From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
During adolescence, emotional problems, like depression, become common, with up to one in three experiencing symptoms. Yet, many adolescents hesitate to seek help, creating an unmet need. Even when they do, service limitations and complex pathways lead to delays. Minoritized and stigmatized groups face even greater barriers, exacerbating the needs-access gap.
To tackle these issues, scalable interventions are vital. Digital treatments hold promise but often face high attrition rates. Single session interventions (SSIs), particularly unguided online SSIs, can complement current adolescent mental health services and better reach underserved populations.
In this seminar, Dr Loades will:
1) Describe the problem – the needs-access gap – based on both evidence and young people’s priorities
2) Introduce the potential solution – what single session interventions are and what do we know about their feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness in the USA
3) Detail her ongoing programme of work to introduce the American SSIs in the UK, including a logic model, data collected to date and next steps- with particular attention to implementation considerations and underpinned by young people advisory input.
Booking is required for people outside of the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI).
DSPI Members do not need to register.
This talk is part of the DSPI Michaelmas Term Seminar Series 2024
