Primary Care Online Emotion-regulation Treatment (POET)
Sponsor: Karolinska Institutet
Summary
Mental health problems in youth are a global problem, causing incalculable suffering in youth and families, harming long-term prospects of youths, and creating substantial economic costs to society. The overall objective of this study is to build an evidence base for a highly scalable transdiagnostic intervention called the Primary care Online Emotion-regulation Treatment (POET) for youth (12-17 years) seeking treatment for mental health problems. In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators will examine the effects of POET. The investigators will test if emotion regulation mediates reduction in mental health problems during treatment. In addition the investigators will test if POET is more effective for some individuals than others and evaluate if POET is cost-effective. The investigators will also test whether there are detectable effects of POET on distal outcomes utilizing registry data following participants up to 10 years post treatment.

Interventions
POET feeling
POET is adapted from online Emotion Regulation Individual Therapy for Adolescents developed by the research group (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03353961). POET is also based on the Modal model of emotion and Process model of emotion regulation that provides a framework for understanding how emotions are generated, experienced and how they can be regulated. The youth component of POET will include psychoeducation, addressing maladaptive beliefs about emotions and emotion regulation, and teaching adaptive emotion regulation strategies, such as acceptance of emotions and flexible cognitive reappraisal. The parent component will include psychoeducation and teaching effective support and responding to their adolescent's and their own emotions.
Supportive treatment
The treatment will include educative material on mental health and self-reflection on themes such as school, family and friends. The parent component will include educative material and self reflection in how to support their adolescent.
