Brief Summary

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

Common mental disorders can be disabling and lead to a large burden of disease. Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders was developed to address emotional disorders with evidence-based emotional-focused cognitive-behavioural techniques and is efficacious in reducing anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms in adults. Previous research has demonstrated comparable effect of UP on reducing anxiety symptoms compared with the single-disorder protocol (SDP) for anxiety. Group-based UP was also implemented and tested. Given the fact that working populations are at a high risk of poor mental health, especially in light of the COVID pandemic with new unprecedented work situations and increased uncertainties, the present study aims to investigate the efficacy of Unified protocol on sleep and mental health in high-risk population.

Unified Protocol

8-session group-based intervention

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Unified Protocol for mood disorders

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The group-based UP is structured and manualized and consists of 9 1.5 hours weekly sessions (90-min, 18 participants in each group). The group-based UP is a course consisting of components of psycho-education about mood disorders, cognitive and behavioural skills, and relapse prevention and is adapted for the non-clinical population in the current study. The UP will be led and delivered by trained therapists.

Wait-list control

Participants in the wait-list control group will receive the same program, two months after their counterparts in the experimental group completed the intervention.
