Active clinical trials for "Problem Behavior"

The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of (1) an 8-session version of the Masayang Pamilya (MaPa) parenting program for families with children aged 2-9 (MaPa Kids) and (2) a culturally and contextually adapted 9-session MaPa parenting program for families with children aged 10-17 (MaPa Teens). The feasibility of MaPa Kids and MaPa Teens will be assessed through self-report questionnaires, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, and implementation data. Together, the focus groups, questionnaires, interviews, and implementation data will assess the overall feasibility of the MaPa Kids and MaPa Teen programs in the Philippines by examining program delivery, participation, acceptability, scalability, and preliminary effectiveness on reducing child maltreatment and associated risks.

The primary goal of this study is to examine the fidelity and generalization of parenting effects of the KEEP foster parent training intervention as it is being delivered within a child welfare system of care by a community mental health provider.

The objective of this study is to build upon preliminary research and conduct a pilot feasibility randomized controlled trial on a promising culturally-grounded and gender-specific treatment program, the XY-Zone. The central hypothesis underlying this study purports that through receiving the XY-Zone treatment, adolescents will decrease their risk for dropping out of school. This hypothesis is supported by two years of preliminary data investigating the effectiveness of the XY-Zone. To test the central hypothesis, the following specific aims will be pursued: Identify school dropout risk and protective factors (protective factors defined as: adult support and peer support; risk factors defined as: low school attendance, inability to achieve grade promotion, substance use, delinquency, school disconnectedness, misbehavior, disconnection from healthy peers) directly changed as a result of XY-Zone intervention. Determine the extent to which moderating variables (affective strength, duration in the program, family functioning, interpersonal strength, intrapersonal strength, level achieved in the program, and resiliency) effect change in outcome variables (risk and protective factors). Identify participants' beliefs about the impact of the mechanisms of change (respect, responsibility, relationship, role modeling, and reaching out) on outcome variables (risk and protective factors ) to enrich understanding of quantitative data.

The purpose of this study is to study the effectiveness of an early psychological intervention 7-10 days after a road traffic accident on posttraumatic stress and behavior of children and adolescents

The purpose of this clinical trial is to test whether or not the medication amantadine is effective in reducing behavioral disturbances in patients with frontotemporal dementia.

This study will be a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) of Mindfulness-based Therapeutic Sailing (MBTS) versus a standard recreation therapy activity (bowling) among Veterans with psychiatric and/or substance use disorders. The specific aims of this investigation are to determine whether: MBTS will result in greater pre- to post-intervention increases in psychological flexibility and state mindfulness than a standard recreation therapy activity (SRT). MBTS participants will experience greater enjoyment of the activity than SRT participants. MBTS will result in greater pre- to post-intervention increases in positive affect and decreases in anxiety as measured as compared to the SRT participants. MBTS participants will exhibit improved outcomes, as compared to the SRT group, in the 3-month post-intervention period.

The main objective of this study is to carry out the psychometric validation of the PERMA-Profiler in a population representative of the general French population and in comparison with the reference questionnaire The PERMA-Profiler.

This study is set up to better understand the current use of psychedelics in France in the general population. The present focus on individuals who have used any type of psychedelic drug in order to suppress or alleviate a psychiatric symptom in the context of a diagnosed pathology. The data are collected during a semi-structured interview and then studied in a thematic analysis.

The identification of transnosographic dimensions constituted by cognitive disorders constitutes a particularly promising avenue for classifying psychiatric disorders in a more precise and personalized manner. However, despite interesting preliminary data, there is no exhaustive phenotyping of the different cognitive disorders in large samples where all severe psychiatric disorders are represented. Moreover, the brain mechanisms underlying cognitive disorders remain poorly understood, whereas their identification would allow a better understanding of the pathophysiology of these disorders as well as the identification of potential therapeutic targets. Here, the investigators will compare cognitive-behavioral performance in patients with different types of severe psychiatric disorders (psychotic disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders and eating disorders) and healthy volunteers to identify specific and shared cognitive alterations between the different severe psychiatric disorders. In addition, the investigators will compare neurophysiological cognitive data in to identify alterations in neurophysiological cognitive mechanisms that are specific to and shared between the different severe psychiatric disorders. The investigators will include 180 patients suffering from a severe psychiatric disorder (psychotic disorder, mood disorder (depressive and bipolar disorders), anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder and eating disorder) and benefiting from cognitive phenotyping (neuropsychological assessment and possibly EEG) as part of the initial assessment for a severe psychiatric disorder. In parallel, the investigators will include 180 healthy volunteers The different variables corresponding to the judgment criteria will be compared between the groups by being included as dependent variables in mixed linear regression models (ANOVA; or KRUSKAL-WALLIS if non-parametric) with the group as independent factor, time (before, after treatment) and type of treatment. This study will allow the constitution of a transnosographic atlas of neuro-cognitive deficits in different psychiatric pathologies.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality, not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or of infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships [...]". The main objective is to show that a training intervention intended for psychiatric care teams and targeted on the question of the impact of psychiatric disorders and psychotropic drugs on the sexuality of young people, increases the proportion of young people with whom the question of sexual health is discussed (in connection with psychiatric disorders and, if applicable, with the taking of psychotropic treatment, while they are hospitalized for a psychiatric disorder in the clinics of the FSEF and receive, or not, psychotropic treatment ).
