The PRIDE programme aims to establish a suite of transdiagnostic psychological interventions organised around stepped care system in Indian secondary schools. This paper describes the development low-intensity, first-line component model.Contextual and global evidence informed an intervention 'blueprint' with problem solving as primary practice element. Successive iterations were tested modified across two pilot cohort studies (N = 45; N 39). Participants aged 13-20 years presenting elevated...
Background Psychosocial interventions for adolescent mental health problems are effective, but evidence on their longer-term outcomes is scarce, especially in low-resource settings. We report the 12-month sustained effectiveness and costs of scaling up a lay counselor–delivered, transdiagnostic problem-solving intervention common low-income schools New Delhi, India. Methods findings Participants original trial were 250 school-going adolescents (mean [M] age = 15.61 years, standard deviation...

Therefore, this study aimed at evaluating effectiveness of a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on depressive symptoms, mindfulness skills, acceptance, quality life across four domains patients with late-onset depression. A single case design pre- post-assessment was adopted. Five meeting specified inclusion exclusion criteria were recruited for assessed behavioral analysis pro...
Psychosocial interventions delivered by nonspecialists can be effective at reducing common adolescent mental health problems in low-resource settings. However, there is a lack of evidence on resource-efficient methods for building capacity to deliver these interventions.The objective this study evaluate the effects digital training (DT) course, self-guided format or with coaching, nonspecialists' competency problem-solving intervention intended adolescents India.We will conduct pre-post...
Abstract Background The ‘PRemIum for aDolEscents’ (PRIDE) project has developed a school-based, transdiagnostic stepped care programme common adolescent mental health problems in India. comprises brief problem-solving intervention (‘Step 1’) followed by personalised cognitive-behavioural 2’) participants who do not respond to the first step.

Eligible participants were 18 older; fluent Hindi English; able access training; had no prior experience delivering structured psychotherapies. 277...
Abstract Given the relationship between poor engagement and worse treatment outcomes, improving has been focus of attention in recent years. Engagement is a particular challenge among minoritized otherwise challenged youth, such as those from socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, including youth low- middle-income countries (LMICs), where they face lower levels access to resources, mental health treatment. The present study describes challenges that arose an uncontrolled pre-post...
Abstract Rationale, aims and objectives A key consideration in designing scalable solutions for improving global mental health involves balancing the need interventions to be uncomplicated workers (MHWs) intervention widely applicable many clients. Often these needs are competition, since routinely simplified by removing procedures or reducing their dynamic responsivity, which turn lowers overall utility serving large, clinically diverse populations. The principal aim of this pilot study...
