Senior author Professor Dennis Ougrin from the Youth Resilience Research Unit @qmul-wiph.bsky.social said: "At a time when millions of displaced young people remain underserved, this research suggests a promising step toward meeting their urgent mental health needs - one mobile device at a time.”

Professor JR Weisz from Harvard University said: "Children displaced by conflict are at elevated risk of long-term psychological harm, but access to mental health services is often limited or non-existent. In our trial we found the effects of our 30-minute intervention lasted for four months."

The results, published today in The Lancet Primary Care, found that this brief mental health intervention reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety in displaced young people at one month and four months after the 30-minute intervention.

They created a Ukrainian-language version of an evidence-based digital mental health intervention called Project SOLVE. Delivered in schools through mobile devices, it teaches problem solving by providing strategies for solving everyday problems, such as school stress and interpersonal conflict.

An international group of researchers, led by Professor JR Weisz from @harvard.edu and colleagues including senior author Professor Dennis Ougrin from @qmul.bsky.social, tested a digital mental health intervention with 709 Ukrainian students, aged 10-18, who had been displaced to Poland.

Short-term digital mental health interventions reduces depression and anxiety in Ukrainian children and adolescents displaced by war - a first of its kind randomised controlled trial found delivering a problem solving digital mental health intervention significantly reduced symptoms.

Our Founders’ Day event celebrated our research and teaching excellence and the 240-year history that cultivated this success. We also presented honorary degrees to alumni Navjot Sawhney, Dr Nighat Arif, Simon Borrows and Jamie Crummie. Find out more: www.qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2...
