“…Most programs were delivered weekly, with sessions not longer than an hour in duration and program length at least 10 sessions. It is possible that these features exist for more practical reasons (e.g., to fit within complex school timetables and optimise student attention and concentration; Hoshino & Fabris 2020;Williams & Williams, 2011), rather than specifically to enhance program effectiveness.…”

Factors Contributing to the Efficacy of Universal Mental Health and Wellbeing Programs in Secondary Schools: A Systematic Review

2022

Differences in approaches used to deliver school-based mental health and wellbeing programs may be a key consideration for program effectiveness, yet this has not been considered in reviews and meta-analyses to date. Consistent with previous research, this systematic review of 47 studies found that wellbeing programs delivered in schools tended to show small effect sizes for mental health and wellbeing outcomes with effects often not sustained. The review considered the influence of various program factors on effectiveness, and consistent with previous findings, program-based factors like theoretical framework, program length, and session duration did not show reliable patterns for influencing effectiveness. In contrast, pedagogical factors aimed at increasing participant engagement (e.g., using student-centred and active learning approaches), appear more closely linked to improved mental health and wellbeing outcomes. This review has shown that universal programs can be effective in producing better mental health and wellbeing outcomes in secondary school settings when participant engagement is maximised.

“…Exact approaches have sometimes been incorporated into approximate solution approaches such as matheuristics (Méndez-Díaz et al, 2016). Constraint-based approaches have also been used for university timetabling problems (Müller and Murray, 2010;Hoshino and Fabris, 2020).…”

“…Thepphakorn and Pongcharoen (2020) proposed a hybrid cuckoo search approach to solve the course timetabling at the Faculty of Engineering, Naresuan University. Hoshino and Fabris (2020) used an ILP-based model to solve the PE-CTT at a Canadian high school. All these works consider SSP as a subproblem with variants depending on the institution's requirements.…”
