Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Covid-19 pandemic is having a great impact on the long-term mental health and well-being. Reports on the levels of psychological distress are concerning. This can be due to the pandemic, as well as social distancing, employment and economic consequences.

Healthcare workers, the elderly, youths, and persons experiencing socio-economic adversity are at risk of developing psychological distress. In this context, healthcare systems risk being overcharged, facing a growing demand.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapies managing psychological distress have been formally recommended. WHO has implemented different escalated psychosocial interventions, such as Problem Management Plus, PM+; Doing What Matters in Times of Stress, DWM; and Psychological First Aid, PFA. Their aim is to help individuals manage their stress in order to decrease the occurrence of psychological problems. They do not replace care for severe mental health disorders, but can prevent the deterioration of individuals' mental health.

PM+ has previously been found to be effective in situations of endemic conflict or violence in Pakistan and Kenya. The implementation of this program in Europe is being evaluated in the EU H2020 project STRENGHTS, focused in migrants from Syria. In the present trail, the investigators aim to further test its effectiveness in the context of psychological distress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prior to the present trial, the investigators conducted a qualitative research study among potential beneficiaries and healthcare workers to evaluate the feasibility of DWM and PM+, which showed interest in stepped-care interventions in mental health, particularly if they are technology-based (mobile phones).

Our study is embedded in the larger, EU H2020 CORONAVIRUS-funded RESPOND project (Grant Agreement No 101016127). This project granted funding for a multicentric, single-blinded, randomised, controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the stepped-care DWM and PM+ program vs. Care as Usual (CAU). In France, the investigators will focus on persons experiencing socioeconomic adversity, as defined by unstable housing conditions. A recent study showed that most of them are migrants. All subjects (210) will receive PFA and CAU. In addition to PFA and CAU, the treatment group (105 subjects) will receive the intervention DWM (with or without PM+). The primary outcome will be the decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression from baseline to two-months follow-up.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

STUDY POPULATION Our population is composed of adults (18 years or older), with unstable housing status , speaking one of the languages of the research (Arabic, Dari, French or Pashto).

CALCULATION OF THE SAMPLE SIZE Based on prior studies (Bryant et al., 2017; Rahman et al., 2016b), the investigators aim to detect a small to medium Cohen's d effect size of 0.3 in the PM+ group at 2 months post-treatment based on the primary composite outcome PHQ-ADS (Kroenke et al., 2016; 2019). The PHQ-ADS is the combined sum score of depression and anxiety symptoms of the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, respectively and has shown good internal consistency (α = .88 to .92) (Kroenke et al., 2016; 2019). A power calculation for a repeated measurement design (with STATA) suggests a minimum sample size of N=73 per group (power=0.80, alpha=0.05, two-sided, rho=0.9). Considering 30% attrition, the investigators aim to include a total number of 210 participants (105 in the stepped-care DWM/PM+ treatment group (with PFA and CAU) and 105 in the PFA and CAU comparison group).

STATISTICAL METHODS The statistical analysis will estimate the effectiveness of the stepped-care programs DWM/PM+ intervention compared to PSP and CAU alone.

The primary outcome (PHQ-ADS scale) will be summarized using the number of subjects (n), minimum and maximum; and means, standard deviations (SD) for normally distributed data, or medians and interquartile ranges for non-normally distributed data. To measure comparisons at baseline between the two treatment groups t-tests (continuous variables) or chi-squared tests (categorical variables) will be conducted for normally distributed data; Mann-Whitney tests will be conducted for continuous non-normally distributed data. Health economic analysis will be conducted to determine the difference in costs and outcomes in the intervention arm as compared to the care as usual group. Primary analysis will be the total costs over the 2-month follow-up treatment period. Between-group comparison of mean costs will be completed using standard t-test with ordinary least squares regression used for adjusted analysis, with the validity of results confirmed using bootstrapping.

ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS This study will fully comply with relevant European and national regulations concerning data protection, privacy regulations, and the procedures for obtaining informed consent.

* Informed consent Before being enrolled in the study, participants will be informed by the project manager and/or the main investigator about the aims and scope of the study in a form understandable to them. The individual will have one week to decide if it participates. If so, he/she will sign the consent form with the main investigator.
* Withdrawal of individual subjects Participants can leave the study at any time for any reason if they wish to do so without any consequences for them. The investigator can decide to withdraw a participant from the study for urgent medical reasons.

If a subject decides to withdraw from the study, the investigator will ask for the reason. Withdrawal from the study will have no effect on the regular treatment. Subjects who leave the study for medical reasons will be followed until the interfering condition has resolved or reached a stable state.

* Monitoring Monitoring includes review of helpers' records of PM+, supervision records including intervention fidelity monitoring and supervision of supervisors by the master trainers. The supervision of helpers will be scheduled weekly. The supervision will be given by the study psychologist. The supervising psychologist will also receive supervision from the master trainers and these supervisions will be scheduled monthly. Audio recordings on the form helpers make the interventions and pass the questionnaires will be taken. These records will assess as well the adherence to the interventions. Monitoring of the assessments will be the responsibility of the supervisor. In case of any concerns about the capacity of the assessors to carry out their roles, the project manager will conduct full assessments to ensure quality. This oversight will help ensure that any potential concerns about the capacity of assessors to carry out their roles is picked up and responded to.
* Benefits and risks of the research Participants randomized into the DWM/PM+ treatment group may benefit from their participation in terms of expected reductions in psychological distress. The risks associated with participation are estimated to be minimal, since DWM and PM+ reduced psychological distress in previous studies (Purgato et al., 2019; Tol et al., 2020; Bryant et al., 2017; Rahman et al., 2016b). Participants in both the treatment and comparison group will not be withheld care as usual.

