A controlled pre-post design study on Take it Personal! has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the frequency and severity of youth use of alcohol, cannabis or other illicit drugs. Take it Personal! is an existing indicated prevention programme for substance use in youth with a mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning that addresses each participant's high-risk personality traits for substance abuse. The current Take it Personal! programme is further developed and optimized in collaboration with relevant stakeholders. In particular, the investigators aim to integrate personalized daily diary monitoring in the programme so that trainers can monitor client progresses closely and gain insights into change mechanisms, providing starting points for therapeutic efforts in programme sessions. The investigators conduct a series of case studies with a non-concurrent multiple baseline design to evaluate the effectiveness of Take it Personal!. The baseline lengths are randomly determined, and therefore the start of the intervention is staggered across participants.
Eating disorders (ED) are severe but treatable conditions, but there are large margin for improvements in terms of efficacy and adherence. There is room to explore new treatment options who are either more capable to retain patients in therapy, more effective. Alternative their efficacy may match the ones of current available treatments but offer new options to ones that did not respond to available therapies. Here the investigators explored if a combination of CBT-focused plus Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT) is an empirically supported therapy for personality disorders and could be a new viable treatment option for non-underweight ED. MIT targets some aspects of ED such as poor awareness of mental states and maladaptive interpersonal schemas that are not included in the transdiagnostic model underlying the most investigated empirically supported treatment for ED that is CBT-E. It is reasonable therefore that targeting these aspects of psychopathology can be a path to treatment adherence and effectiveness
Communication is a social process involving individuals exchanging messages. It is usual to observe different reactions according to the manner of communication, the manner in which such information is exchanged. In this work, it will be examined how different communication modalities cause different reactions in a person. We make the assumption that each communication modality is based on a different brain network.

The study is a epidemiological, cross-sectional study in a mainly rural area of Denmark in Denmark. Life expectancy is shorter, morbidity is higher, and social problems more prevalent than in the urban areas of the country. The population study aims at examining complexities of environmental, hereditary, lifestyle, and social factors as determinants and predisposing factors for morbidity, health, and quality of life. The study will cover physical, mental, and social dimensions and examine family patterns and subgroups. The study will provide baseline information for later follow-up.
