Data Sheet 1_Improving mental health outcomes through online brain health training in adul

A 2026 quasi-experimental study by Sarah A. Laane on figshare, analyzing data from 370 matched adults (185 with and 185 without mental illness) who underwent 6 months of online brain health training. The dataset likely contains pre- and post-intervention measures of psychological distress, resilience, quality of life, engagement in meaningful activities, and a composite cognitive clarity score.

Use Cases

• Comparing baseline mental health and cognitive function between adults with and without mental illness based on the described outcome measures.
• Evaluating the impact of a 6-month online brain health training program on psychological distress and resilience.
• Analyzing associations between changes in cognitive clarity and improvements in mental health outcomes over time.
• Assessing the differential effects of the training on participants with and without a mental illness diagnosis.

Strengths

• Includes a matched sample of 370 participants, providing a balanced comparison between groups with and without mental illness.
• Measures multiple validated outcomes: psychological distress, resilience, quality of life, engagement in meaningful activities, and a composite cognitive score.
• Study design includes a 6-month longitudinal follow-up to assess changes over time.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 301.2 KB file size suggests a limited scope, likely containing summary results rather than raw participant-level data.
