Project description
Intervention platform to prevent mental disorders in adolescents
By implementing a data-driven and forward-thinking programme on a large scale, we can effectively intervene and prevent mental disorders in adolescents. This empowers young people and their families to make informed decisions about their mental health. The EU-funded IMPROVA project aims to enhance adolescent mental health through a modular eHealth intervention platform designed to detect and prevent common mental disorders. The project involves collaboration with adolescents, parents, teachers, health professionals, and policymakers. The consortium has rigorously tested materials in over 20 projects to create an online platform with modules tailored for each group. IMPROVA is currently conducting a trial in secondary schools across France, Germany, Romania, and Spain, involving 12 800 adolescents, to assess the effectiveness of their programme.
Objective
The e-Intervention Enhancing Mental Health in Adolescents project, IMPROVA, will co-design, pilot, evaluate, and facilitate the upscaling of a modular eHealth intervention platform that aims to improve mental health and well-being, early detect mental health problems and prevent common mental disorders in adolescents. The IMPROVA consortium includes an international and inter-disciplinary group of researchers and practitioners from health, educational and social sciences in addition to computer scientists, a teacher association and policymakers. The IMPROVA online platform will be co-created with stakeholder groups, including adolescents, parents, teachers, school health professionals and policymakers based on materials already designed and tested in more than 20 projects carried out by the consortium members. The platform will include components for adolescents, parents, teachers, and school health professionals in complementary and synergistic modules. After a series of pilot testing sessions, IMPROVA will be implemented by conducting a randomized Stepped Wedge Trial Design (SWTD) in secondary education schools randomly selected in four countries (France, Germany, Romania and Spain), including 12,800 adolescents. Effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit will be calculated. Using implementation science methodology, IMPROVA will co-design with policymakers and stakeholders transferable evidence-based practices, methodologies and guidance for upscaling of the IMPROVA platform. IMPROVA aims to provide stakeholders and policy makers with an evidence-based, innovative, large-scale, comprehensive intervention, and a scale-up plan to promote mental health and prevent mental disorders in adolescents; empower adolescents and families to make better decisions regarding their mental health; and provide schools and the community with tools to achieve a society with better mental health and lower stigma.
