| Abstract |
With increasing rates of college students with various mental health concerns, The gap between students鈥� mental health needs and services available is growing wider. The present study aims to design a campus-based transdiagnostic intervention that can be implemented to address college student mental health. Utilizing a two-arm randomized controlled trial, the results showed that transdiagnostic intervention is effective in lowering psychological distress and transdiagnostic mechanisms (e.g. intolerance of uncertainty, repetitive negative thinking, experiential avoidance, and distress intolerance). The effectiveness of transdiagnostic intervention as a campus-based mental health program in a low-income, Asian country responds to the call for a shift toward alternative low-intensity treatment approaches that can have a greater public mental health impact. |
