Objective: This study examined whether a responsive parenting (RP) intervention for first-time Black mothers had secondary benefits for their mental health by reducing their postpartum depressive symptoms.
Method: In total, 212 first-time Black mothers participated in the Sleep Strong African American Families randomized control trial. Mothers were randomized to the RP condition or a safety control condition at 1-week postpartum. Participants reported their depressive symptoms at 1-, 8-, and 16-week postpartum. Data were analyzed using linear regression and moderation analyses.
Results: There was not a significant main effect of the intervention condition on mothers' depressive symptoms at 8- or 16-week postpartum. However, at 8-week postpartum, the main effect of the condition was significantly moderated by mothers' depressive symptoms at baseline: Mothers in the RP condition reported significantly lower levels of 8-week depressive symptoms than mothers in the safety control condition if they initially had clinically significant depressive symptoms but did not differ from controls if they did not initially have clinically significant depressive symptoms. This interaction effect was not significant at 16-week postpartum. Effects remained consistent, controlling for demographic variables, which did not significantly moderate condition effects at 8- or 16-week postpartum.
Conclusion: Participation in the Sleep Strong African American Families responsive parenting intervention led to a more rapid reduction in depressive symptoms among first-time Black mothers with clinically significant depressive symptoms at baseline relative to the control condition. Findings suggest that family-focused responsive parenting interventions may serve as forms of "constructed resilience" that promote positive mental health early in the postpartum period.

目的:本研究探讨了反应性育儿(RP)干预是否通过减少产后抑郁症状对黑人母亲的心理健康有二次益处。方法:共有212名首次成为黑人母亲的女性参加了“睡眠充足的非裔美国家庭”随机对照试验。在产后1周,母亲被随机分配到RP条件或安全对照条件。参与者在产后1周、8周和16周报告了他们的抑郁症状。数据分析采用线性回归和适度分析。结果:干预条件对产后8周和16周母亲抑郁症状无显著主影响。然而,在产后8周,这种情况的主要影响被母亲在基线时的抑郁症状显著缓解:RP条件下的母亲报告的8周抑郁症状水平显著低于安全对照条件下的母亲,如果她们最初有临床显著的抑郁症状,但如果她们最初没有临床显著的抑郁症状,则与对照组没有差异。这种交互作用在产后16周时不显著。在控制人口统计学变量后,效果保持一致,在产后8周或16周没有显著的缓和状况影响。结论:与对照组相比,参与睡眠充足的非裔美国人家庭响应性育儿干预可使具有临床显著抑郁症状的首次黑人母亲的抑郁症状在基线时更快地减轻。研究结果表明,以家庭为中心的响应性育儿干预措施可能作为“构建弹性”的形式,在产后早期促进积极的心理健康。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,版权所有)。

Objective: Sexual assault (SA) is unfortunately common in U.S. college campuses. Friends are central to the social context of college women, and thus to the context of SA, and thus may play a key role in SA prevention. The objective of the present study was to provide a preliminary test of a novel friend-based motivational intervention (FMI) that encourages and prepares friends to work together to reduce SA risk.
Method: In a pilot trial, 51 friend dyads (N = 102) were randomized to either FMI or waitlist control (WLC) conditions and then followed over 3 months. Participant perceptions of the intervention and intervention-associated outcomes (engagement in friend-based assault protective behaviors [FAPB], readiness to change, barriers, sexual assault occurrences) were examined.
Results: Those in the FMI reported greater readiness to engage in efforts to protect their friend against SA and reported higher rates of FAPB across time points relative to the WLC. Though not statistically significant, women in the FMI also reported half as many incidences of SA at the 3-month follow-up. We did not observe decreases in perceived barriers to intervening that were targeted with the FMI. Participant feedback on their experiences with the FMI was positive; women reported that FMI was empowering, personally relevant, and useful.
Conclusions: Findings point to the promise of this dyad-based motivational intervention that capitalizes on the natural resource of women's friendships to decrease risk for sexual assault. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
目的:不幸的是,性侵犯在美国大学校园中很常见。朋友是大学女生的社会环境的中心,因此也是SA的环境的中心,因此可能在SA的预防中起关键作用。本研究的目的是为一种新的基于朋友的动机干预(FMI)提供初步测试,该干预鼓励并准备朋友一起工作以降低SA风险。方法:在一项先导试验中,51对朋友(N = 102)被随机分为FMI组或等候名单对照组(WLC),然后随访3个多月。参与者对干预和干预相关结果的感知(参与基于朋友的攻击保护行为[FAPB],改变的准备程度,障碍,性侵犯发生)进行了调查。结果:与WLC相比,FMI组的人更愿意努力保护他们的朋友免受SA的伤害,并且报告了更高的FAPB发生率。虽然没有统计学上的显著性,但在3个月的随访中,FMI组的女性也报告了一半的SA发生率。我们没有观察到FMI所针对的干预障碍的减少。参与者对FMI体验的反馈是积极的;妇女报告说,FMI赋予了她们权力,与她们个人息息相关,而且很有用。结论:研究结果表明,这种基于夫妻关系的动机干预有望利用女性友谊这一自然资源来降低性侵犯的风险。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,版权所有)。

