Filter by:People sometimes wait a long time for psychological therapy and could have this sooner if they had only one session. This is because they may only require one session to meet their needs if this is provided quickly (Cannistrà et al., 2020) and may therefore require less therapy overall, and if they can access this, then services can run more efficiently, and overall capacity of services to offer therapy can increase. Some therapies are hard to deliver in one session. But the method of levels (MOL) was conceived to be highly flexible with respect to session length and number of sessions, and this makes it easier to use in one-off sessions. It is designed to help people focus on problems they describe as being most relevant to them and to find their own solutions. We want to know if we can give one session of MOL to people seeking help from their GP. We want to see if they find it helpful. So we need to find out if they want and attend the session and if they tell us about it. This will help us decide whether to run a larger study exploring whether one session of MOL can help meet the goals of people seeking GP support. This could tell us whether MOL could help reduce waiting times. We will ask people using GP surgeries if they want to participate. They will be offered one session of MOL with their usual support. We will ask them to complete questionnaires to see if they found the therapy helpful. We will note how many participate, attend sessions, and complete questionnaires. We will check whether participants liked having MOL and will interview 10-12 of them to learn about what they thought. The research will be funded by The University of Manchester.
The mental health of adolescents in the United States has seen a steep decline since 2011, roughly coinciding with the increasing popularity of social media and smartphones. But does social media have a causal impact on the mental health of adolescents or are concerns about the effect of social media on kids a form of public hysteria? In this study, the investigators will conduct the first field experiment in 11-14-year-olds to examine whether, how, and for whom social media harms mental health.
The goal of the clinical trial is to test whether a mental health program that is delivered through the Internet works well for children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their healthy siblings. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the program improve the mental health such as depression and anxiety symptoms? - Does the program improve overall quality of life? - Does the program improve self-efficacy - an individual's belief in their ability to complete tasks to achieve their goals? Participants will: - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their personal and health information, as well as their mental health before the program - Complete the online mental health program - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their mental health after completing the program, and 1-month and 3-months following completing the program Participants be compared against another group of children with CF and their healthy siblings who are on a waitlist and receiving usual CF treatment. Researchers will compare participants scores before starting the program with their scores immediately following completing the program, 1-month, and 3-month after completing the program. Researchers hope to develop a program that improves mental health, quality of life, self-efficacy, and knowledge about CF.
The goal of the clinical trial is to test whether a mental health program that is delivered through the Internet works well for healthy children and adolescents with siblings with cystic fibrosis (CF). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the program improve the mental health and quality of life of healthy siblings? - Does the program improve the relationship between healthy children and adolescents and their sibling with CF? - Does the program help healthy siblings learn about CF? Participants will: - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their family and mental health before the program - Complete the online mental health program over five weeks - Fill out a weekly question asking about their mood for 10 weeks - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their family and mental health after the program Healthy children and adolescents with siblings with CF will be compared against themselves. Researchers will compare participants scores before starting the program with their scores during and after completing the program. Researchers hope to develop a program that improves mental health, quality of life, sibling relationships, and knowledge about CF.
The goal of this study is to evaluate a culturally grounded training curriculum, First Face for Mental Health, in Tribal communities, using a waitlist controlled randomized trial design. This curriculum will train Tribal community members in how to respond to youth and adults experiencing mental health crises and serve as a bridge between these individuals and the help they need. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Does the training increase mental health knowledge, capacity and ability to respond to mental health situations, perceived competence to respond, and actual responsive actions among trainees? - Does the training decrease mental health stigmatizing attitudes and increase cultural identity among trainees? Participants will complete surveys before and after completing the First Face training, across five time points over the course of two years. Half of the participants will be randomized to receive the training initially, and half will receive it six months later. Researchers will compare the two groups to examine whether the trainees demonstrate changes in the outcomes of interest compared to the waitlist control group during the first six months, and whether both groups demonstrate sustained changes after the first six months (i.e., once both groups have received training).
This quality improvement project aims to help outpatient mental health teams, known as Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program (BHIP) teams, adopt more collaborative care practices (consistent with the collaborative chronic care model or CCM). The investigators therefore aim to use two different implementation strategies -- centralized technical assistance and implementation facilitation -- to align BHIP teams' care practices more closely with the principles of the CCM.
Partners In Health (PIH), in collaboration with Harvard Medical School, aims to develop and evaluate an SMS-based intervention for Community Health Workers (CHWs) to combat COVID-19 and mental health-related misinformation in Haiti, Rwanda, and Malawi. The study involves three aims: identifying locally relevant misinformation through a card-sorting exercise with CHWs, developing targeted messages through cognitive interviewing, and evaluating the effectiveness of SMS-based educational message dissemination via a randomized controlled trial. The evaluation will assess the impact on public health practices, knowledge and attitudes among CHWs, and knowledge and attitudes among community members.
The present study is an evaluation of school-based intervention. The intervention aims to strengthen students' well-being and increase their mental health through training in tools that increase self-efficacy and ability to understand themselves and others. The Danish Committee for Health Education is responsible for developing and implementing the intervention and for recruiting schools, while the the Danish National Institute of Public Health at University of Southern Denmark is responsible for the evaluation of the intervention, including data collection, analysis and reporting.
The purpose of this study is to better understand how a telephone reminiscence program impacts reminiscence functions and mental health outcomes in community-dwelling older adults.This study will take 12 weeks to complete and will include approximately 90 study participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two telephone reminiscence groups.They will be either assigned to begin a telephone reminiscence program immediately or in 6 weeks. Participants will receive automatic calls three times a week asking the meaningful questions about their lives. At week 1, week 6, and week 12, participants will also be asked to complete assessments via phone, by research assistants using four questionnaires.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different well-being intervention components in healthy individuals. The main question it aims to answer is how an optimal emotional and social learning program should be composed. Participants will participate in one of 16 courses over 14-weeks which will have a varying combination of four components: - emotion regulation, - mindfulness, - self-acceptance and - resource activation. For each of these components there will be a control component. Further, there will be a waitlist-control-group included.
