The implementability and proximal effects of a transdiagnostic mental health intervention for adolescents (Kort): protocol for a mixed-methods intensive longitudinal study.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis protocol describes a study designed to test the implementability and proximal effects of a transdiagnostic mental health intervention for adolescents in school health services. The study is driven by the urgent need to address the rising mental health challenges among adolescents, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Leveraging implementation science and evidence-informed intervention elements, this co-designed intervention focuses on emotion regulation (ER) as a central target for usable prevention and support.
methodsThe study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating intensive longitudinal experience sampling (daily measures for 13 weeks), a micro trial, pre-, post-, and follow-up measures, audio recordings, and qualitative interviews to triangulate data from school nurses and adolescent participants. The research questions span the domains of intervention implementability, barriers and facilitators to implementation, proximal outcomes for adolescents' emotion regulation, the mechanisms driving the intervention's proximal effects, and response burden in experience sampling. The study aims to recruit a minimum of 25 health nurses and 46 adolescents. DISCUSSION: The study is novel in using mixed methods from multiple theoretical paradigms to examine ER as a dynamic process and transdiagnostic target outcome for promoting mental health and preventing disorders. Through daily diary and ecological momentary assessments, the study explores the intricacies of ER in real-life settings. Coupling the experience sampling with highly detailed fidelity measurement, we will observe adolescents' day-to-day responses to intervention elements and how they affect emotion regulation. The integrated micro-trial also addresses concerns about response burden in experience sampling to optimize data collection strategies for future studies. The findings from this study can increase our understanding of ER as a mental health process, and contribute to the development of scalable, efficient, and context-appropriate mental health interventions in school nursing.
