The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of Break Free from Depression (BFFD), a school-based depression awareness curriculum, in comparison to a wait list control group. A total of 13 eighth grade classrooms participated in either an intervention or control group and completed pre-, post-, and three-month follow-up surveys. Students participating in BFFD (N = 6 classrooms, 166 students) demonstrated enhanced knowledge of and more adaptive attitudes towards depression compared to the control group (N = 7 classrooms, 155 students). Participants in the BFFD intervention also demonstrated increases in their confidence in knowing how to seek help for depression and in their intent to seek this help if needed. Slight decreases were found at a three-month follow-up in all scales except for intent to seek help. BFFD was effective regardless of gender, ethnicity, or identification as a member of the LGBTQ community. There was a delayed effect on measured constructs for Black students with gains apparent at three-month follow-up. The findings demonstrated that BFFD had a small but significant positive impact on students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes in seeking support for themselves and for others when faced with signs of depression. The implementation of depression awareness curricula in schools hold promise in promoting student mental health, and it is important to consider factors that might have an impact on outcomes.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association of the mental health and diabetes-specific variables with the illness representations in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).Methods: A total of 115 children with T1DM were recruited through the outpatient clinic in Debrecen, Hungary. Our measures were The Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure Drawing Test (PRISM-D), Child Depression Inventory (CDI), Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale, and Self-Rated Health (SRH). Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbAlc) values were obtained from medical reports. Results: We found significant mild correlations amongst the mental health factors. Those children who can be characterized with clinical depressive symptoms drew significantly fewer (r = - 0.253; p < 0.05) circles with significantly less area (r = - 0.253; p < 0.05) at the PRISM-D test. Furthermore, those children who did not draw any important relationships possessed significantly more depressive symptoms than those who drew at least one important person. Those children who were diagnosed at a younger age, reported significantly better health condition (r = 0.215; p= 0.024), and displayed smaller distance (r = -0.261; p= 0.006) between the Self-circle and the Illness-circle. Conclusions: The PRISM-D test provides a more complex picture of the subjective effect of the disease, and thus appears a promising additional tool to analyse the emotional and cognitive representations and the psychological burden of T1DM. Beside the medical treatment of the T1DM-children, the earliest screening and psychological interventions for mental health problems are of high priority.

Purpose: Little is known about the role of active school travel (AST) on mental health among adolescents. Thus, this study aimed to explore the association between AST and depressive symptoms among adolescents aged 12-15 yeas from 26 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).Methods: Data from the Global school-based Student Health Survey were analyzed in 51,702 adolescents [mean (SD) age 13.8 (1.0) years; 49.3% girls). Self-reported measures assessed depressive symptoms during the past 12 months, and AST. Participants reporting yes for depressive symptoms and having 5 or more days for walking or cycling to school were regarded as having depressive symptoms and AST. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed and a countrywide meta-analysis undertaken. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms and AST were 30.0% and 37.0%, respectively. Compared with those not having AST, adolescents with AST were less likely to have self-reported depressive symptoms (OR = 0.88, 95%CI: 0.85-0.93) regardless of gender. Countrywide meta-analysis demonstrated that having AST versus not having AST was associated with 12% decreased odds for depressive symptoms (OR = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.82-0.94) but with a moderate between-country heterogeneity (I2 = 59.0%). Conclusion: The current study indicates that AST may be an effective prevention against depressive symptoms among adolescents from LMICs. However, when implementing interventions based on AST to reduce depressive symptoms, more country-specific factors should be taken into consideration. Future studies should adopt improved study design to confirm or negate our research findings, which informs public mental health interventions.

Abstract Many young males experience significant mental health concerns but do not access treatment. Community gatekeepers are individuals who are in contact with such groups and have the potential to support them in getting appropriate help. Sport coaches have been identified as potential gatekeepers for adolescent males, but are likely to need the support of parents for this role. This study investigated parent’s views of coaches as gatekeepers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 parents of adolescent males between the ages of 12 and 17 years, participating in five different sports. Four global themes emerged: communication; support; relationships; and, awareness. Many participants felt that the coach would be a good candidate for gatekeeper, but others felt that it would depend on how successful they are in relation to the skills identified in the themes. Future research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of gatekeeper training programmes for developing these skills.

Abstract Despite large government expenditures and the implementation of mental health-related initiatives and strategies, the social, emotional, and behavioral concerns about children remain a significant issue in Canada. Accordingly, our group has undertaken a three-arm cluster school-based field study in Western Canada to examine interventions intended to have positive impact on children. This article describes the structure and design of the study, the interventions deployed, and the challenges encountered in conducting this type of initiative. The main intervention is the PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX GBG), a school-based intervention designed to improve children’s self-regulation, prosocial behavior, and mental health outcomes. The study was designed to test the impact of the PAX GBG with or without school-based parenting support on classroom behavior, child outcomes for social-emotional and behavioral functioning, and teacher stress and wellbeing. The parenting support intervention draws on the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) to provide low-intensity programming for parents seeking to address common childhood behavioral issues. The article outlines the study’s research design, measures, and data collection procedures, describes the interventions, and discusses several practical and methodological challenges that occurred during implementation.

Abstract Guided by the theory of reasoned action, this study built a model to examine the ways in which mental health literacy (MHL), personal stigma, self-stigma, and social support collectively influence attitudes toward mental health help-seeking. A sample of 211 participants (age range 22–64; 67.62% females) from a cross-sectional survey that examined MHL of local public housing staffs in Texas were included in a structural equation modeling analysis. MHL directly influenced attitudes. Personal and self-stigma did not mediate the relationship between MHL and attitudes. Yet, self-stigma was significantly associated with attitudes. Social support positively predicted attitudes. Findings suggest the need for improving MHL and strengthening social support to promote positive attitudes toward mental health help-seeking. Mental health education to those who are at risk for mental illness and to families who are likely to influence help-seeking attitudes of those with mental illness could be useful.
