Section A Q3 Flashcards
What did Lannes et al (2016) look at.
Meta analysis of RCTS of children at high risk of developing mental illness due to parents having mental illness. 2700 children.
What did lannes et al. (2016) find.
- Psychosocial interventions had significant reduction in incidence of mental illness ( risk reduction ~50%)
2.significant reductions in internalising symptoms which improved well being.
What limitations did lannes et al. (2016) find
- Content and delivery of intervention varied
- Not fully generalisable
- Long term follow up needed.
What did cujpers et al. (2021) investigate
Investigated psychosocial interventions for prevention of onset of depression
What did cujpers et al. (2021) measure
Measured the relative risk of developing depression at 12 month follow up.
What did cujpers at al. (2021) find.
- Reduced incidence of depression
2.CBT prior to symptom manifest can be effective prevention measure at various stages. - Studies outside the US and Europe had smaller effect - cultural influences
What did Mendelson & Eaton (2018) look at
Prevention of depression and anxiety across multiple populations
What were Mendelson & Eaton (2018) 3 populations
- Child and adolescent
- Perinatal women
- Other adult populations
What did Mendelson & Eaton (2018) find for depression prevention
- Child and adolescent - significant reductions in depression symptoms
- Perinatal women - CBT and IPT had significant benefits
- Other adults - small reductions in depressive symptoms.
What did Mendelson & Eaton (2018) find about anxiety
Most reported small but significant reductions across populations post treatment with some sustained.
What did Mendelson & Eaton (2018) find about CBT and IPT
Showed promising results for preventing depression and anxiety
Limitations with Mendelson & Eaton (2018)
- Need a long term follow up
- Future utilising active controls to find best prevention method.
