Evaluation of the Results of a Multicomponent Emotional Health Intervention in a School Setting.

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
backgroundThe global prevalence of anxiety and internalizing disorders in adolescence has increased epidemiologically over the past decade, compounded by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the expansion of digital social networks. Despite the availability of empirically based interventions, their systematic implementation in Spanish educational settings-especially in socioeconomically vulnerable environments-remains insufficient. This study aimed to assess the emotional symptomatology profile in a sample of adolescents enrolled in the 2nd year of Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE) and to describe the changes in symptomatology observed after implementation of a multicomponent intervention program in an ordinary school setting.
methodsa quasi-experimental single-group repeated-measures design was used, with pretest-posttest measurements (T1-T2). The sample included 79 participants (age in completed years: M = 13.28 years, SD = 0.64; range: 12-15; 49.4% female, 44.3% male, 6.3% undisclosed), selected by convenience at IES Estuaria (Huelva). The assessment instrument was the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS-47), which measures total anxiety, total internalization, and six clinical subdimensions aligned with DSM-5: generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), panic disorder (PD), separation anxiety (SA), social phobia (SP), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The intervention consisted of five multicomponent group workshops (45 min/session; three class groups) integrating emotional psychoeducation, receptive music therapy, cognitive-behavioral emotional regulation, assertive communication, and body expression/mindfulness.
resultsAt pretest, Social Phobia (SP) showed the highest clinical impairment, significantly affecting more females (66.67%) than males (20.00%). Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) also presented high impairment in females. Significant correlations between pairs of subdimensions revealed a high comorbidity pattern. Following the intervention, reductions in clinically significant levels were observed across all dimensions. Matched-pairs Wilcoxon signed-rank tests confirmed statistically significant score reductions from T1 to T2 in Total Anxiety, Total Internalization, Social Phobia, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (all
conclusionsThe multicomponent intervention program produced improvements in emotional symptomatology over the short-term follow-up period, although without achieving complete clinical remission in any subdimension. The persistent sex differences-with greater residual impairment in the female group after intervention-underscore the need to incorporate a gender perspective in the design of school emotional health programs. High comorbidity rates between subdimensions support the utility of transdiagnostic approaches. Implications for school nursing practice and future research are discussed.
