Guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (i-CBT) is a low-cost way to address high unmet need for anxiety and depression treatment. Scalability could be increased if some patients were helped as much by self-guided i-CBT guided i-CBT.
Abstract Background Heterogeneity of treatment effects (HTEs) can occur because either differential compliance or effectiveness. This distinction is important, as it has action implications, but unclear how to distinguish these two possibilities statistically in precision analysis given that not observed until after randomization. We review available statistical methods and illustrate a recommended method secondary trial focused on HTE. Methods The randomized n = 880 anxious and/or depressed...
Abstract Objective The objective of this study is to assess the contribution mental comorbidity role impairment among college students.

To examine the prevalence of ADHD and association comorbid disorders, multivariate disorder classes with role impairment in college students.About 15,991 freshmen (24 colleges, 9 countries, WMH-ICS) (response rate = 45.6%) completed online WMH-CIDI-SC surveys for 6-month six 12-month DSM-IV disorders. We examined using latent class analysis (LCA) simulated a population attributable risk proportions (PARPs) ADHD-related impairment.About 15.9% had ADHD, which 58.4% comorbidities. LCA...

We estimated hazards ratios modeling incidence attempts by fitting proportional Cox models with person-time...
Research is scarce on the prospective predictors of first onset suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) accuracy these in university students, particularly low-and-middle income countries. Therefore, we assessed 1-year incidence STB among first-year a broad range incidence, evaluated prediction baseline multivariate risk model to identify students at highest for over subsequent 12 months.Students (n = 3238) from 13 universities Mexico completed an online survey developed World Mental Health...
