简要总结
The proposed project aims to provide international students on F-1, J-1, or M-1 visas at Purdue additional culturally-relevant support by implementing and testing a psychosocial intervention. The intervention was designed based on the results of a recently published research study (Bhojwani et al., 2020) about international student concerns and needs in the time of COVID-19. This intervention is designed to test the effectiveness of a strengths-based intervention that targets the particular needs of international students during COVID. The intervention was designed based on evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral and Systemic Therapy (Jafar et. al, 2016; Saravanan et. al., 2017) approaches to addressing stress and anxiety in a culturally-relevant manner and to decrease social isolation.

研究组 & 干预措施
Asynchronous Group
The asynchronous intervention will provide access to information and resources for mental health support via Brightspace. The intervention will be six weeks long and each week will have a topic. The weekly topics include (1) identifying feelings; (2) biology of emotions; (3) mindfulness; (4) recognizing and responding to stress; (5) mental health stigma; and (6) self-care/self-advocacy. Each week, you will be required to complete four types of activities: education, reflective exercises, an activity, and a short assessment. All of these resources will be provided on Brightspace to be completed on your own time but the activities must be completed during the week they are assigned. You will not have to interact with other international students if you are in the asynchronous intervention group.
干预措施: Asynchronous Intervention (Behavioral)
Synchronous Group
If you are assigned to the synchronous intervention group, you will be required to complete the asynchronous interventions on Brightspace AND attend a weekly one-hour support group. These support groups will meet virtually using a restricted WebEx channel and will be recorded. In this support group, students will discuss the weekly activities and build connections and support with each other. This group will be led by advanced doctoral students in counseling psychology and overseen by a counseling psychology faculty member, who is also a licensed psychologist.

Waitlist
If you are assigned to the wait-list group, you will not have access to the asynchronous or synchronous interventions during the course of this study. After this study is completed, you will have access to the asynchronous intervention on Brightspace.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline of DASC-21 scores to Post-intervention
时间窗: 6 weeks
DASC-21 assesses depression and anxiety symptoms, average scores will be used \[range 0-3\], with higher scores indicating worse outcome
Change from Baseline of CCAPS-34 scores to 10 weeks
时间窗: 10 weeks
CCAPS-34 assesses seven domains of psychological symptoms salient to college students, average scores will be used \[range 0-4\], with higher scores indicating worse outcome
Change from Baseline of DASC-21 scores to 10-weeks
时间窗: 10 weeks
DASC-21 assesses depression and anxiety symptoms, average scores will be used \[range 0-3\], with higher scores indicating worse outcome
Change from Baseline of CCAPS-34 scores to Post-intervention
时间窗: 6 weeks
CCAPS-34 assesses seven domains of psychological symptoms salient to college students, average scores will be used \[range 0-4\], with higher scores indicating worse outcome
次要结局
- Group Session Rating Scale (GSRS)(weekly for 6 weeks)
- Campus Climate(through the study completion, an average of 10 weeks)
