Study Summary

This trial is investigating whether a new training program for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) can help reduce posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSI).

Who is the study for?

This trial is specifically for cadets beginning the RCMP Cadet Training Program. It aims to study mental health risk and resilience factors related to traumatic stress. Only these cadets can participate, excluding anyone else not starting this program.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests Emotional Resilience Skills Training (ERST) against Active Monitoring in new RCMP cadets. They'll be assessed before and after training, then annually for five years, plus with monthly and daily surveys to measure mental health outcomes.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve skills training and monitoring rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not expected; however, participants may experience emotional discomfort or stress during the process.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Augmented Training Condition (ATC)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

The Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) is an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to cultivate constructive approach-oriented emotional engagement. The 13-week Emotional Resilience Training (ERST) is an adaptation of the UP designed for use as a proactive training course. The ERST frames emotional experiences as natural responses to threat, rather than pathological occurrences to avoid; as such, the ERST is well-suited for mitigating health challenges and the skills may also help PSP to support persons in distress, including other PSP and the community members they all serve. The ERST training materials include an instructor guide, didactic PowerPoints, and a trainee workbook. The ERST was designed for seamless integration with the Cadet Training Program, effective June 2022, which is what creates the augmented training arm (i.e., the ATC).

Group II: Standard Training Condition (STC)Active Control1 Intervention

The STC has received the "standard" RCMP Depot Division ("Depot") Cadet Training Program as has been provided to cadets prior to June 2022. The STC and the ATC will complete the same standardized self-report assessments, clinical interview assessments, and biometric assessments, and receive the same feedback and reporting based on those assessments.
