Summary

The study aims to examine the effectiveness of joint parent-adolescent intervention in improving the mental health outcomes of participants, specifically by reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7), and the Child PTSD Symptom Scale for DSM-5 (CPSS-5). Adolescents will be recruited from middle schools and randomly assigned to one of three groups: (a) psychoeducation, (b) psychoeducation + emotional skills enhancement, or (c) psychoeducation + emotional skills enhancement + positive childhood experience promotion. The school-based intervention will consist of 4-8 sessions, with assessments conducted at baseline, post-treatment, and a 3-month follow-up. Investigators will conduct multilevel models (MLMs) and structural equation models (SEMs) to investigate the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), alexithymia, and emotion regulation abilities on mental health outcomes in adolescents.

Emotiaonl skill enhancement

This intervention combines online material with practical, emotion-focused activities. Participants will receive training on emotional awareness and emotion regulation strategies, along with completing weekly writing assignments. These assignments focus on recent negative events and the emotions associated with them, encouraging emotional expression and processing.

BEHAVIORAL

PCE promotion

The intervention requires parents to complete a weekly parent-child interaction task designed to foster positive childhood experiences. Parents will engage in structured activities with their children and document the interactions. Each week, they are expected to upload a report.

BEHAVIORAL

Psychoeducation

Psychoeducation includes sessions for both parents and adolescents, covering key topics such as stress, emotional distress, and mental disorders. The content provides foundational knowledge to help participants understand and manage these challenges.
