Abstract

Background: VIP Snakk om det (formerly known as VIP-programmet) is a psycho educative intervention targeting youth in first grade at Highschool (16 -17 years of age). The intervention provides information about mental health and mental disorders, including counselling on how to cope with mental health challenges. Teacher and health personnel are trained in the intervention, and in how to detect mental health problems early to implement necessary measures through the health services.

Methods: The following databases were searched to identify articles evaluating the intervention: Embase, Medline and Psycinfo, NORART Cochrane, Cristin, NORA, SCOPUS and SweMed, NREPP, NICE and Blueprint. Information from the intervention developer has also been collected. Results from the litterature searches and other information obtained, were reviewed to identify Nordic effect studies, international systematic reviews, and other Norwegian studies of the intervention.

Results: VIP Snakk om det is evaluated in a quasi-experimental design with an intervention and a control group. Data was collected pre and post intervention, with 6-, 12- and 24-months follow-up. Effects on knowledge about mental health disorders after the intervention and follow-up were moderate. Symptoms of mental health problems are only obtained after the intervention was carried out and at one-year follow-up. Due to the chosen study design and questionnaires, it is difficult to compare the results with the results from other studies in the field. In addition, anxiety symptoms were assessed using a brief scale (5 items) with unknown psychometric properties.

Conclusion: VIP is classified at evidence level 3 – Intervention with some documentation of effect.
