Filter by:The purpose of this study is to strengthen school achievement and positive mental health, and to prevent and reduce school dropout and mental distress among high school students. The researchers will scale up techniques that have already been proven highly effective in preventing common mental disorders (depression, anxiety) in high risk groups (indicated and selective prevention). The researchers will disseminate these techniques to entire first year classes of high school students irrespective of risk factors (universal prevention). The study will report whether universal delivery in school of "Mind Power" - a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) based programme - will strengthen school grades, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-regulation, mental perceptions and well-being, and prevent and reduce school dropout, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. In addition the researchers will analyse whether such universal delivery prevents more mental distress, and is more cost-effective than when it is delivered only to those at high risk for school failure, dropout, or mental distress.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of implementing a mental health intervention, using individual and group Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), embedded into Fathers for a Lifetime; an existing parenting program for fathers. The study will also assess the mental health status and daily functioning of fathers participating in the intervention and comparison arms. The mental health treatments available for parents focused on prevention and treatment of mothers or families but rarely was there a focus on fathers. Our study will use an existing parenting program for fathers to provide a mental health treatment for African American fathers with the intent of creating an effective treatment to screen, diagnosis, increase access to mental health services, and provide mental health treatment. By improving fathers' mental health, we can expect to see improvement in daily functioning, parent-parent interactions, parent-child interactions, increase confidence in parenting skills, and a decrease in parental stress.
The main aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of head & neck cancer and brain tumors on lives of patients in Pakistan. To the best of the investigators knowledge this will be the first in-depth study to evaluate resilience and quality of life (QoL) among this group of patients. These patients encounter challenges as they battle to maintain optimistic outlook towards life. Resilience and QoL among them changes over time and may be modifiable towards increased well-being. Resilience and QoL are critical components during diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and at the end of life. Hence, these are important traits for promoting positive psychological well-being. Through this study the investigators will be able to identify problems faced by such patients in our setting. the investigators will be able to plan appropriate interventions to improve a person's resiliency and quality of life, reduce depression and anxiety, and increase their satisfaction with life. This study is also aimed to inform healthcare providers and researchers regarding protective or risk characteristics for coping with cancer. Practices and resilience interventions may improve well-being and adherence to care guidelines. The objectives of our study are: Primary Objectives: - To determine resilience and quality of life scores after treatment separately for head & neck cancer and Brain tumor patients in Pakistan. - To evaluate important factors associated with resilience and quality of life after treatment separately for head & neck cancer and Brain tumor patients in Pakistan. Secondary Objective: • To examine the relationship between resilience and quality of life after treatment separately for head & neck cancer and Brain tumor patients in Pakistan. It will be an analytical cross sectional study design. The study will be conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. Study participants will be men and women greater than 18 years, with brain tumors or head & neck cancer fulfilling the eligibility criteria. Approximately 250 patients will be recruiting with brain tumors and 250 with head & neck cancer. Validated tools will be used to measure resilience and QoL.
The general objective of this project is to investigate the interplay of the gut microbiome - endocannabinoid axis with host environmental factors and intestinal, metabolic and mental health status in free-living adults with various metabolic statuses and lifestyles.
The Nutritarian Women's Health Study (NWHS) is a long-term hybrid effectiveness-implementation study on the effect of the Nutritarian Diet on the occurrence, recurrence, and progression of chronic diseases (including all forms of cancer and cardiometabolic risk factors).
Background: Seventy percent of lifetime cases of mental illness emerge prior to age 24. While early detection and intervention can address approximately 70% of child and youth cases of mental health concerns, the majority of youth with mental health concerns do not receive the services they need. Objective: This project will evaluate the impact of Thought Spot upon intentions and self-efficacy in help-seeking for mental health concerns among transition aged youth (youth aged 17-29) enrolled full-time or part-time at a college or university in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), compared with a control group (who receive usual care; resource pamphlet). Methods: A two-group partially blinded pre-post randomized controlled study will be done to evaluate the impact of the digital platform, Thought Spot, on transition-aged youths' intentions to help-seek. Measurements will be taken over a 6 month period: baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. 472 participants who are enrolled part-time or full-time at one of 3 participating post-secondary institutions (George Brown College, Ryerson University, University of Toronto) who are interested in maintaining or managing their mental health will be recruited and randomized to the intervention arm or the control arm. The intervention group participants will have access to the Thought Spot platform. The control group participants will receive a pamphlet that outlines mental health services and wellness services across the GTA. Both groups will also have access to usual care. Results: The investigators are testing the hypothesis that 1) transition-aged youth who receive the intervention will show a greater improvement in intentions and self-efficacy in help-seeking for mental health concerns than those who are allocated to the control group; and 2) participants in the intervention arm will also show greater improvements in health literacy, including awareness of available services and supports, increased self-efficacy in managing their mental health concerns, and a reduction in mental health stigma, compared to the control arm.
