Filter by:This study evaluates the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) therapy in the treatment of depression and anxiety symptoms in patients undergoing the pulmonary rehabilitation. The first study group will receive VR therapy (VR group) as an addition to the traditional pulmonary rehabilitation. The second group (active control group) will receive Schultz Autogenic Training as a standard supplement to the pulmonary treatment. The third group (control group) will undergo only the traditional pulmonary rehabilitation.
We are evaluating the effects of an online single-session mental health intervention (the Common Elements Toolbox; COMET). To evaluate COMET, we are conducting a randomized controlled trial with Indian college students. Students will be randomized to the COMET condition or to a wait-list control condition. Primary outcome measures (depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and subjective well-being) will be measures at two weeks post-intervention, four weeks post-intervention, and twelve weeks post-intervention. We will evaluate COMET as a universal intervention (using the full sample) and as a targeted intervention (analyzing those who reported elevated depressive symptoms or anxiety symptoms at baseline).
The investigators are evaluating the acceptability and effectiveness of brief online wellness modules. Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention condition, an active control condition, or a wait-list control condition. The investigators are using a factorial design, such that each participant in the intervention condition will be randomly assigned to receive three of four wellness modules. The investigators will analyze the intervention's effectiveness as a universal intervention (using the full sample) and a targeted intervention (using the subset of the sample that reported elevated depressive symptoms or anxiety symptoms at baseline).
The objective of this study is to build the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network to support the development of a Network Participant Registry and characterization of systems and interventions to examine statewide population health outcomes. All 12-13 sites represented in the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (https://www.utsystem.edu/pophealth/tcmhcc/) have been invited to participate in the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network as "Nodes." 12 Nodes have been selected for this project. Each Node has obtained support of senior institutional leadership including the department chair. Leadership from each Node provided input and edits in the study design process by committee, with a focus on the inclusion of the "end user" in design decisions. Nodes will work closely with the Network Hub leadership to recruit, monitor, and retain participants. This will require active engagement and sustained relationships with clinics within the academic medical center as well as clinics in the community (i.e., psychiatry, psychology, counselling).
The study examines the effectiveness of a internet-based self-help-program called Selfapy for individuals who are experiencing mental stress. The main objective of the study is to investigate the extent to which Selfapy leads to a significant reduction in depressive symptoms. As this study is the first to evaluate the program Selfapy, also quality of life and acceptance of the program are evaluated. The study is conducted as a randomized-controlled trial with parallel assignment into three conditions. The groups were organized into one wait-list control group and two groups receiving access to Selfapy with different levels of guidance.
This pilot study randomized 48 depressed rural Bangladeshi housewives to either intervention or control groups. The intervention groups received depression treatment and a financial empowerment intervention.
This research study is designed to investigate the effects of a brief psychological intervention for improving depressed mood in older individuals (65 years and older) in isolation during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The treatment is delivered by telephone and consists of four weekly individual sessions. Two therapeutic methods are used in combination during this intervention: Behavioral activation (BA) and Mental Imagery (MI). BA involves identifying and scheduling enjoyable and meaningful activities to improve mood and reduce social isolation. To enhance BA efficacy and adherence, MI is paired with BA as MI is known to activate emotion and motivation. The MI intervention in this study involves having participants imagine, in vivid sensory detail, engaging in some of the activities that are scheduled during BA. Approximately 154 individuals will participate in the study. Half of the participants will be randomised to start the intervention immediately, while the other half of the participants will be randomized to a control group receiving the intervention after 4 weeks. This procedure makes it possible to evaluate the effects of the treatment while not disadvantaging participants randomized to the control group. Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires before, during (at the end of each intervention week), and after treatment (or waiting period for the control group). Questionnaires will also be sent 1-, 3- and 6 months after treatment to follow up on the results. A smaller group of participants (10-15) will be asked to participate in a more detailed interview about how they experienced the treatment.
This study aims to test the effectiveness of a computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy for depression among rural adults. The intervention, called Raising Our Spirits Together (ROST), was developed via a community-based participatory approach and will be delivered in small groups, facilitated by local pastors. Groups will be held virtually, or in-person at two churches in rural Michigan. Eighty-four individuals will be recruited from Hillsdale, Michigan, to test the effect of ROST on depressive symptoms, compared to an Enhanced Control Condition (ECC).
Background and study aims Depression is more prevalent in younger populations. The age of first onset of depression has become younger, yet many adolescents with depressive symptoms remain untreated. Rates of anxiety and depression are increasing among children and young people.postsecondary education also represents a peak onset period for the occurrence of mental disorders. It is estimated that 12-46% of all university students are affected by mental health disorders in any given year. Who can participate? Afghan students over 18 years old fluent in Persian or Pashto, and access to an internet connection. What does the study involve? Participants will be randomly allocated to receive training in skills and coping strategies which are useful in stressful conditions.
A novel web-based module (Teen Depression Module or TDM)has been created for assisting primary care providers (PCPs) in screening for and addressing and referring teens with depression. This is a cluster randomized Quality Improvement study to determine if use of the TDM that includes collecting information on strengths and goals as part of well child care will improve detection of depression, referral success, and teen's use of alternative helping strategies with resulting improvement in depression symptoms.
