A systematic review exploring perceptions of Tourette syndrome and tic disorders using the common-sense model of illness representations
A pre–post study evaluating an online CBT-based intervention to improve academic performance in students with low mood
Online cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)-based interventions have shown the potential to improve the mental health of university students. However, their impact on West Asian cultures and educational achievement has yet to be fully investigated. This study explores the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of a self-directed, internet-delivered, cognitive–behavioural skills training programme (MoodGYM) in reducing depression a…
Long‐term clinical and cost‐effectiveness of a therapist‐supported online remote behavioural intervention for tics in children and adolescents: Extended 12‐ and 18‐month follow‐up of a single‐blind ra…
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the long-term effectiveness of behavioural therapy for tics. We aimed to assess the long-term clinical and cost-effectiveness of online therapist-supported exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy for tics 12 and 18 months after treatment initiation. METHODS: ORBIT (online remote behavioural intervention for tics) was a two-arm (1:1 ratio), superiority, single-blind, multicentre randomised controlled trial …
Factors influencing Covid-19 health protective behaviours in Zambian university students with symptoms of low mood
Students who self-identify as having symptoms of depression have high levels of anxiety. The results suggest that interventions to reduce anxiety and promote self-efficacy might enhance students' COVID-19 protective behaviours. Qualitative data provided insight into the high rates of vaccine hesitancy in this population
I'm in pain and I want help”: An online survey investigating the experiences of tic-related pain and use of pain management techniques in people with tics and tic disorders
Tic-related pain was reported to have a significant physical and psychological impact which impacted aspects of daily living in people with tic disorders. The findings add to limited research suggesting tic-related pain is a dominant issue for individuals with tic disorders, potentially impacting upon their quality of life. Increased understanding of tic-related pain and its influence may be helpful in the long-term management of tic disorders, b…
Commentary: Let’s get digital: a commentary on Halldorsson et al.'s call for more rigorous development and evaluation of immersive digital interventions for children and young people's mental health
In the JCPP Annual Research Review for 2021, Halldorsson and colleagues (2021) present a systematic review of applied games and virtual reality interventions for treating mental health problems in children and young people, looking at the effectiveness of interventions upon mental health outcomes but also on the experience of using such interventions. In this commentary, we highlight a number of considerations in understanding what research has b…
A qualitative analysis of perceived opportunities and barriers to engaging in urban agriculture
SKIP (Supporting Kids with diabetes In Physical activity): Feasibility of a randomised controlled trial of a digital intervention for 9-12 year olds with type 1 diabetes mellitus

The effects of improving sleep on mental health (Oasis): A randomised controlled trial with mediation analysis
BACKGROUND: Sleep difficulties might be a contributory causal factor in the occurrence of mental health problems. If this is true, improving sleep should benefit psychological health. We aimed to determine whether treating insomnia leads to a reduction in paranoia and hallucinations. METHODS: We did this single-blind, randomised controlled trial (OASIS) at 26 UK universities. University students with insomnia were randomly assigned (1:1) with sim…
Annual Research Review: Digital health interventions for children and young people with mental health problems – a systematic and meta‐review
BACKGROUND: Digital health interventions (DHIs), including computer-assisted therapy, smartphone apps and wearable technologies, are heralded as having enormous potential to improve uptake and accessibility, efficiency, clinical effectiveness and personalisation of mental health interventions. It is generally assumed that DHIs will be preferred by children and young people (CYP) given their ubiquitous digital activity. However, it remains uncerta…
An experimental study exploring the impact of vignette gender on the quality of university students’ mental health first aid for peers with symptoms of depression
Most students lack the necessary MHFA skills to support friends suffering from symptoms of depression, or to help them get appropriate support and prevent risk of harm. Students on courses which do not include mental health related content are particularly ill-equipped to support male students, with male students receiving the poorest quality MHFA from fellow male students on these courses. MHFA training has the potential to improve outcomes for …
The empty space phenomenon: The process of grief in the bereaved family
Forty-nine families who experienced a death following childhood cancer were interviewed 7–9 years after the death. Interviews were analyzed using grounded theory technique for qualitative data for the purpose of examining the long-term responses of families to childhood death. In contrast to bereavement theories which claim that grief is usually resolved within two years, findings of this study suggest that many parents and siblings still experie…
