The PROMISE Project led by Dr Kapil Sayal is a randomised controlled trial examining the effectiveness of school based programmes in the prevention of depressive symptoms for high risk adolescents aged 13 to 16.
The aim of the trial is to investigate whether young people can learn skills during their Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) lessons that will help them to stay happy and positive in their mood and help prevent depression.
The NIHR Mental Health Research Network (East Midlands Hub) has recently recruited 15 Research Assistants to support Dr Kapil Sayal’s Study and the Hub are providing additional CSO support.