It is possible that participants experience stress during the PM+ sessions. The intervention will be supervised and strictly monitored by experienced psychologists. If a participant deteriorates during the intervention period, (s)he can be referred to an external specialist (licensed psychologist or psychiatrist). Whenever referral has taken place, it will be actively followed-up by the researchers. In case of an undesirable emotional reaction either during the intervention or during follow-up assessments, the researchers and clinicians will be available to provide support if necessary.

If a participant has elevated symptoms of psychological distress in follow-up assessments, (s)he will be advised to contact his/her general practitioner (part of the CAU), who may refer the participant for continued or high-intensity treatment.

\- Adverse events (AE) Adverse events are defined as any undesirable experience occurring to a subject during the study, whether or not considered related to the trial procedure or to the stepped care DWM and PM+ intervention. All AEs reported spontaneously by the subject or observed by the investigator or his staff will be recorded. All AEs will be followed until they have abated, or until a stable situation has been reached. Depending on the event, follow up may require additional tests or medical procedures as indicated, and/or referral to the general physician or a medical specialist.

• Compensation for injury

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

After screening and baseline assessments, participants will be randomised to either the treatment group (n=105) or the comparison group (n=105), with an equal probability of assignment to each group (allocation ratio 1:1). The trial is a single-blind RCT (i.e. outcome assessors are blind to treatment allocation). Randomisation will be carried out through computerised software (Castor EDC) using limited block size (e.g. 6-12 participants per block) and will be performed by an independent person who is not involved in the assessment.
Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
The statistical analysis will be masked, this means that the statistician will not know the treatment groups until the end of the analysis. In addition, this person will not be involved in the choice of the participants, the administration of the intervention, in study assessments or in data entry.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

The control group will receive Psychological First Aid (PFA) and Care as Usual (CAU)

Group Type OTHER

Psychological First Aid (PFA)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

PFA is a WHO developed support strategy that involves humane, supportive and practical help for individuals living in a serious humanitarian crisis. PFA does not necessarily involve a discussion of the event(s) that cause the distress but aims particularly at five basic elements that are crucial to promote in the aftermath of crises, i.e. a sense of safety, calm, self- and community efficacy, connectedness, and hope (Hobfoll et al., 2007). It consists of a conversation (approximately 30-45 minutes) that a helper has with a participant which can be provided remotely (e.g. videoconferencing or telephone). It has various themes; the helper provides non-intruding practical care and support, listen to needs and concerns, helps people to address basic needs (e.g. information), listens to people without pressuring them to talk, comforts people and helps them to feel calm, helps people to connect to information, services, and social support, and protects people from further harm (WHO, 2011).

Care as Usual (CAU)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In addition to PFA, both arms will be allowed to receive any usual care (CAU). CAU ranges from community care to specialised psychological treatments.

Treatment Group

The treatment group will receive the stepped-care program consisting of Doing What Matters (DWM) (step 1) and Problem Management Plus (PM+) (step 2), in addition to Psychological First Aid (PFA) and care as usual (CAU). Step 2 will only be provided if the participant still has elevated levels of psychological distress (K10 \> 15.9) at 2 weeks after DWM, i.e. during the second quantitative assessment at 2 weeks after DWM.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Psychological First Aid (PFA)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

PFA is a WHO developed support strategy that involves humane, supportive and practical help for individuals living in a serious humanitarian crisis. PFA does not necessarily involve a discussion of the event(s) that cause the distress but aims particularly at five basic elements that are crucial to promote in the aftermath of crises, i.e. a sense of safety, calm, self- and community efficacy, connectedness, and hope (Hobfoll et al., 2007).

Care as Usual (CAU)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In addition to PFA, both arms will be allowed to receive any usual care (CAU). CAU ranges from community care to specialised psychological treatments.

Doing What Matters in Times of Stress (DWM)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

DWM is based on the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a form of cognitive-behavioural therapy, with distinct features (Hayes, Levin, Plumb-Vilardaga, Villatte \& Pistorello, 2013). ACT is based on the concept that ongoing attempts to suppress unwanted thoughts and feelings can make these problems worse, so instead it emphasises on learning new ways to accommodate these thoughts and feelings without letting them dominate. ACT has been shown to be useful for a range of mental health issues (Tjak et al., 2015) and has been used successfully in a guided self-help format (Hayes et al., 2013). DWM includes five sections (or modules), each of which focuses on a specific skill. In this study, the DWM program will be delivered as an online intervention. The DWM intervention, i.e. both the audios and the self-help guide, will be adapted for use on a smartphone or other device with internet access.

Problem Management Plus (PM+)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

PM+ is a brief, psychological intervention program based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques that are empirically supported and formally recommended by the WHO (Dua et al., 2011). The manual involves the following empirically supported elements: problem solving plus stress management, behavioural activation, facing fears, and accessing social support. In these 90-minute sessions participants may talk to trained non-professional helpers (who are supervised by registered (clinical) psychologists). PM+ has four core features: it is brief (five sessions); delivered by non-specialist helpers; transdiagnostic thereby addressing depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress and problems as defined by people themselves; and originally designed for people in low-income country communities but easily adaptable to different (vulnerable) populations, cultures and languages.
