NCT07365891
The goal of this study is to find out how well adolescents in Dutch-speaking secondary schools in Brussels can recognize emotional neglect, and how this relates to their intention to seek help. The main research questions are: 1. How well do adolescents recognize situations of emotional neglect, and do boys and girls differ in their recognition? 2. Does recognition of emotional neglect predict adolescents' intention to seek help? This study is conducted through an online survey. Participants will read one of four short written stories about an adolescent experiencing emotional neglect. The stories vary by gender (boy or girl) and by the clarity of the neglect (clear or ambiguous). After reading, participants answer questions about the story, including their thoughts and how they might respond in a similar situation. They also answer questions about their own experiences and attitudes toward help-seeking.
NCT07204444
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the BE WITH (Belonging through Empathy With Intentional Targeted Helping) innovation delivered to older adults improves their mental health. It will also learn about the treatment components that led to improvements. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Over the course of the 8 week standardized and manualized warm calling treatment, are mental health outcomes improved for the BE and BE + ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) treatment conditions relative to a control group? 2. Are there differential outcomes for older adults who start the treatment at low, medium, or high risk? (as defined by a baseline aggregate of measures)? 3. How is this improvement manifested for particular aspects of mental health (i.e. depression, social needs, suicide desire, and overall quality of life)? Participants will: 1. answer questions from a trained data collector to get their baseline, 2. receive 8 weeks of warm calls for 2 months (if assigned to one of the 2 treatment conditions, if assigned to control they will have the option to receive treatment at a later time), and (c) be assessed every 2 weeks.
NCT03631745
This study is a cluster randomized controlled trial of a Latino church-based intervention in Los Angeles and Riverside Counties. This study aims to leverage the collective resources of Latino religious congregations and the National Alliance on Mental Illness to test the effectiveness of a multi-component intervention directed at reducing stigma, increasing mental health literacy, and improving access to mental health services.
NCT05818228
Individuals who report experiencing any kind of abuse during childhood report shame and self-blame, often leading to self-stigma and a reluctance to reveal their experiences and seek help. Such stigma may aggravate the mental health consequences of child maltreatment (CM). The aim of the proposed study is twofold: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief video-based intervention in reducing self-stigma among individuals who experienced childhood abuse and/or maltreatment, and (2) to increase openness to seeking treatment.
NCT06375200
The aim of the current project is twofold, namely 1. To gain insight into needs related to help-seeking among men with (previous) suicidal thoughts (STUDY 1). More specifically, this study examines help-seeking behaviour, possible barriers to seeking help and needs with regard to existing tools and health care among men who had suicidal thoughts. In other words, is there a difference in help-seeking behaviour between men and women with suicidal thoughts in the past and what factors contribute to this difference? More specifically: 1. To what extent do men with suicidal thoughts in the past recognize their need for help, compared to women with suicidal thoughts in the past? 2. What barriers and needs do men with suicidal thoughts in the past experience towards seeking help, compared to women with suicidal thoughts in the past? 3. What barriers and needs do men with suicidal thoughts in the past experience to remain engaged in help, compared to women with suicidal thoughts in the past? 2. To map out needs of healthcare providers in working with men with suicidal thoughts and/or behaviour (STUDY 2). More specifically, how do healthcare providers experience working with men who are feeling suicidal and what are their experienced barriers and needs. Two main research questions were formulated: 1. How do health care providers experience working with men (in comparison to women or people of other genders) who are feeling suicidal? 2. What needs and barriers do health care providers experience when working with men (in comparison to women or people of other genders) who are feeling suicidal?
NCT05826132
The mental health consequences of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease of 2019) pandemic are likely to be vast, exceeding the capacity of mental health services and delaying treatment for people in need, with devastating consequences for those affected. Emerging data suggest that frontline health workers (e.g. physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians) and essential workers (in industries such as energy, and food products and services) face particular risks for mental health problems during and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, our previous findings have shown that among these higher risk individuals, young adults and women reported greater levels of clinical symptoms. To address the unprecedented mental health needs during and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic this study will develop and test novel, cost-effective and scalable, digitally-delivered mental health interventions, and will test this approach by focusing on health care workers and other essential workers with an eye toward the young adult portion of this population.
