Trauma-Informed School Intervention for Adolescent Mental Health and Self-Injury Prevention in China (TISI-China)
Development and Implementation of a Psychosocial Adaptive Capacity Enhancement Program for Adolescents With Childhood Household Dysfunction
This study evaluated a school-based psychosocial adaptive capacity enhancement program for Chinese adolescents. The program was developed to support students who may have experienced childhood household dysfunction or other adverse childhood experiences, while being delivered as a universal school-based mental health education program.
The intervention aimed to improve students' psychosocial skills, including emotional awareness, emotion regulation, stress coping, self-understanding, interpersonal communication, peer support, resilience, and mental health literacy. The study assessed whether the program was associated with improvements in adolescent mental health and psychosocial adaptation, including symptoms of depression and anxiety, rumination, dissociative experiences, resilience, behavioral difficulties, and non-suicidal self-injury-related thoughts and behaviors.
Participants were students from collaborating middle schools, high schools, and vocational secondary schools in Hongjiang, Hunan Province, China. Students in the intervention group received the structured school-based psychosocial program, while students in the control group continued their usual school education and routine mental health education. Outcomes were measured using self-report questionnaires at baseline and follow-up assessments.
This study was conducted as an international collaborative project, with ethical approval obtained in Japan and China. The intervention and data collection were conducted in China, and the Japanese research team was mainly responsible for study design, data management, statistical analysis, and manuscript preparation.
