Filter by:The ECoWeB Project aims to develop and disseminate a mobile application (App) to provide engaging and personalized tools and psychological skills to promote emotional wellbeing and prevent mental health problems in adolescents and young adults. The project team involves 8 European nations (the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Greece, the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Switzerland) working together in order to improve mental health care and access for adolescents and young adults: - To use technology as a tool to assess and promote emotional well-being. - To deliver empirically supported psychological interventions through a smart phone application to address the needs of adolescents and young adults. - To improve mental well-being and prevent mental health problems in European adolescents and young adults. The ECoWeb project will consist of 2 RCT's within a longitudinal prospective cohort called ECoWeB-PROMOTE (indicating PROMOTION of well-being and good mental health) and ECoWeB-PREVENT (indicating PREVENTION of general distress, poor mental health and emotional disorders) respectively. These trials share the same recruitment procedure, interventions, outcomes (including self-report measures of well-being, anxiety, and depression) and design. Both are interested in the promotion of well-being and the prevention of general poor mental health in young people. The key difference is whether the participants are deemed to be at higher or lower risk criteria for poor mental health based on their general emotional competence skills, i.e., for those at low risk, do the interventions further enhance well-being, for those at higher risk, do the interventions prevent the worsening of poor mental health, general stress and distress, as well as enhancing well-being. In all cases the recruitment procedure will be the same, but the inclusion and exclusion criteria are different and the primary outcome measures are different hence they are 2 trials, rather than one, all running within the same cohort.
Physical inactivity has reached pandemic proportions and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Of particular concern is that most middle to older age adults fall far short of recommendations for health enhancing physical activities. This research takes a novel approach to tackling this problem by combining mindfulness with behavioral strategies in a unique 'Mindful Movement' program offered collaboratively with the YMCA.
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.
The investigators will test the value of an internet self-help package (E-Couch) for alleviating social anxiety symptoms in the general population. The investigators will undertake a trial of about 2000 participants to compare the effect of the E-Couch intervention compared to a wait-list control condition. Over a period of 12 months the investigators will measure the effect of using E-Couch self-help on social anxiety symptoms, as well as on mental wellbeing, and other secondary outcomes including quality of life, depression and general anxiety, and their use of other sources of help.
Nowadays, it is common to ingest beverages other than plain water, which range from flavored with a low energy input to others of high input. In Mexico, flavored beverage ingestion is believed to be displacing plain water; this phenomenon is raising concern in the health sector, due to the relation between flavored beverage intake and the increase in obesity and, consequently, chronic diseases. Up until now, there is no instrument available to characterize the perception of the Mexican population's well-being, beliefs and knowledge regarding plain water ingestion, nor is there an instrument capable of quantifying the daily water ingestion. The purpose of this study is design and validate a questionnaire to identify and evaluate the perception of well-being (PWBQ) related to plain water consumption in a sample of adult men and women of the city of Cuernavaca.
The purpose of this research study is to examine whether a short term meditation intervention can improve health, mood, and biological markers of cellular stress and aging in novice and experienced meditators compared to controls.