Mental health care in the United States is prohibitively difficult to access. Barriers of entry include a shortage of providers, high cost of services, insufficient insurance coverage, and layers of bureaucracy. This problem of low supply and high demand created a unique environment for capitalist problem solvers to enter the therapeutic market, via "therapy-matching platforms." Several ethically related Federal Trade Commission (FTC) complaints and independent investigations into these platforms highlight that the forward progress is not without growing pains. This commentary focuses on ensuring proper informed consent when providing services on therapy-matching platforms (e.g., BetterHelp, TalkSpace).

Objective: The goal of this study was to test if a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) compared to an active control ameliorates the impacts of life stressors on momentary mindfulness and emotion regulation difficulties among adolescents exposed to chronic stressors.
Method: Adolescents exposed to chronic stressors (N = 81, Mage = 13.75 years; 56% boys; 24% Hispanic/Latino, 57% White) were randomized to receive MBI within the context of a community-based mentoring program (MBI + mentoring) or mentoring-alone. Participants completed ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) three times each day for 7 days at three intervals/bursts (preintervention, midintervention, and postintervention), contributing to a total of 3,178 EMA reports. EMA assessed momentary exposure to life stressors, mindfulness (vs. mindlessness), and emotion regulation difficulties.
Results: Linear mixed-effects models revealed that the interaction between intervention arm (MBI + mentoring vs. mentoring-alone) and burst was significantly associated with the random slopes of life stressor exposure predicting mindful attention (b = -.05, SE = .01, p < .001), mindful nonjudgment (b = -.03, SE = .01, p < .001), and emotion regulation difficulties (b = -.04, SE = .01, p < .001). Estimated marginal means revealed that MBI + mentoring, compared to mentoring-alone, produced small but significant attenuation in the association of life stressors with mindful attention, mindful nonjudgment, and emotion regulation difficulties at postintervention.
Conclusion: Mindfulness training may buffer adolescents exposed to chronic stressors against the negative impacts of life stressors on mindfulness and emotion regulation in daily life. Going forward, it will be important to investigate these relationships in the context of mental/physical health outcomes and to include longer periods of follow-up to determine the sustainable benefits of MBI for adolescent health.

目的:本研究的目的是检验正念干预(MBI)与主动控制相比,是否能改善生活压力源对慢性压力源暴露青少年瞬间正念和情绪调节困难的影响。方法:慢性应激源暴露青少年(N = 81,年龄= 13.75;56%的男孩;24%的西班牙裔/拉丁裔,57%的白人)被随机分为在社区指导计划(MBI +指导)或单独指导的背景下接受MBI。参与者每天完成三次生态瞬时评估(EMA),持续7天,分三个间隔/爆发(干预前、干预中期和干预后),共完成3178份EMA报告。EMA评估了瞬间暴露于生活压力源、正念(vs.无意识)和情绪调节困难。结果:线性混合效应模型显示,干预组(MBI +辅导vs.单独辅导)和burst之间的交互作用与生活压力源暴露预测正念注意力的随机斜率显著相关(b = -)。0.05, SE = .01, p < .001),正念不判断(b = -。03, SE = .01, p < .001),情绪调节困难(b = -。04, SE = .01, p < .001)。估计的边际均值显示,干预后,与单独指导相比,MBI +指导对生活压力源与正念注意、正念不判断和情绪调节困难的关联产生了虽小但显著的衰减。结论:正念训练可以缓冲慢性应激源对青少年正念和情绪调节的负面影响。展望未来,重要的是在心理/身体健康结果的背景下调查这些关系,并包括更长时间的随访,以确定MBI对青少年健康的可持续益处。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,版权所有)。

