Filter by:The investigators will determine, in an 8-site, hybrid Type 1 cluster randomized effectiveness implementation trial, if an acute mental health care bundle, compared to standard care, improves wellbeing at 30 days in children and youth seeking emergency department care for mental health and substance use concerns.
The overall objective of this study is to investigate mediators and moderators at multiple ecological (individual, family/peer and school/neighborhood levels) and time-scale (micro- and macro-time) levels in the link between discrimination-related stressors and mental health among 340 Mexican-origin youth.
This study will focus on developing and testing a family-based mental health navigator intervention, the Family Mental Health Navigator (FMHN), to evaluate whether the intervention combined with mHealth is preliminary efficacious in improving mental health service initiation and engagement for publicly-insured youth.
The risk for suicide increases by nearly 50% in the first year that service members transition from the military to civilian life underscoring the need for effective strategies to facilitate help seeking among Veterans vulnerable to self-directed violence. Yet despite a great need for treatment, more than half of returning Veterans at risk for suicide do not initiate mental health services. VA has embarked on the regular use of communication campaigns as part of a public health approach designed to reach the larger Veteran population with messages promoting help seeking. However, what types of messages effectively change beliefs and behaviors for at-risk Veterans resistant to seek treatment is unclear. The main objective of this study is to develop and test the use of public messaging to increase treatment seeking among Veterans at risk for suicide and resistant to seek mental health care following separation from military service. This represents the first study to systematically develop public messaging strategies for populations at risk for suicide.
Chinese American immigrant families are a fast-growing immigrant group with unmet early childhood mental health needs. The team proposes to design, build, and implement OurChild, an integrated mHealth/EHR solution to increase access to early childhood mental health knowledge and mental health services and resources for Chinese American children ages 2-6 years old and their parents in the Sunset Park Brooklyn.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a positive mental health program for adults, designated Mentis Plus+, in community. Our hypotheses are: 1. compared with the wait-list control group, the persons who join the experimental group and participate in the Mentis Plus+, will have more positive mental health on the end of the program; 2. in the Mentis Plus+ participants, positive mental health will be increased at the end of the program and at follow-up (three- six months later) and their psychological vulnerability will reduce.
This study will focus on developing and testing a family-based mental health navigator intervention, the Foster Care Family Navigator (FCFN), to evaluate whether the intervention combined with mHealth would be efficacious in improving mental health service initiation and engagement for child welfare-involved youth.
Background: There is limited knowledge on the psychological implications of COVID-19 among hospitalized patients and their close relatives. Moreover, evidence-based psychological interventions targeting hospitalized COVID-19 patients and their relatives are currently lacking. Objective: To test a minimal psychoeducational intervention versus standard of care for reducing anxiety among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Methods and analysis: The trial is a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with a 1 month and 3 month follow-up. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients are consecutively included at admission and randomized 1:1 to either an intervention or control group. Patients randomized to the intervention group will receive a minimal psychoeducational intervention just prior to discharge from the hospital. The goal of the intervention is that patients will be prepared and learn to interpret and react to physical and psychological symptoms that are related to recovering from a COVID-19 infection. Data is collected using standardized and validated patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess mental health outcomes. The primary outcome is patient reported anxiety as assess by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Perspectives: This study will provide a comprehensive understanding of the psychological implications of the COVID-19 outbreak. If successful, the minimal intervention is easily implemented in daily clinical practice.
This clinical study evaluates risk and protective factor to develop psychopathology in transitional age youth. 300 patients will be recruited at the age of 17 years old and assessed at baseline and 2 years later.
The COVID-19 pandemic leads to a greatly increased risk of substantial psychological stress worldwide. We intend to evaluate an online support program aiming at reducing stress in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The program consists of twelve modules that participants undergo, covering a broad range of topics related to stress in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been developed together with and is provided by Selfapy GmbH, Berlin. The aim of this randomised clinical trial with observational components is to estimate the effects of the intervention as a whole, as well as individual modules and selected chapters. Further, follow-up assessments as well as information on risks and the long-term course of COVID pandemic-related stress may help to elucidate COVID-19 pandemic stress across time and what we can do to prevent long-term negative consequences.
