an adapted group psychotherapy manual in stroke survivors with psychological stress. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the group therapy feasible? - Is the group therapy accepted by stroke survivors and therapists? - Are there first indications on the efficacy of the group therapy to improve mental health? Participants will take part in 8 weekly group therapy sessions of 90 minutes each.
Oxytocin has been proposed as a neuroendocrine mechanism that may mediate the relationship between dog ownership and positive health outcomes and be linked to human-dog interactions and is thought to be a mechanism of interspecies bonding. While the role of oxytocin in human bonding behaviours and social behaviour, in general, is becoming well-established the role of oxytocin in human-animal interaction and Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) remains unclear. This research gap calls for more high-quality research investigating this possible neuroendocrine underlying mechanism to advance knowledge about AAI. If oxytocin indeed might be involved in interspecies bonding, intranasally administered oxytocin should not only enhance trust toward a human but also towards a dog.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation on depression in Chinese adolescents with elevated depressive symptoms and vitamin D deficiency. The main question it aims to answer whether vitamin D3 supplementation can reduce depressive symptoms. Participants in the intervention group will receive vitamin D3 capsules and mental health education. The control group will receive vitamin D3 placebo and mental health education. Researchers will compare the change in depressive symptoms from baseline to post-intervention at 12 weeks between the intervention and control groups.

This study aims to evaluate the influence of the used therapeutic approaches on psychological outcomes and to compare the effectiveness of these therapies.
The goal of this parallel cluster randomized control (CRT) trial is to evaluate a group-based mind-body intervention (Move with HaRT) in survivors of human trafficking. The main study aims are: 1. Determine effectiveness of the Move with HaRT intervention on PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms among survivors of human trafficking in Uganda 2. Explore participant characteristics (e.g., age, trafficking history, food security) that may moderate the intervention effectiveness. 3. Understand potential barriers and facilitators to future implementation and scale-up. Participants will complete: - Complete three surveys (baseline, endline, and 3 month follow-up) - Participate in either Services as Usual or Move with HaRT groups - Qualitative in-depth interviews Researchers will compare Move with HaRT with Services as Usual to see effects on mental health symptoms.
