Abstract: Internet-delivered unified protocol for transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders in adolescents (iUP-A): Web application and study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. A characteristic of transdiagnostic treatment is that it targets simultaneously the core symptoms and underlying vulnerabilities of several disorders. The UP-A is a new empirically supported cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) protocol developed by Ehrenreich-May’s group for the transdiagnostic treatment approach of emotional disorders (i.e., depression, anxiety and related disorders) in adolescents (Ehrenreich-May et al., 2018), to be applied in a face-to-face format. Internet-delivered psychological treatments represent an emerging model to improve access to evidence-based CBT. A first aim of this study is to describe the development of a web application named Aprende a Manejar Tus Emociones (AMTE; Learn to Manage Your Emotions), designed to implement the UP-A in order to be delivered via internet (iUP-A). A second objective is to test the efficacy of the iUP-A for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders compared to waiting list, in a randomized controlled trial. We investigated changes in a broad range of primary, secondary and transdiagnostic outcome measures.Keywords: Transdiagnostic; UP-A; iUP-A; internet-delivered CBT; AMTE; anxiety; depression.Resumen: Una característica del tratamiento transdiagnóstico consiste en que aborda simultáneamente los síntomas principales y las vulnerabilidades que subyacen a varios trastornos. El UP-A es un nuevo protocolo de terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC) basada en la evidencia desarrollado por el grupo de Ehrenreich-May para un tratamiento transdiagnóstico de los trastornos emocionales (i.e., depresión, ansiedad y trastornos relacionados) en adolescentes (Ehrenreich-May et al., 2018), para ser aplicado en un formato cara-a-cara. Los tratamientos psicológicos dispensados a través de internet representan un modelo emergente para mejorar el acceso a la TCC basada en la evidencia. Un primer objetivo del presente estudio consiste en describir el desarrollo de una aplicación web denominada Aprende a Manejar Tus Emociones (AMTE), diseñada para implementar el UP-A con objeto de ser dispensado a través de internet (iUP-A). Un segundo objetivo es probar la eficacia del iUP-A para el tratamiento de la depresión y los trastornos de ansiedad en comparación con una lista de espera, en un ensayo controlado aleatorizado. Se investigan los cambios en un amplio rango de medidas de resultado primarias, secundarias y transdiagnósticas.Palabras clave: Transdiagnóstico; UP-A; iUP-A; TCC por internet; AMTE; ansiedad; depresión.

Introduction: Bullying is a major preventable risk factor for mental disorders. Available evidence suggests school-based interventions reduce bullying prevalence rates. This study aims to test the efficacy of a web-enabled, school-based, multicomponent anti-bullying intervention to prevent school bullying and to assess its effects on mental health and quality of life.Methods and analysis: Cluster randomized controlled trial conducted in 20 publicly funded primary and secondary schools in Madrid, Spain. Schools are randomly allocated to either the intervention arm (n = 10) or conventional practices arm (n = 10). The web-enabled intervention (LINKlusive) lasts ~12 weeks and consists of three main components: (i) an online training program for teachers and parents, (ii) a web-guided educational program for students, focusing on promoting respect for diversity, empathy, and social skill development, and (iii) a web-guided, teacher-delivered, targeted intervention program for bullying situations identified based on peer-support strategies and individual intervention for those involved (i.e., bullying victims and perpetrators). The primary objective is to compare differences between peer-reported bullying victimization in the intervention and control arms at the end of the intervention. Secondary outcome measures are additional measures of bullying victimization and perpetration, mental health symptoms, self-esteem, and quality of life. A follow-up assessment is conducted 1 year after the end of the intervention. Treatment effects will be tested using multilevel mixed models, adjusting for school-, classroom-, and student-related covariates. Considering the increased bullying rates in children with special educational needs, a specific subgroup analysis will test the efficacy of the intervention on bullying prevalence, mental health, and quality of life in this particularly vulnerable population.Ethics and Dissemination: The Deontology Commission of the School of Psychology, Universidad Complutense in Madrid, Spain reviewed the study protocol and granted ethical approval on 21st January 2019. The results of the trial will be disseminated in relevant peer-reviewed journals and at conferences in the field.Trial Registration Number: ISRCTN15719015.
