Piloting a School-Based Distress Tolerance Skills Program for Adolescents (NCT06638853)
The STRIDE Study (Strengthening Tolerance and Resilience in Dealing with Emotions): Pilot Testing of a School-Based Distress Tolerance Skills Program for Reducing Risk of Psychopathology in Adolescence
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Research suggests that an individual's perceived ability to withstand distressing or upsetting emotions (i.e., distress tolerance; DT) is a common risk factor across several mental health conditions that commonly emerge during adolescence. This study aims to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and initial efficacy of a classroom-based DT skills training program for middle school students. This study will also explore associations between changes in DT and internalizing symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression).
