目的大学时期是儿童发展的关键时期,也是精神障碍的发病高峰时期。方法世界卫生组织“世界大学生心理健康国际倡议”(WMH-ICS)旨在制定和实施一套促进大学生心理健康问题预防和早期干预的系统。结果该倡议包括三个核心要素。第一个要素是基于网络的调查,以评估情绪问题的程度和性质,这些问题对学生功能的影响,以及寻求治疗的障碍。所有参与大学的一年级学生都被邀请参加,我们计划在未来将调查扩大到所有学生。第二个要素是一个基础设施,用于测试旨在预防和早期干预心理健康问题的基于互联网的干预措施。参与的大学可以在随机试验中开发和测试基于互联网的干预措施。目前已对此类干预措施进行了第一次试点测试。第三个要素是传播和持续监测WMH-ICS制定的循证干预措施的质量改进。通过解决这三个核心要素,WMH-ICS旨在整合流行病学和临床研究,为生命历程关键阶段的精神卫生问题提供可扩展和有效的循证干预措施。
Objectives The college years are a developmentally crucial period and a peak age for the onset of mental disorders. Methods The World Health Organization World Mental Health International College Student (WMH-ICS) initiative is aimed at developing and implementing a system for improving prevention and early interventions for mental health problems among college students. Results The initiative consists of three core elements. The first element is a web-based survey to assess the magnitude and nature of emotional problems, the effects of these problems on students' functioning, and barriers to seeking treatment. All first-year students in participating colleges are invited to participate, and we plan to expand the survey to all students in the future. The second element is an infrastructure to test internet-based interventions aimed at the prevention and early intervention in mental health problems. Participating colleges can develop and test internet-based interventions in randomized trials. The first pilot tests on such interventions now been done. The third element is the dissemination and continuous quality improvement monitoring of the evidence-based interventions developed in WMH-ICS. Conclusions By addressing these three core elements, the WMH-ICS aims to integrate epidemiological and clinical research to offer scalable and effective evidence-based interventions for mental health problems at a critical life course stage.
