About this study

Official title: Stress-free Everyday LiFe for Children and Adolescents REsearch (SELFCARE). A Protocol for a Cluster Randomised Trial Testing a School Teacher Training Programme to Deliver the .b Programme in Danish Schools.

The primary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a profound school teacher training programme to teach a mindfulness-based programme (.b) in Danish schools on the pupils self-reported mental well-being at seven months.

The secondary aims are to evaluate i) the effectiveness of the profound school teacher training programme to teach the .b-programme in Danish schools on the pupils self-reported mental well-being post intervention (at five months).

Read the detailed description

The study is a cluster randomised trial. From May 2018 - May 2019, we recruited the total of 110 Danish schools (27 schools from the Capital Region of Denmark, 18 schools from Region Zealand, 25 schools from Region of Southern Denmark, 30 schools from Central Denmark Region and 10 schools from Region of Northern Denmark).

The schools included the total of 191 school teachers for teacher training (56 teachers from the Capital Region of Denmark, 28 teachers from Region Zealand, 42 teachers from Region of Southern Denmark, 50 teachers from Central Denmark Region and 15 teachers from Region of Northern Denmark). Each included teacher will be asked to recruit a class of pupils (15-25 pupils) to test the effectiveness of the .b-programme (in total approx. 3000 pupils).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • School teacher training /.bBehavioural

    The intervention is a multi-level, multi-component complex intervention. It consists of a school teacher training programme and the .b-programme to be delivered to pupils 11-15 years in the schools.

    The school teacher training programme consists of three parts: 1) the establishment of own mindfulness practice by participation in the MBSR programme and sustaining mindfulness with a regular formal daily practice; 2) completion of the four days .b residential course, and 3) completion of the 3x2-days seminars on relational competences and implementation issues regarding teaching .b .

    The .b programme consists of well-described, weekly 40-60 minutes classroom sessions over 10 weeks. All the sessions have a specific theme, associated teachers' notes, power points and animations. The .b programme can only be delivered with fidelity by a trained .b teacher.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing School teacher training /.b in people with Mental Health and Children, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The total difficulties score of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)- youth self-report (time frame: 23.03.21: Seven months after baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04208113, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Mar 2024.
