Internet- and smartphone-based care helped with pediatric OCD, depression in adults
Mental health interventions delivered online or via a smartphone showed promise for treating kids with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and adults with depressive symptoms as well as comorbid hypertension or diabetes, researchers reported.
In a non-inferiority trial of participants with a mean age 13.4 years, the six-month Children’s Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS) score was 11.57 points in the so-called “stepped-care” group versus 10.57 points in the face-to-face treatment group (control) for an estimated mean difference of 0.91 points (1-sided 97.5% CI −∞ to 3.28,
P=0.02 for non-inferiority), according to Kristina Aspvall, PhD, of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Research Centre in Stockholm, and co-authors.
Growing up in Peru, Gissella Bejarano first heard of Binghamton University when the Fulbright Program accepted her into its prestigious ranks and offered to help fund her master’s degree in computer science.
Bejarano sent an application to Binghamton based on its graduate school ranking and a recommendation from her Fulbright advisor, and when the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science accepted her, she traded anticuchos for spiedies and a near-equatorial climate for upstate New York’s four seasons.
She liked Binghamton enough to stay for her PhD, which the University will award her this spring, and she already has several possible paths for what’s ahead.
Overview
Latin-MH is a regional hub for mental health research and training that aims to decrease the treatment gap in Latin America and the Caribbean for people with comorbid mental and chronic physical diseases. Depression is the second leading contributor to the health burden in this region; yet, only a small proportion of individuals with depression receive treatment. Moreover, many individuals with depression also have chronic physical illnesses, leading to poorer outcomes for both conditions. To address this issue, Latin-MH is evaluating the effectiveness of a low-intensity psycho-educational intervention delivered via smartphones for individuals with depressive symptoms and diabetes or hypertension. Latin-MH is also building mental health research capacity in the region through a research training program delivered by a network involving Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brazil; Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru; Northwestern University in Chicago, United States; an