Objective: Cancer-specific psychological interventions like cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) demonstrate distress (e.g., anxiety/depression) and quality of life (QoL) benefits. Digital formats can expand access.
Method: Patients (80.6% female; 76.5% White; 25-80 years) with Stage I-III cancer and elevated anxiety within 6 months of treatment (surgery/chemotherapy/radiation/immunotherapy) receipt were randomized 1:1 to a 10-module CBSM or health education control digital app and completed questionnaires at Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12. Primary outcomes of greater group-level anxiety (PROMIS-A) and depression symptom (PROMIS-D) reductions for CBSM were met and published; this secondary report evaluates individual-level response results for these outcomes and outcomes beyond anxiety and depression. Chi-square tests compared responder proportions using PROMIS-A/PROMIS-D symptom categories and two levels (≥5/≥7.5) of T-score point reductions. Changes across conditions over time for stress (Perceived Stress Scale), cancer-specific distress (Impact of Event Scale-Intrusions), and QoL (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General) were analyzed using repeated measures linear mixed-effects modeling (N = 449). Patient Global Impression of Change-Well-being was also examined.
Results: At Week 12, a greater proportion of CBSM (vs. control) participants reported normal-to-mild (vs. moderate-to-severe) PROMIS-A and PROMIS-D, and a greater proportion of CBSM participants at Week 8 or 12 had a ≥7.5 T-score reduction in PROMIS-A and a ≥5 T-score reduction in PROMIS-D (ps < .05). CBSM participants (vs. control) showed significantly greater reductions in Perceived Stress Scale and Impact of Event Scale-Intrusions and increases in Patient Global Impression of Change-Well-being and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy emotional and physical well-being (ps < .05), but not functional or social/family well-being.
Conclusion: Digitized CBSM benefits distress and QoL. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

This brief commentary critically examines the study "Psychotherapies for the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder: A Systematic Review" by Crotty et al. (2023) It highlights several methodological and reporting concerns that impact the study's credibility and conclusions. Key issues include the retrospective registration of the study protocol, discrepancies in authorship and protocol content, lack of clarity in inclusion and exclusion criteria, and limitations in geographical scope without clear justification. Furthermore, the letter discusses inconsistencies in the risk of bias and quality of evidence assessments, particularly in the application of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system. These methodological shortcomings question the study's findings, contrasting with other comprehensive reviews in the field. The critique emphasizes the importance of methodological rigor and transparency in systematic reviews, especially those influencing clinical practice and policy decisions in mental health care.

Replies to comments made by Mattos et al. (see record 2025-49982-003) on the original article (see record 2024-19816-001). Mattos et al. critiqued our assessments of the certainty of evidence as being overly permissive and not adhering to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group's guidelines. GRADE has become an international standard to describe the level of confidence that investigators have in estimates of effects. Like the risk of bias evaluations, determining the certainty of evidence involves subjective judgment. The true value of GRADE is not in yielding a definitive evidence certainty rating but in its emphasis on transparency. While we acknowledge and respect the differing viewpoints of Mattos et al. regarding our ratings, we caution against the rigid and formulaic use of the GRADE methodology.

GRADE has become an international standard to describe the level of confidence that investigators have in estimates of effects. Like the risk of bias evaluations, determining the certainty of evidence involves subjective judgment. The true value of GRADE is not in yielding a definitive evidence certainty rating but in its emphasis on transparency. While we acknowledge and respect the differing viewpoints of Mattos et al. regarding our ratings, we caution against the rigid and formulaic use of the GRADE methodology.

Objective: Research has identified racial/ethnic disparities in mental health treatment engagement, and there have been recent calls to examine effects of mental health treatment engagement on clinical outcomes among youth of color. This study aimed to examine racial/ethnic differences in (a) behavioral and attitudinal engagement, (b) treatment effectiveness, and (c) the associations between engagement and treatment effectiveness.
Method: N = 200 youth (ages 7-15; 33% White, 28% Black, 25% Hispanic/Latinx, and 14% multiracial; 52% male) and their N = 200 parents participated in a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of a transdiagnostic psychotherapy for common youth emotional and behavioral problems. Youth and parents reported internalizing and externalizing symptoms and treatment engagement (e.g., behavioral and attitudinal). Multilevel regression models examined variations in youth symptom trajectories by racial/ethnic group.
Results: While all racial/ethnic groups showed comparable attitudinal engagement scores, Black and Latinx youth attended significantly fewer sessions than White and multiracial youth (8-9 vs. 13). However, youth in all racial/ethnic groups showed significant and similar improvements in treatment outcomes.
Conclusions: Black and Latinx youth attended fewer sessions than White youth, but their clinical outcomes were similar to those of White youth. Future research should examine the meaning and implications of session attendance in relation to outcomes in youth of color. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
目的:研究已经确定了心理健康治疗参与的种族/民族差异,并且最近有呼吁检查心理健康治疗参与对有色人种青年临床结果的影响。本研究旨在探讨种族/民族在以下方面的差异:(a)行为和态度参与;(b)治疗效果;(c)参与与治疗效果之间的关系。方法:青年200人(7 ~ 15岁);33%为白人,28%为黑人,25%为西班牙裔/拉丁裔,14%为多种族;(52%男性)和他们的N = 200名父母参加了一项随机对照试验,测试了跨诊断心理治疗对常见青少年情绪和行为问题的有效性。青年和家长报告了内化和外化症状和治疗参与(例如,行为和态度)。多水平回归模型检验了种族/民族群体中青少年症状轨迹的变化。结果:虽然所有种族/民族群体都表现出相当的态度参与得分,但黑人和拉丁裔青年参加的会议明显少于白人和多种族青年(8-9比13)。然而,所有种族/民族群体的年轻人在治疗结果方面都表现出显著和相似的改善。结论:黑人和拉丁裔青年参加的会议比白人青年少,但他们的临床结果与白人青年相似。未来的研究应该检查参加会议的意义和影响与有色人种青年的结果有关。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,版权所有)。

Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of a brief cognitive dual-task (using eye movements) add-on module to treatment as usual (TAU) in reducing the severity and frequency of intrusive suicidal mental images and suicidal ideation.
Method: We conducted a single-blind, parallel multicenter randomized trial (No. NTR7563) among adult psychiatric outpatients (N = 91; Mage = 34.4, SD = 13.54; 68% female) with elevated depressive symptoms and experiencing distressing suicidal intrusions in the Netherlands. Primary outcome was the severity (Suicidal Intrusions Attributes Scale) and frequency (Clinical Interview for Suicidal Intrusions) of suicidal mental imagery intrusions at 1-week posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. Primary analysis was intention-to-treat.
Results: Between November 27, 2018 and September 13, 2021, 91 patients were included and randomly assigned to intervention group (Cognitive Dual Task Add-on + TAU) (n = 46) or TAU-only (n = 45). Cognitive Dual Task Add-on + TAU had greater reductions in severity (mean difference, -15.50, 95% CI [23.81, -7.19]; p < .001, d = 0.60), and frequency (geometric mean difference, 0.47, 95% CI [0.29, 0.79]; p = .004) of suicidal intrusions over time than TAU-alone. Cognitive Dual Task Add-on + TAU patients also showed lower suicidal ideation over time (p = .008, d = 0.42). There were no significant group differences in reductions in depressive symptoms, rumination, or hopelessness. Four serious adverse events occurred (three Cognitive Dual Task Add-on + TAU; one TAU-only); all unlikely attributable to intervention/trial.
Conclusions: Findings provide support for the effectiveness of adding a cognitive dual-task module to the treatment of psychiatric outpatients with elevated depressive symptoms in reducing suicidal intrusions and ideation and can be executed safely.

Objective: To examine short-term (i.e., postintervention) outcomes from a randomized controlled trial comparing a school-based telehealth-delivered depression prevention program, Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST), to services as usual (SAU). We expected IPT-AST would be acceptable and feasible and that IPT-AST adolescents would experience greater reductions in depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and impairment compared with SAU.
Method: Adolescents (N = 242; Mage = 14.80 years, SD = 0.70; 65% female; 21% Black; 13% Hispanic/Latinx) with elevated scores on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977) at screening provided data at baseline, 2-month (midpoint of IPT-AST), and 3-month (postintervention) assessments. They reported depression symptoms on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, anxiety symptoms on the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (Birmaher et al., 1997), and impairment on the Columbia Impairment Scale (Bird et al., 1993). Baseline depression diagnosis was examined as a moderator.
Results: Hierarchical linear models showed that adolescents reported significant reductions in depression symptoms and impairment across conditions. IPT-AST adolescents reported significantly greater reductions in anxiety symptoms than SAU adolescents, d = .39, 95% CI [.05, .72], p = .003. Depression diagnosis moderated outcomes (ds = .33-.34, ps ≤ .05), such that IPT-AST adolescents without a diagnosis at baseline showed greater improvements in depression and anxiety symptoms than SAU adolescents. Adolescents in SAU with a depression diagnosis at baseline showed greater improvements in impairment compared with IPT-AST. Attendance and satisfaction data demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of telehealth-delivered IPT-AST.
Conclusions: Results support telehealth-delivered IPT-AST as a promising intervention for improving short-term outcomes among adolescents with depression symptoms but without a depression diagnosis. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
