So, there is a need for evidence-based psychotherapies that can work well with students in those sometimes complex environments.

One hundred forty-two elementary and middle school students (Mage = 9.78, SD = 1.76, range 7-14; 39% female; 59% White, 18% multiracial, 9% Black, 6% Asian, 4% Hispanic, 4% another race/ethnicity) from five urban and suburban school districts were treated by 57 school counselors who had been randomized to STEPs or usual counseling (UC).RESULTSThe full sample improved significantly across multiple multi-informant mental health measures-administered at baseline, during treatment, at posttreatment, and 6-month follow-up.

However, there was no significant difference between STEPs and UC on any mental health outcome, and STEPs students showed poorer school engagement during treatment than UC students.CONCLUSIONSSTEPs did not outperform UC, despite strong STEPs fidelity by counselors; future research may test whether this finding is robust or might be altered by adapting evidence-based modular treatment for the school context.

While difficulties with negative emotion regulation are common across these disorders, difficulties with positive emotion regulation are often overlooked. This study evaluated the efficacy of a digitally adapted UP incorporating positive emotion regulation strategies (internet-delivered unified protocol+).METHODIn a randomized clinical trial, 120 adults (Mage = 34.0, SD = 12.0; 73% female; 75% White) with principal anxiety, depressive, or obsessive-compulsive disorders were assigned to the internet-delivered unified protocol+ (n = 80) or standard internet-delivered unified protocol (n = 40). Both 12-week programs occurred via an online platform with asynchronous clinical support through weekly messaging. Outcomes included anxiety, depression, and stress; positive/negative affect; functional impairment; savoring; positive mental health; and flourishing. Analyses included between- and within-group effect sizes, remission comparisons, and latent growth modeling.RESULTSBoth groups demonstrated statistically significant reductions in anxiety, depression, stress, negative affect, and functional impairment (standardized mean gain effect size ≈ -0.28 to -1.13) that were maintained across a 3-month follow-up. Statistically significant, small-to-moderate gains in positive mental health and flourishing (standardized mean gain effect size ≈ 0.31-0.37) were also observed and maintained.

However, the comparative effectiveness of online self-directed versus facilitator-delivered telehealth for families with varying characteristics remains unclear. This study examined whether baseline child mental health symptoms moderate parental response to two remote delivery formats of a parenting intervention for military families.METHODA sample of 149 families with a 4- to 12-year-old child and at least one parent deployed post-9/11 participated in a 14-week After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools parenting intervention. The intervention was delivered postdeployment and focused on strengthening parenting to support child adjustment. Families were randomly assigned to one of two remote formats. Both fathers and mothers were invited to participate and independently reported their child's externalizing and internalizing symptoms at baseline. Observed parenting practices were assessed at baseline and at 1-year follow-up. Separate moderation models were conducted for fathers and mothers.RESULTSFor mothers and fathers, baseline child externalizing behavior moderated the effect of delivery format on parenting practices at 1 year. At high symptom levels, telehealth had a greater impact on parenting practices than the online self-directed format. At low symptom levels, both formats produced similar improvements in parenting practices for fathers, while online self-directed delivery had a greater impact than telehealth format for mothers reporting low child externalizing symptoms.CONCLUSIONSParents reporting higher child symptoms benefit most from a facilitator-delivered telehealth parent training, whereas online self-directed training appears adequate for lower child symptoms.

However, multiple operationalizations of the SMD are possible for clinical trial data, with large potential impacts on estimate magnitudes. In this commentary, I review practices for operationalizing the SMD in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology and other journals that publish results of clinical trials. I find that only one third of studies report sufficient information to determine the operationalization. Among those, the operationalization varies widely, threatening the SMD's utility in providing a common scale. Given the common goals and design elements across many trials, it is feasible to establish a default operationalization for the SMD's standardizer. I outline eight desirable SMD properties and evaluate each option against these properties. The pooled baseline standard deviation meets seven of eight, far more than any alternative, with its main limitation being susceptibility to inflation from restrictive inclusion criteria. I conclude that raw effect estimates should be divided by the pooled baseline standard deviation as a default, one-size-fits-most choice. Adopting this standard will help the SMD meet its promise as a standardized metric, improving comparability of results across different measures, outcomes, studies, and populations. I also provide reporting recommendations to improve transparency and enable recomputation using alternative standardizers when needed.
