Abstract Background The prevalence of social determinants of health (i.e. rurality, low education and poverty) among men put them at an elevated risk for comorbid cardiac disease and mental illness. While, men are particularly vulnerable to mental illnesses (i.e. depression, anxiety) after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), they are typically averse to seeking medical care, especially for mental health issues. Targeting interventions to at-risk population groups is a well documented approach. However, little in the literature presents how to prevent mental illness in cardiac men. This study aims to develop, implement and pilot a psychoeducational program tailored for post-ACS men. Methods A mixed method including a scoping review, a qualitative study and a quasi-experimental pilot study. Results In total, 42 articles were retrieved to extract key components of cardiac men-sensitive psychoeducation programs. We led 22 focus groups and 14 semi-structured interviews (119 men in total). The mean age was 51.2 years [45-77]. We integrated the gathered data gathered from the scoping review and the qualitative study to develop a psychoeducational program (3 group sessions). The pilot study involved 48 men who completed the baseline, the 3-month and the 6-month data collections. We observed 80% of compliance. Findings show a significant improvement in PHQ-9, GAD-7, IES-R, CSI and EQ-5D scales. We also observed changes in the CMNI-22, a measure of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors associated with both traditional and non-traditional masculine gender roles. Men appreciated the time flexibility (sessions were scheduled based on participants’ availability) and the responsiveness of the sessions (content was discussed based on their needs and interests). Life partners were invited and 65% attended to all sessions. Conclusions The program was a success and we expect to transform it into a peer-led intervention to improve its delivery in the community and its accessibility for rural and remote areas. Key messages At-risk population-sensitive approaches are key for compliance and effectiveness. Group sessions are effective approaches to improve men’s mental heatlh literacy.

Purpose This pilot study explored the effectiveness of an early storybook reading (ESR) intervention for parents with babies with hearing loss (HL) for improving (a) parents' book selection skills, (b) parent–child eye contact, and (c) parent–child turn-taking. Advancing research into ESR, this study examined whether the benefits from an ESR intervention reported for babies without HL were also observed in babies with HL. Method Four mother–baby dyads participated in a multiple baseline single-case experimental design across behaviors. Treatment effects for parents' book selection skills, parent–child eye contact, and parent–child turn-taking were examined using visual analysis and Tau-U analysis. Results Statistically significant increases, with large to very large effect sizes, were observed for all 4 participants for parent–child eye contact and parent–child turn-taking. Limited improvements with ceiling effects were observed for parents' book selection skills. Conclusion The findings provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of an ESR intervention for babies with HL for promoting parent–child interactions through eye contact and turn-taking.
