Stamp Out Stigma: a national campaign to decrease stigma and increase behavioral health in fire service
This study aimed to decrease stigma about behavioral health in fire service through the development and delivery of a peer-led anti-stigma intervention campaign called Stamp Out Stigma (SOS). SOS consisted of three related phases. During Phase 1 (n = 12), we produced testimonials and piloted the videos with firefighters to determine which were most compelling. During Phase 2 (n = 23), we beta-tested our training curriculum with two departments, resulting in a significant decrease in internalized stigma but not in self-stigma. During Phase 3 (n = 73), we presented the curriculum to two cohorts of firefighters. Participation...

Reducing safety behaviors to prevent anxious symptoms: a pre-registered prevention intervention study
Cogn Behav Ther. 2023 Jul 25:1-13. doi: 10.1080/16506073.2023.2237671. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this pre-registered study was to test the efficacy of a simple, low-impact safety behavior prevention intervention for anxiety. The intervention was delivered online using a 4-week workbook format. Participants (n = 130) were a non-clinical sample of American college students; they were randomly assigned to one of two intervention conditions: safety-behavior reduction or active control condition (academic skills). Results showed that participants in the safety behavior workbook condition did not report fewer ...

The effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy in chronic neck pain: A systematic review with meta-analysis
We present effect estimates at 8-week, 12-week, 6-month, and 1-year follow-up. Low certainty evidence suggests a clinically significant pain reduction (short-term) favouring CBT with or without additional intervention compared to no intervention SMD = -0.73; 95%CI: -1.23 to -0.23). Very low and low certainty evidence suggest clinically significant improvements in kinesiophobia (very short-term SMD = -0.83; 95%CI: -1.28 to -0.39 and short-term SMD = -1.30, 95%CI: -1.60 to -0.99), depression SMD = -0.74, 95%CI: -1.35 to -0.14) and anxiety SMD = -0.76, 95%CI: -1.34 to -0.18) favouring a multimodal intervention with CBT (short...

An online self-guided cognitive intervention for unwanted intrusive thoughts about harming infants in new parents: initial randomised controlled trial with mediation analysis
This study evaluated the initial efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of a novel online self-guided cognitive intervention for new parents with distressing UITs. Self-recruited parents (N = 43, 93% female, age 23-43 years) of children 0-3 years reporting daily distressing and impairing UITs were randomized to the 8-week self-guided online cognitive intervention or to waiting-list. The primary outcome was change on the Parental Thoughts and Behaviour Checklist (PTBC) from baseline to week 8 (post-intervention). The PTBC and negative appraisals (mediator) were assessed at baseline, weekly, post-intervention and at the 1-m...
