ACT Intervention Programs for Youth Mental Health in Education, 2014-2023

Twenty-six studies published between 2014 and 2023 were reviewed, characterizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based programs to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress in educational contexts. The dataset, created by John Alexander Pedraza Palacios and last updated in May 2026, originates from a scoping review of programs implemented in the United States, Australia, Finland, and Canada. It likely contains details on program formats, modalities, and the specific ACT components addressed.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the distribution of ACT program formats (websites, mobile apps, in-person/virtual sessions) across different countries.
• Comparing the effectiveness of group versus individual intervention modalities based on reported outcomes.
• Mapping the frequency of specific ACT components (acceptance, cognitive defusion, values) addressed in educational programs.
• Identifying research gaps for optimizing the implementation of ACT in student well-being initiatives.

Strengths

• Explicitly covers 26 studies from a defined 2014-2023 time range.
• Includes geographic coverage from the United States, Australia, Finland, and Canada.
• Documents a variety of program formats and modalities as described in the review.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 9.5 KB file size suggests a very limited scope, likely containing summary metadata rather than raw study data.
