Development and implementation of a group based mental health intervention for unaccompanied minors
Unaccompanied refugee minors (UMs) are at significant risk to experience severe mental health symptoms (Derluyn, Broekaert& Schuyten). Trauma ‐focused treatments have been found to be effective for traumatized refugees (Slobodin& de Jong). However, trauma ‐focused mental health services are seldom available, and treatment fails when UMs lack trust in service providers (Majumder, O'Reilly, Karim& Vostanis). In order to address this gap, a 10 ‐session group based mental health intervention for UMs was developed and then pilot tested in 3 accommodation units for UMs in Finland. The implementation and effectiveness of th...

Present and future temporal profiles and their relationship to health intentions and behaviors: A test on a Norwegian general population sample
We investigated the temporal profiles of a Norwegian general population sample and their relation to health behaviors and intentions. The profiles were based on variables from the present and future dimensions of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFCS), and the combination of both scales. The analysis revealed that there were only two stable clusters that corresponded to the present and the future profiles. Generally, CFCS ‐based present and future profiles were more effective at predicting health behaviors and intentions than ZTPI‐based profiles. Profiles b...

Universal parental support for parents of adolescents: Who wants municipality ‐based parental support and in what form?
Parenting a child through adolescence can be a challenge for many parents; adolescents go through notable developmental, physical, and psychological changes that affect the relationships around them. Most parents find parental support during these years important. These young people's relationships with their parents are important to their mental health, but although parental support is universally available to parents of younger children, it is still scarce for parents of adolescents. The aim of this study was to explore what factors are associated with interest in universal parental support through telephone interviews a...
