Mental Health Curriculum Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Mental Health Issue

In brief

The purpose of this study is to investigate the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and preliminary effectiveness of a college course grounded in skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) titled, "Wellness and Resilience for College and Beyond." The study takes place on 5 college campuses in Pennsylvania and West Virginia offering the Wellness Course during the 2020 calendar year (Spring and Fall 2020 semesters). The Wellness Course is an undergraduate college course that includes 14 two and a half hour long lessons, weekly homework assignments and tracking of skills use via a "diary card," and a cumulative final exam at the end of the semester. Students who choose to enroll in the wellness course are offered the opportunity to enroll in the study and a comparison sample of students not enrolled are recruited from each site.