NCT06574074
Depression is a serious public health concern worldwide due to its high prevalence rate and significant emotional and financial burden on individuals, their families, and society. There is a substantial gap between the number of people in need of treatment for depression and those who actually receive it. The recent World Health Organization (WHO) World Mental Health Survey revealed that 86.3% of people with anxiety, mood, or substance disorders in lower-middle-income countries did not receive any treatment in the past 12 months. This study aims to evaluate a community-based intervention to address demand-side barriers by improving mental health literacy, dispelling myths and misconceptions about depression, changing negative attitudes towards depression care, and promoting help-seeking behavior.
NCT06440798
The study will aim to explore the relationship between mental health content on social media and health behavior, addressing a gap in empirical research. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior, a survey with over 600 participants will examine associations between exposure to mental health content and behaviors like help-seeking and self-diagnosis.
NCT05813197
The purpose of this project is to increase understanding of the development, implementation and effectiveness of interventions for young people transitioning from societal care to independent living. The project examines the effect of interventions and how change mechanisms relate to a range of outcomes.
NCT03407443
This pilot study seeks to determine if exposure to the Make the Connection campaign messages developed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is associated with changes in mental-health related outcomes, specifically: (1) psychosocial determinants that drive help seeking behaviors (knowledge, attitudes and intentions); and (2) perceived barriers to seeking care. Participants are randomly assigned to message exposure or control (no exposure) conditions. Data from this project will inform mental health education and outreach efforts targeted towards Veterans experiencing mental health concerns.
NCT05499468
Investigators will assess the efficacy of a physician popular opinion leader-led intervention to increase awareness and utilization of existing evidence-based coaching or therapy among post-graduate clinical trainees at Stanford.
NCT04311203
This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of Mental Health First Aid in the workplace. Half of the organisations will receive Mental Health First Aid training and half will receive treatment as usual (a brief consultation from Mental health First Aid England on mental health and well-being in the workplace).
NCT03633916
The primary objective of this embedded stepped-wedge, cluster randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of a classroom sensitization (intervention condition), over and above the school-level sensitization activities (control condition), on referrals to a host trial (examining the effectiveness of a problem-solving intervention delivered by lay counsellors). The primary hypothesis is that the classroom-level sensitization intervention will be associated with a higher overall referral rate into the host trial (i.e. the proportion of adolescents referred as a function of the total sampling frame in each condition). The secondary hypotheses are that, compared with the control condition, the intervention condition will be associated with a greater proportion of referred students who meet eligibility criteria for inclusion in the host trial and a greater proportion of students who self-refer. We will also explore whether there are any differences between conditions in terms of the severity of total symptoms and symptom subtypes presented by referred adolescents.
NCT03145363
The goal of this research project is to conduct a pilot RCT of Text4Strength, an interactive automated text messaging extension of Sources of Strength (SoS), a universal school-based suicide prevention program that prepares diverse 'key opinion leaders' to conduct public health messaging and activities with peers to increase school-wide positive coping norms, communication with trusted adults, and seeking help for suicidal peers (Wyman et al., 2010). The investigators previously developed and field tested Text4Strength messages (RSRB#00047481 and 53924 closed) to demonstrate feasibility, safety, student engagement, and student-perceived relevance for a universal texting extension. The investigators will now conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial in one large school in Western New York that has implemented Sources of Strength for the past two years. The school will continue with Sources of Strength in the 2016-17 school, and add this school-wide texting component as part of this research study. Consistent with Leon's guidelines on pilot studies, the primary focus will be to identify areas of promise, success in reaching proximate targets, and the need for additional modifications (Leon, Davis, \& Kraemer, 2011). Findings from this study will inform further refinement of the text messaging program and provide preliminary data for a larger efficacy trial.
