“…The greatest difference between PE and NE was observed in the area of addiction‐related knowledge, which is not surprising given the educative nature of PE. This is also in line with reports from similar programs (Gance‐Cleveland & Mays, ; Short et al, ; Woodside, Bishop, Miller, & Swisher, ). However, it is important to view the nature of this knowledge not so much as an array of facts on parental substance abuse but more as a move towards more resilient cognitions about the issue.…”

Children of substance-abusing parents (COS) are at risk for developing psychosocial problems. We evaluated the effectiveness of the manualized, 9-session psychoeducational preventive intervention "TRAMPOLINE" (PE) for 8-12-year-old COS compared with a non-educational "fun and play" group (NE) of equal length delivered by social workers in 27 German counselling centres. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare PE (n = 130) and NE (n = 88) outcomes at baseline, post intervention, and 6-month follow-up. Primary outcomes were related to stress and coping; secondary were also examined. Analyses were conducted using baseline-adjusted repeated measures linear mixed models. Five outcomes revealed improvements both in PE and NE, four of which were more pronounced in PE, and one more pronounced in NE. Small but significant group differences in favour of PE were found in "social isolation" and "addiction-related knowledge." Children from both groups reported reduced mental distress, reduced avoidance in coping with family stress, improved self-perceived autonomy, and a better parent-child relationship. No changes were observed in self-efficacy, physical stress symptoms, and in other health-related quality of life aspects. TRAMPOLINE can instill positive changes in COS by reducing mental distress and social isolation.

“…Some of these studies found a number of positive effects on indirect outcome measures, such as social support, self-esteem and self-control (Emshoff, 1990), coping strategies and help-seeking behaviour (Roosa, Gensheimer, Ayers, & Short, 1990), and knowledge (Short et al, 1995;Woodside, Bishop, Miller, & Swisher, 1997). However, apart from some indications of positive effects on depressive symptomatology, no clear effects on measures of mental health (such as depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, or problem drinking) were found in any of these studies.…”

It is well established that children of problem drinkers have an increased risk of developing mental health problems, including drinking and drug misuse problems, depression, eating disorders, conduct disorders, and delinquency. However, compared to the hundreds of studies that have examined the effects of parental problem drinking on their children, the genetics of problem drinking, and the physical and mental problems of these children, it is disappointing that so few studies have explored the possibilities of prevention. Despite all the research on children of problem drinkers, we have no usable operationalizations of what problem drinking is, or when a child can be defined as a child of a problem drinker. Furthermore, no valid screening or severity assessment instruments are available; there is no solution for the ethical dilemma of the need to involve parents while these parents are at the same time the problem; very few theory-driven prevention programmes have been developed; very little is known about protective factors that could be the focus of prevention programmes; and we have no programmes that can be considered to be 'evidence based'. This paper describes these problems, presents an overview of the prevention research in this area, and gives some directions for future research.

“…About 72% of college-based studies concentrated on health professionals' in-training (medicine, health sciences, psychiatry, psychology, pharmacy or nursing) [30, 32, 34, 38-40, 42, 50, 51, 58, 68, 72, 77, 78, 81, 83]. Diverse stigma assessment measures were used by 33 of all quantitative and mixed methods studies (including modified instruments), [30, 31, 33-35, 37-40, 42-45, 47, 49-52, 54, 55, 57, 62, 63, 65-68, 71, 72, 79, 83-85] while 5 remaining studies used newly developed measures [36,58,61,64,69] and 13 studies did not specify instruments used or used informal/oral feedback or open-ended questions [32,41,46,48,53,56,59,60,70,[80][81][82]86].…”

“…Eight studies were randomised controlled trials (RCT) [31,34,39,43,45,52,53,72]. Other quantitative studies include 10 controlled clinical trials, [33, 38, 40, 49-51, 54, 55, 57, 68] nine studies used a two group, pre-post design, [30,41,47,58,59,61,66,67,69] 12 studies used a single group pre-post design, [35-37, 42, 44, 46, 56, 60, 62, 63, 65, 71] and four studies employed a post-test only design [32,48,64,70].…”

Effectiveness of arts interventions to reduce mental-health-related stigma among youth: a systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2021

Background Educational interventions engage youth using visual, literary and performing arts to combat stigma associated with mental health problems. However, it remains unknown whether arts interventions are effective in reducing mental-health-related stigma among youth and if so, then which specific art forms, duration and stigma-related components in content are successful. Methods We searched 13 databases, including PubMed, Medline, Global Health, EMBASE, ADOLEC, Social Policy and Practice, Database of Promoting Health Effectiveness Reviews (DoPHER), Trials Register of Promoting Health Interventions (TRoPHI), EPPI-Centre database of health promotion research (Bibliomap), Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane and Scopus for studies involving arts interventions aimed at reducing any or all components of mental-health-related stigma among youth (10–24-year-olds). Risk of bias was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies. Data were extracted into tables and analysed using RevMan 5.3.5. Results Fifty-seven studies met our inclusion criteria (n = 41,621). Interventions using multiple art forms are effective in improving behaviour towards people with mental health problems to a small effect (effect size = 0.28, 95%CI 0.08–0.48; p = 0.007) No studies reported negative outcomes or unintended harms. Among studies using specific art forms, we observed high heterogeneity among intervention studies using theatre, multiple art forms, film and role play. Data in this review are inconclusive about the use of single versus multiple sessions and whether including all stigma components of knowledge, attitude and behaviour as intervention content are more effective relative to studies focused on these stigma components, individually. Common challenges faced by school-based arts interventions included lack of buy-in from school administrators and low engagement. No studies were reported from low- and middle-income countries. Conclusion Arts interventions are effective in reducing mental-health-related stigma to a small effect. Interventions that employ multiple art forms together compared to studies employing film, theatre or role play are likely more effective in reducing mental-health-related stigma.
