Filter by:The proposed longitudinal project aims to understand parental influences on children's sleep and will investigate the effect of sleep-related parental factors - (1) parents' value of their children's sleep relative to other activities, (2) parental involvement in setting children's sleep habits and enforcing good sleep hygiene, and (3) parent's own sleep habits - on school-age children's sleep, mental health, socio-emotional resilience, and academic/cognitive performance. It will also investigate the impact of social economic status on these sleep -related parental factors.
These unparalleled size, nature and complexity of youth mental health problems would leave a huge gap to fill after the Millennium, which would need stratified and timely interventions to improve the mental well-being and metal health of the youth in the general population. The use of music has been explored in improving the mental well-being and mental health in the young people. The progressively digitalized lifestyle of the youth as the digital natives is paralleled by frequent use of online music in their daily activities. This means that online music interventions can be a new, youth-friendly and accessible means to deliver interventions to the youth to improve their mental well-being and mental health. Therefore, it is worthwhile to further explore the potential as well as underlying mechanisms of online music in improving youth mental well-being and mental health in the community among young people as a population lifestyle strategy. In this study, the investigators would conduct a Randomized Control Study on Brief Online Music Intervention (BOMI) by listening to a selected, guided and self-chosen online song each day actively in a personalized and focused way in improving the mental well-being of young people in the community. In the end, the possible design and promotion of specific, guided and evidence-based self-help brief online music intervention by listening to music daily as a lifestyle change can be an economic, convenient and evidenced-based mental well-being intervention strategy among the youth at a population level. Aim: To study the effects of listening to an expert-selected, theory-guided and self-chosen online song each day actively in a personalized and focused way (Brief Online Music Intervention: BOMI) in improving mental well-being among young people in the community in Hong Kong Hypothesis: Listening to an expert-selected, theory-guided and self-chosen song each day actively in a personalized and focused way (Brief Online Music Intervention: BOMI) can improve mental well-being in the community among young people

Study description: The present study seeks to investigate factors associated with well-being in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic, three months following the introduction of the strict social distancing interventions in Norway. Hypotheses and research questions: Research Question 1: What is the level of mental well-being following three months of strict mitigation strategies (i.e., physical distancing) in the general adult population during the COVID-19 pandemic? The mean level of mental well-being will be benchmarked against the mean level of mental well-being in similar pre-pandemic samples. Hypothesis 1: Physical activity, being employed, positive metacognitions, negative metacognitions, and unhelpful coping strategies at T1 will significantly predict well-being (T2). Being employed and increased reports of physical activity at T2 will predict higher levels of mental well-being at the measurement period (T2) and serve as protective factors. Increased positive metacognitions, negative metacognitions and unhelpful coping strategies measured with CAS-1 at T2 will predict lower levels of well-being (T2). Additionally, we will examine whether the obtained predictive relationships hold when depressive symptoms (PHQ-9) and anxiety symptoms (GAD-7) at T2 will be controlled for. Exploratory: Do the predictors physical activity, positive metacognitions, negative metacognitions, unhelpful coping strategies, all at baseline (T1), predict mental well-being at T2, beyond and above these same aforementioned predictors at T2 and age, gender, and education? In all predictive analyses, age, gender, and education will be controlled for. Exploratory: We will exploratory investigate the differences in levels of mental well-being across different demographic subgroups in the sample.
The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction among school teachers in Danish schools on mental weii-being in the teachers and their pupils. The study is a cluster-randomised trial including 150 schools; 200 teachers; 4000 pupils from the five geographical regions in Denmark.
Aims: To enhance mental well-being of adults by creating a positive, happy and joyful environment in the community. Targets: Adults aged 18-59 in Hong Kong. Methods: SME Ambassadors Pilot Project will adopt the public health and family-focused approach, under the brand name of "Joyful@HK Campaign". Evidence-based and Evidence Generating approach with vigorous study design, both qualitative (e.g. focus groups) and quantitative (e.g. pre- and post- test), will be used to evaluate the overall programme effectiveness including follow-up of at least one month ("best science"). To ensure the practicability and sustainability of the community-based engagement project, we will engage community partners with strong track records of "best practice" to design, plan, and implement the intervention. This project will use innovative and integrated positive psychology and public health theories and methods to plan brief, simple, and cost-effective intervention. Significance: By using "best science" in the design and evaluation of intervention programme, and the "best practice" of the partners' skills, experience and strong connection with service targets in the community, the intervention, if proven to be effective, for promoting sharing, mind and enjoyment and enhancing mental well-being can be further developed and widely disseminated to and adopted by the practitioners in the health and social service sectors for replication and improvement to benefit the whole population.

The Alpha Omega Cohort is a prospective study of 4,837 state-of-the-art drug-treated Dutch patients aged 60-80 years who had a clinically diagnosed myocardial infarction up to 10 years before enrolment. During the first 40 months of follow-up, patients took part in an experimental study of low doses n-3 fatty acids (Alpha Omega Trial, ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00127452). At baseline (2002-2006), data on medical history, medication use, diet, lifestyle and other factors were collected by means of questionnaires. Patients were physically examined by trained research nurses and blood samples were obtained. Follow-up for vital status and cause-specific mortality is ongoing. The trial was approved by a central medical ethics committee (Haga Hospital, The Hague, The Netherlands) and all patients provided written informed consent.
