The ASCEND intervention is designed to equip supervisors with the skills to: i) know when to support their workers; ii) how to direct workers to support, and iii) advocate for action on mental health at work.\n\nThe primary objectives of this project are to:\n\n* Assess to what extent the novel, WHO-developed ASCEND intervention is effective in enhancing supervisors' confidence, responsiveness, mental health literacy, and SelfCare practices, and in reducing supervisor stigma towards mental health conditions within Dutch SMEs.\n* Evaluate the impact of the ASCEND intervention on employee outcomes, including mental health and work-related outcomes among supervisees (i.e., subordinates), as well as overall organizational absenteeism rates.\n* Identify barriers, facilitators, and key implementation and adoption indicators to support future opportunities for scaling up the ASCEND intervention in the context of Dutch SMEs.\n\nResearchers will compare two groups to evaluate the effectiveness of the ASCEND intervention. One group will receive the training (the intervention group), while the other group will receive the training after the final follow-up period (the control group).\n\nData will be collected from both supervisors and their supervisees (i.e., subordinates) via online questionnaires at various time points. In addition, general organizational information, including absenteeism rates, will be gathered through a representative from each participating organization.\n\nTo further explore the feasibility of scaling up the ASCEND intervention within the Netherlands, qualitative data will be collected through interviews and\u002For focus group discussions.",[82,83,84,85,86],"Occupational Health","Stress","Burnout","Mental Health Conditions","Sickness Absence",[88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99],"Workplace mental health","Occupational stress","Sickness absence","Supervisors","Line managers","Absenteeism","Presenteeism","Employee well-being","Workplace intervention","Manager training","ASCEND","Advancing Supervisors' Capacity for Mental Health at Work","2025-11-18",{"date":102,"type":103},"2025-11-19","ACTUAL",{"date":105,"type":103},"2025-05-14",{"date":107,"type":76},"2026-09",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
