The problem
Intervention: Passport, a universal social and emotional learning intervention delivered over 18 weekly sessions in schools
Who it was tested with: English primary school pupils aged 8-9 at baseline (approximately 2400 children across 60 schools in Greater Manchester).
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"This protocol describes a two-arm parallel cluster randomised controlled trial to investigate the impact of a universal SEL intervention (Passport, compared to usual provision) on internalising symptoms (primary outcome)...Random allocation will be at school level following completion of baseline measures, with minimisation to ensure balance across trial arms in school size and free school meal eligibility." This represents a rigorous experimental design using randomisation and comparison groups to establish whether the intervention causes changes in mental health outcomes.
This is a protocol paper; no outcome data are available yet. The trial is newly registered (November 2022) and results are not yet reported.
