Rapid knowledge mobilisation to promote adolescent mental health in the era of COVID-19

在COVID-19大流行期间，年轻人暴露于精神病理学的既定风险因素，并一直在努力获得学校和CAMHS的支持。现有的心理教育材料通常以父母为对象，向其子女或青少年提供支持。这种被动的信息传递不太可能对年龄较大的青少年（14-24岁）有效，他们逐渐与父母分离，并努力获得代理权。为了支持年轻人的心理健康，我们将与青少年和创意专业人士共同制作新颖，引人入胜的心理教育材料，并迅速在英国广泛传播。首先，我们将利用正在进行的纵向调查所产生的丰富数据，以捕捉年轻人对其心理健康问题的声音，并利用我们在确定和提供循证干预措施方面的专业知识。其次，我们将与年轻人合作，优先考虑心理健康问题，并确保基于证据的干预措施的内容是明确和相关的。然后，我们将与年轻人和创意专业人士合作，以最吸引人的方式制作材料。第三，我们将传播广泛认为的社交媒体活动所制作的材料，以及我们与英国各地志愿组织建立的联系。这些材料还将与当地高级临床医生合作，在所有权力下放国家传播。这项工作将在未来几个月内对青年人不断变化的心理健康需求作出反应。我们还确保内容开发、制作和传播可以亲自或远程进行，从而最大限度地提高可行性。

During the COVID-19 pandemic young people have been exposed to established risk factors for psychopathology and have been struggling to access support from schools and CAMHS. Existing psycho-educational materials typically targeted parents to deliver support to their children or adolescents. This passive transfer of information is unlikely to work well with older adolescents (14-24 years), who progressively separate from their parents and strive to gain agency. To support young people's mental health, we will co-produce novel, engaging psycho-educational materials with adolescents and creative professionals, and rapidly disseminate them widely across the UK. First, we will capitalise on the wealth of data emerging from ongoing longitudinal surveys to capture young people's voices about their mental health concerns and on our expertise in identifying and delivering evidence-based interventions. Second, we will work with young people to prioritise the mental health concerns and to ensure that the content built from evidence-based interventions is clear and relevant. We will then work with young people and creative professionals to produce the materials in the most engaging way. Third, we will disseminate the materials produced widely thought social media campaigns and our established links with voluntary organisations across the UK. The materials will also be disseminated across all devolved nations in partnership with local senior clinicians. This work will be responsive to the changing mental health needs of young people in the months ahead. We have also ensured that content development, production, and dissemination can be undertaken both in-person or remotely, maximising feasibility.
