"It felt very special, it felt customised to me"-A qualitative investigation of the experiences of participating in a clinical trial of CBT for young people at risk of bipolar disorder.

Objectives: The Bipolar at Risk Trial (BART) was a feasibility randomized controlled trial investigating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) compared with treatment as usual (TAU) in young people at high risk of developing bipolar disorder (BD). This qualitative study aimed to investigate participants' experiences of trial involvement, and the acceptability of CBT for this population.

Design: Participants were those identified as being at risk of bipolar disorder, determined by current symptoms or family history.

Assessing social recovery of vulnerable youth in global mental health settings: a pilot study of clinical research tools in Malaysia.

Background: A social recovery approach to youth mental health focuses on increasing the time spent in valuable and meaningful structured activities, with a view to preventing enduring mental health problems and social disability. In Malaysia, access to mental health care is particularly limited and little research has focused on identifying young people at risk of serious socially disabling mental health problems such as psychosis. We provide preliminary evidence for the feasibility and acceptability of core social recovery assessment tools in a Malaysian context, comparing the experiential process of engaging young Malaysian participants in social recovery assessments with prior accounts from a UK sample.
