Background: Using mobile communication technology as new personalized approach to treat mental disorders or more generally improve quality of life is highly promising. Knowledge about intervention components that target key psychopathological processes in terms transdiagnostic psychotherapy approaches urgently needed. We explored the use smartphone-based micro-interventions based on psychotherapeutic techniques, guided by short video-clips, elicit mood changes. Method: As part a larger...

Background The objective was to estimate temporal associations between mental disorders and physical diseases in adolescents with mental-physical comorbidities. Methods This article bases upon weighted data (N = 6483) from the National Comorbidity Survey Adolescent Supplement (participant age: 13–18 years), a nationally representative United States cohort. Onset of Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition lifetime assessed fully structured World Health Organization...

Mind wandering (MW) and mindfulness have both been reported to be vital moderators of psychological wellbeing. Here, we aim examine how closely associated these phenomena are evaluate the psychometrics measures often used quantify them. We investigated two samples, one consisting German-speaking unpaid participants (GUP, n [Formula: see text] 313) English-speaking paid (EPP, 228) recruited through MTurk.com. In an online experiment, collected data using Mindful Attention Awareness Scale...

Background School mental health services are important contact points for children and adolescents with disorders, but their ability to provide comprehensive treatment is limited. The main objective was estimate in mentally disordered of a nationally representative United States cohort the role school as guide care different out-of-school service sectors. Methods Analyses based on weighted data (N = 6483) from National Comorbidity Survey Replication Adolescent Supplement (participants' age:...

Background There is certain evidence on the efficacy of smartphone-based mental health interventions. However, mechanisms action remain unclear. Placebo effects contribute to face-to-face interventions and may also be a potential mechanism in Objective This study aimed investigate whether different types expectancies as factors underlying placebo could successfully induced digital intervention, ostensibly targeting mood stress. Methods We conducted randomized, controlled, single-blinded,...

Abstract Purpose In prison populations, treating pain is particularly challenging, especially for the growing number of older prisoners. The objective was to find out about prevalence, frequency, and types medications prescribed prisoners (≥50 years) in comparison with younger (<50 years). Methods Data were collected Switzerland as part a study on ageing prisoners' health. Fifteen prisons (out 26 total eligible population) agreed take part, data from medical records 190 male analysed....

The purpose of this paper is to determine the prevalence polypharmacy and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in older younger prisoners, compared if age group associated with risks DDIs.For 380 prisoners from Switzerland (190 were 49 years younger; 190 50 older), data concerning their medication use gathered. MediQ identified two or more substances could lead potentially adverse DDI. Data analysed using descriptive statistics generalised linear mixed models.On average, took 3.8 medications, while...

Objective To investigate whether maternal psychopathology predicts mental health service use and treatment delay in offspring with disorders. Data Sources Weighted data collected between 2001 2004 from NCS‐A participants (age: 13‐18 years; N = 2939) meeting DSM‐IV criteria for any lifetime disorder, assessed WHO CIDI, their biological mothers. Study Design National representative cohort. Collection Maternal was self‐report, adolescent the Service Assessment Children Adolescents. Principal...

Information and communication technology (ICT) becomes more prevalent in education but its general efficacy that of specific learning applications are not fully established yet. One way to further improve could be use insights from fundamental memory research. We here assess whether four principles (spacing, corrective feedback, testing, multimodality) can translated into an applied ICT context facilitate vocabulary a self-developed web application.
