Acceptance and commitment therapy universal prevention program for adolescents: a feasibility study
Overview
This feasibility study evaluates an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based universal prevention program for anxiety and depression among year 10 high school students in Sydney. The research assesses the intervention's acceptability and feasibility within a school setting, comparing outcomes against usual classes over a five-month period. While the small sample size prevented statistically significant findings, the results suggest potential benefits favoring the ACT condition, warranting further investigation in larger trials.
