Trial Outcomes & Findings for Family-centered Mental Health Promotion Intervention (NCT NCT04453709)

NCT ID: NCT04453709

Last Updated: 2024-10-17

Results Overview

The 10-item Cohen Perceived Stress Scale will be used to assess perceived stress at baseline, post-intervention, and 12-week post-intervention. The Cohen Perceived Stress Scale uses a 5-point Likert scale (ranging from 0, "never" to 4, "very often") to assess psychological stress experienced during the past four weeks, including the extent to which situations felt unpredictable, uncomfortable, and overwhelming. The total high scores indicate a worse outcome. The score range is between 0 and 40.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: Intervention Group: Only 84 participants provided hair samples out of 116 total participants. Control Group: Only 71 participants provided hair samples out of 116 total participants.

Cortisol hair test (average hormone levels over the past 3 months) will be used as a biomarker to measure physiological stress. Higher hair cortisol concentrations indicate a higher level of biological stress in the body. The range of values is between 0.799 and 2554.68 pg/mg.
