A hope intervention for adolescents: a randomized controlled trial delivered by paraprofessionals
This relatively low-cost intervention offers new hope for counteracting the global increase in youth despair. The effect sizes obtained in this study compare favorably with outcome data for cognitive-behavioral treatments and a few available agency-centered hope interventions. There is a potential for broad impact via the implementation of an accessible training program as well as online deliveries in either synchronous or asynchronous modes.
