Adolescent - Emotional Problem

The aim of this study is to conduct a multi-country randomized waitlist controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and scalability of the optimized Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) for Parents and Teens program in Moldova and North Macedonia. In Phase 2 of the FLOURISH project, a factorial trial tested multiple intervention components and identified the optimized intervention package. In Phase 3, this trial will assess the implementation, outcomes, and economic impact of the optimized PLH program delivered to adolescents aged 10-14 and their caregivers. ALTERNATIVA will deliver the program in North Macedonia and the Health for Youth Association in the Republic of Moldova.

The purpose of the present study is to conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) of a parent coaching intervention for parents of youth hospitalized for suicidal ideation, suicide attempt(s), or non-suicidal self-injury. Parents will receive either the parent coaching intervention (which includes safety planning and behavioral parenting skills training with a clinician and assistance with linkage to follow-up care by a case manager) or treatment as usual (TAU) for the inpatient unit. The long-term goal of the research is to determine if augmenting standard inpatient treatment with additional parenting intervention improves youth treatment response on suicide-related outcomes (i.e., suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injury, and suicide attempts). The goal of this pilot RCT is to collect preliminary data needed for a larger RCT, including feasibility, acceptability, safety, tolerability, engagement of the presumed mechanism of change (changes in parent emotions and behaviors), and signal detection of any changes in youth suicide-related outcomes.

Background: Currently in China, adolescent asthma care is characterized by both undertreatment and overtreatment. Patients in this age group may exhibit negative emotions toward disease treatment and long-term control. Insufficient disease knowledge, irregular lifestyle habits, and negative attitudes toward the disease can all reduce medication adherence, affect disease control outcomes, and thereby increase the risk of severe chronic respiratory conditions and disease burden in adulthood. Objectives: To assess disease control status in adolescent asthma patients, evaluate the psychological well-being of patients and their family members, and understand patients' self-management skills and readiness for transition to adulthood. Procedures: Eligible participants will complete a series of assessment questionnaires through the Youran Huxi mobile application, including questionnaires on asthma control, physical activity, psychological health, self-management behaviors, and transition readiness. The study period is 12 months; the baseline assessment involves one-time completion of written questionnaires with no interim follow-up visits. The study does not intervene in clinical diagnosis or treatment decisions.

This is a naturalistic treatment and follow-up study of youth with bipolar spectrum disorders (BSDs) across four US sites of The Childhood Bipolar Network (CBN). CBN sites have expertise in diagnosing, assessing, and treating BSDs in youth. The primary aims of this study are to (1) identify and reliably diagnose youth (ages 9 to 19 yrs) with full bipolar disorder (BD) and BSDs, and (2) examine predictors (e.g., mood instability, inflammatory marker C-reactive protein) of clinical outcome over a 12 month period. Participating youth will initially complete a screening that includes a structured diagnostic interview and a baseline blood draw to measure inflammatory processes. Youth with BSD and parents (80 families) will be asked to participate in multiple follow up research visits with interviews, rating instruments, and questionnaires. Per established CBN guidelines, study psychiatrists will provide and track medication management and sites will also track psychosocial treatments. This study ultimately aims to further understanding of best practice pediatric BSD psychiatric and psychosocial treatments and development of a standardized and validated set of clinical tools for patient assessment, diagnosis, and tracking.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to pilot test a novel, alternative, potentially sustainable system of teacher-delivered, task-shifted adolescent mental health care. Participants: Principals of 60 rural, low-cost private secondary schools of the Darjeeling Himalayas will be invited to participate as a school and an individual. Teachers will be approached individually. Two students per teacher who meet inclusion criteria will be randomly chosen for enrollment. Procedures: This is a RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) guided, mixed methods CRCT, clustered at schools, of Tealeaf-A's Reach, Adoption \& Implementation (Primary Outcomes, implementation-based), as well as evaluating for preliminary indicators of Effectiveness \& Maintenance (Secondary Outcomes, clinically-based).

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of a new therapist-guided rule based intervention in Bergen Municipality, Child and Family help center. Do they have a decrease in anxiety symptoms following the intervention? Do they have an increase in functional level following the intervention? Researchers will compare the therapist-guided rule based intervention with treatment as usual for adolescents with mild to moderate anxiety. Participants will use the intervention, which is based on CBT, for 8 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to assess the (cost)effectivity of Equine assisted Therapy in adolescents with Autism Spectrum disorders.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to find out whether the brief, 10-session Developmentally Oriented Cognitive Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder (DOCT-SAD) is more effective than standard counseling (SC) to treat Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) among 12 to 17-year-old adolescents with SAD. Potential participants for the study are identified from school health and well-being services (SHWS). The DOCT-SAD is delivered by method-trained school psychologists working in the SHWS. SC will be provided by non-method-trained SHWS professionals (i.e. school nurses, social workers or school psychologists) according to their routine counselling practice. The main research questions of the study are: 1. Is DOCT-SAD more effective than SC for alleviating symptoms of social anxiety? 2. Is DOCT-SAD more effective than SC to produce diagnostic remission from primary SAD and alleviating symptom severity associated with SAD? 3. Is DOCT-SAD more effective than SC for alleviating co-occurring depressive symptoms, interference in daily functioning due to worry or fears, and for increasing general well-being, positive mental health, and for improving the quality of life among adolescents with SAD? Researchers will compare DOCT-SAD with SC to see if DOCT-SAD is effective in the treatment of SAD in adolescents. Participants will: * be treated either with DOCT-SAD or SC for 10 weeks. * be followed up and assessed clinically at six-month and twelve-month follow-up points.

Assess the prevalence of medico-psychological characteristics at the time of placement (M0), their appearance / disappearance and during the two years following placement (M12 and M24) by age group in children / adolescents in Child Protective Services and placed full-time in the structures of Seine-Maritime and Eure as well as in nursery in Le Havre or Rouen
