Sankofa Paradigm: A Therapeutic Theatre Program for Girls

The purpose of this study is to test the impact of a 6-week theatre intervention rooted in African culture (Sankofa) on the wellness of girls (predominately African American) ages 8-18 receiving services at five Boys & Girls Club Indianapolis sites. Theatre interventions are led by Asante theatre personnel and evaluated by the PI and occupational therapy graduate students. The theatre intervention being evaluated has been conducted for decades by an established theatre company with widespread community participation and anecdotal positive responses, but has not been scientifically evaluated to understand how it impacts wellbeing. This will be the first large-scale study of the mechanisms of change and of the impact of the theatre intervention in the community and will help to guide future therapeutic interventions using theatre with underserved populations. Research questions include: Is Sankofa a feasible and acceptable intervention for the target population? Does participation in Sankofa result in improved scores on wellness outcome measures, including the National Youth Outcomes Initiative (NYOI) survey? The study is funded by Asante Children's Theatre via the Central Indiana Community Foundation Women's Fund.

Reaching 90 90 90 in Adolescents in Zambia: Using All Our SKILLZ

"SKILLZ," is a mixed methods evaluation of the Grassroots Soccer (GRS) SKILLZ Package based in Lusaka, Zambia. The package is made up of three football-based programs: (1) SKILLZ-Girl - implemented in schools as part of a 10-week program culminating in a tournament event; (2) SKILLZ-Club - implemented as an ongoing extra-curricular activity after the completion of SKILLZ-Girl; (3) SKILLZ-Plus - a clinic based football group targeted at girls that are HIV-positive. The programs work together to build a continued support system which encourages uptake of Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) and HIV services, while facilitating ART adherence (for HV-positive participants) and continued engagement with health services over the long-term (whether to contraceptive methods, HIV prevention services, HIV repeat testing, and/or HIV treatment and care). The study team has developed an enhanced SKILLZ-Girl offering, which will include a comprehensive module on HIVST, contraceptives and PrEP, access to a nurse during the implementation of sessions and the additional offering of HIVST and contraceptive services at the event along with ongoing engagement through the SKILLZ-Club program (Enhanced Arm) , The central hypothesis is that this enhanced curriculum will increase HIV testing and contraceptive uptake compared to the standard SKILLZ curriculum & standard event (SOC Arm). The investigators further hypothesize that the intervention in the enhanced arm will positively and directly affect a number of mediating factors including attendance at soccer events where community-based SRH services are offered, SRH knowledge, empowerment, self-confidence, and perceptions of gender balance, and (reduced) stigma. For girls found to be HIV-positive, the follow-on SKILLZ intervention (SKILLZ-Plus) has been designed to facilitate linkage to HIV care and treatment, reduce HIV-related stigma, increase disclosure to family and partners, increase feelings of social support, empowerment, self-efficacy, and ultimately adherence to ARVs, viral load suppression (VLS) and retention in HIV care and treatment. This study will be conducted in up to 32 secondary schools that GRS currently serves in the Lusaka Urban District.

Effect of Problem-solving Therapy Offered Through a Web Platform on Levels of Stress

Work-related stress is a problem due to its repercussions on workers' health and productivity, which is why workplace interventions are required to reduce stress levels through coping techniques. One of the interventions in mental health to reduce levels of work stress are those based on the Internet and mobile applications, with proven effectiveness. Among the interventions are cognitive-behavioral therapies and within these the Problem Solving Therapy (PST). Therefore, there is a need to study the effect of Problem Solving Therapy offered through a web platform on the levels of self-perceived stress. However, there have been no studies on mental health interventions such as the TSP for the reduction of stress levels in office workers. For this reason, the objective of the study is to determine, through a randomized cluster trial, the effectiveness of problem-solving therapy offered through a web platform on self-perceived stress levels. Two scales will measure the levels of stress; one for self-perceived stress and another for work-related stress. Workers who have a high score on both scales will be enrolled. The establishments assigned to the intervention will receive the TSP distributed in 4 sessions. The establishments in the control group would have access to a web page with information on stress management. Immediately after having finished the last session, self-perceived stress levels will be evaluated. One month later a new measurement will be made to evaluate the persistence of the effect.

Examining the Feasibility of a Mobile Mental Health Application in Psychotherapy

There is an urgent need to better understand and manage the mental health burden among working adults. Up to 40% of persons with serious mental illnesses do not receive care or stop intervention programs due to negative stigma. Additionally, nearly 50 percent of respondents diagnosed with an anxiety disorder said it interfered with their relationships with coworkers. Close to $6000 USD is lost per working person each year due to depression and its effects. Rose (Recognition of Speech and Emotion) is a mental health-focused application that utilizes artificial intelligence to identify symptoms and provides targeted, tailored in-person therapy solutions for its users. The RoSE application provides solutions to supplement ongoing in-person psychotherapy. This includes journaling and daily assessments that provide curated content and feedback. The current feasibility study aims to recruit 45 established outpatients with at least mild depressive and/or anxiety symptoms who will be consented and enrolled in a five to ten-week study. There are two study arms: (1) the intervention arm and (2) a waitlist control arm. During the course of the study, the participants in the intervention arm will use the RoSE application daily. They will receive either weekly in-person psychotherapy with their established psychotherapist for a total of four sessions over four weeks or biweekly in-person psychotherapy with their established psychotherapist for a total of four sessions over eight weeks. The participants in the waitlist arm will serve as controls unless there is attrition from the intervention group at which time waitlist participants will be offered a spot in the intervention arm. The primary objectives of the study are (1) To assess the usability of the RoSE application and (2) To evaluate the short-term impact on mood and anxiety of using the RoSE application to augment in-person psychotherapy. The secondary objectives are (1) To examine the usage and utility of an in-application journaling function and (2) To examine the usage and utility of in-application curated insights.

A Mental Health Social Prescribing Trial (British Red Cross)

Social prescribing is a way of understanding the things that are important to a person and then using these to find groups and resources in their local community that can help them meet their goals and understand their problems. Social prescribing can be used with people who have physical health problems, mental health problems, social problems such as loneliness or financial/housing problems. The Welsh Government has supported the creation of these social prescribing services across Wales. However, the evidence showing that social prescribing is a good way of improving a person's well-being and quality of life is not very strong. This project is an evaluation of a new social prescribing service delivered by British Red Cross in two areas in Wales. British Red Cross have made a new social prescribing service, where a link worker works with a patient who has mild/moderate mental or emotional health problems, to understand their needs and set them goals for the future over 12 weeks of core support. The link worker will also help them find services in their local community that might help them achieve their goals. The study uses a waitlist trial, thus some participants will get to meet the link worker and have the intervention straight away, while others will have to wait for 20 working days. From this, the researchers can compare the people who had the intervention straight away with the people who had to wait. Scores on well-being and quality of life questionnaires will be used to see the effects of the intervention on participants.

Social Prescribing Improving Mental Health Study

This study aims to evaluate a new social prescribing service delivered by Mind Cymru in four communities in Wales. Mind Cymru have made a new social prescribing service, where a link worker works with a patient who has mild/moderate mental or emotional health problems, to understand their needs and set them goals for the future. The link worker will then help them find a service in their local community that might help them achieve their goals. The study uses a waitlist trial, which means that some participants will get to meet the link worker and have the intervention straight away, while others will have to wait for 20 working days. From this, the researchers can compare the people who had the intervention straight away with the people who had to wait. Scores on well-being, quality of life and loneliness questionnaires will be used to see the effects of the intervention on patients, whilst information like patient attendance at the General Practioner surgery will be used to see if there is a difference in the patient's use of health services.
