- Purpose: Common mental disorders (CMDs) and musculoskeletal disorders are highly prevalent in the population and cause significant distress and disability, and high costs to society. The main objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the outcome and comparative effectiveness of psychological interventions in reducing sickness absence (SA) due to CMDs or musculoskeletal disorders, compared to a waitlist control group, usual care or another clinical intervention.Methods: We reviewed 3515 abstracts of randomized controlled trials published from 1998 to 2017. Of these, 30 studies were included in the analysis.Results: The psychological interventions were overall more effective than treatment as usual in reducing SA (small effect sizes), but not compared to other clinical interventions. Results were similar for studies on CMDs and musculoskeletal pain. A few significant moderating effects were found for treatment-specific variables. However, these were difficult to interpret as they pointed in different directions.Conclusion: There was a small but significant effect of psychological treatments in reducing SA. We identified areas of improvement such as methodological problems among the included studies and failure to specifically address RTW in the interventions that were evaluated. Clinical implications of the findings, and ways of improving methodological rigour of future studies are discussed.

- There are over 40 million displaced children and youth worldwide and there is a need promote their mental wellbeing. This study aimed to synthesize evidence regarding promotion interventions to increase wellbeing, resilience, and quality of life (primary outcomes), and prevention interventions to reduce internalizing and externalizing symptoms (secondary outcomes) in this population. The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022329978). Medline, PsycINFO, and Web of Science were searched. Inclusion criteria were: ≥ 10 participants, sample ≤ 18 years of age, no parental participation, explicated forced migrant populations, implementation in non-clinical context, and validated measures. Fifteen studies (N interventions = 18, N participants = 5741) were eligible. Two studies included outcomes related to wellbeing and quality of life. The remaining studies reported depression, PTSD, anxiety, internalizing and externalizing behaviours, and behavioural and emotional problems. There was only sufficient data to perform random-effects meta-analysis of depression scores. No significant effects were observed in comparison to control condition in randomized trials (n = 4994, k = 5) but a small significant positive trend was observed in within-group analyses (n = 537, k = 12). Cochrane's risk of bias tools and the GRADE certainty of evidence tool were applied. No studies achieved low risk of bias and certainty of evidence was very low. In sum, there remains a dearth of rigorous intervention studies investigating the effects of promotive and preventative psychological interventions on the wellbeing, resilience, and quality of life of forcibly displaced minors. However, the few eligible studies in this review indicate promise.

- ObjectiveIn 2015, the Academy for Eating Disorders collaborated with international patient, advocacy, and parent organizations to craft the Nine Truths About Eating Disorders'. This document has been translated into over 30 languages and has been distributed globally to replace outdated and erroneous stereotypes about eating disorders with factual information. In this paper, we review the state of the science supporting the Nine Truths'. MethodsThe literature supporting each of the Nine Truths' was reviewed, summarized and richly annotated. ResultsMost of the Nine Truths' arise from well-established foundations in the scientific literature. Additional evidence is required to further substantiate some of the assertions in the document. Future investigations are needed in all areas to deepen our understanding of eating disorders, their causes and their treatments. ConclusionsThe Nine Truths About Eating Disorders' is a guiding document to accelerate global dissemination of accurate and evidence-informed information about eating disorders.

- Although under-diagnosed, anxiety and depression are among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents, leading to severe impairment, increased risk of future psychiatric problems, and a high economic burden to society. Universal prevention may be a potent way to address these widespread problems. There are several benefits to universal relative to targeted interventions because there is limited knowledge as to how to screen for anxiety and depression in the general population. Earlier meta-analyses of the prevention of depression and anxiety symptoms among children suffer from methodological inadequacies such as combining universal, selective, and indicated interventions in the same analyses, and comparing cluster-randomized trials with randomized trials without any correction for clustering effects. The present meta-analysis attempted to determine the effectiveness of universal interventions to prevent anxiety and depressive symptoms after correcting for clustering effects. A systematic search of randomized studies in PsychINFO, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar resulted in 30 eligible studies meeting inclusion criteria, namely peer-reviewed, randomized or cluster-randomized trials of universal interventions for anxiety and depressive symptoms in school-aged children. Sixty-three percent of the studies reported outcome data regarding anxiety and 87 % reported outcome data regarding depression. Seventy percent of the studies used randomization at the cluster level. There were small but significant effects regarding anxiety (.13) and depressive (.11) symptoms as measured at immediate posttest. At follow-up, which ranged from 3 to 48 months, effects were significantly larger than zero regarding depressive (.07) but not anxiety (.11) symptoms. There was no significant moderation effect of the following pre-selected variables: the primary aim of the intervention (anxiety or depression), deliverer of the intervention, gender distribution, children's age, and length of the intervention. Despite small effects, we argue for the possible clinical and practical significance of these programs. Future evaluations should carefully investigate the moderators and mediators of program effects to identify active program components.

- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has received strong research support for anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. However, less is known about how CBT performs when delivered in routine clinical care. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted of CBT for these anxiety disorders in adults treated in routine clinical care. Ovid MEDLINE, Embase OVID, and PsycINFO were systematically searched for articles published until May 2022. The effectiveness of CBT, methodological quality, and moderators of treatment outcome were examined, and benchmarked by meta-analytically comparing with efficacy studies for the same disorders. Sixty-six studies were included, comprising 6,113 participants. Large within-group effect sizes (ESs; Hedges’s g) were detected for anxiety measures at posttreatment (1.09) and follow-up (1.39), as well as for the secondary outcome of depression measures (0.80 at both assessment points). Attrition rate across the disorders was 15.9%. The benchmarking analysis showed that effectiveness studies had very similar ES (1.09) as efficacy studies (1.07) at posttreatment and at follow-up (1.39 vs. 1.30), and there were no significant differences in remission rates. Thus, the outcomes of effectiveness studies for these anxiety disorders are comparable with the results obtained in efficacy studies.

- Background: Different cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) have strong research support for treatment of adult depressive disorders (DD). Given the scarcity of knowledge about the performance of CBT in routine clinical care, a systematic review and meta-analysis of CBT for adults with DD treated in this context was conducted.Methods: Published studies until the end of September 2022, were systematically searched in Ovid MEDLINE, Embase OVID, and PsycINFO. The effectiveness of CBT, methodological quality, and moderators of treatment outcome were examined, and benchmarked by meta-analytically comparing with efficacy studies for DD.Results: Twenty-eight studies, comprising 3734 participants, were included. Large within-group effect sizes (ES) were obtained for DD-severity at post-treatment, and follow-up, on average 8 months post-treatment. Benchmarking analysis showed that effectiveness studies had very similar ESs as efficacy studies at post-treatment (1.51 vs. 1.71) and follow-up (1.71 vs. 1.85). Remission rates were also very similar; effectiveness studies 44 % and 46 %, efficacy studies 45 % and 46 %, at post-treatment and follow-up, respectively.Limitations: Only studies published in English-language peer-reviewed journals were included and the use of pre-post ES in the meta-analyses could contribute to biased outcomes.Conclusions: CBT for DD is an effective treatment when delivered in routine clinical care and the outcomes of effectiveness studies for DD are comparable to the effects obtained in efficacy studies.

- Although different cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) have strong research support for treatment of adult post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) more knowledge is needed about the performance of CBT in routine clinical care. The present study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of CBT for PTSD in adults treated in routine clinical care. Ovid MEDLINE, Embase OVID, and PsycINFO were systematically searched for studies published until the end of May 2022. The effectiveness of CBT, methodological quality, and moderators of treatment outcome were examined, and benchmarked by meta-analytically comparing with efficacy studies for PTSD. Thirty-three studies, comprising 6482 participants, were included. The within-group effect sizes (ES) for PTSD-severity at post-treatment (1.75), and follow-up (1.70), on average 6 months post-treatment, were large. The effectiveness studies had very similar ESs as efficacy studies at post-treatment (1.75 vs. 1.72) and follow-up (1.70 vs. 2.02), based on the benchmarking analysis. As the heterogeneity was large, we can only cautiously consider CBT for PTSD an effective treatment when delivered in routine clinical care. The outcomes of effectiveness studies for PTSD seem to be comparable to the results obtained in efficacy studies.
