Dingle leads this interdisciplinary collaboration between students, researchers (UQ, Griffith University), staff of UQ Student Services, and GPs and other health professionals at UQ Health Centre. The package features co-designed materials to increase students' mental health literacy, offering a self-monitoring e-tool, and 6 short courses to improve health and self-care behaviours to prevent mental health problems and promote academic success.

Outputs: 4 scholarly papers, >20 honours theses, 2 PhD students theses in progress.

  • A community based social identity approach to loneliness

    Supported by an Australian Research Council linkage grant (2020-2023). Dingle led this longitudinal controlled evaluation of social prescribing for loneliness and social isolation in southeast QLD. We applied a social identity theoretical approach to understand the psychosocial processes that determine successful engagement into meaningful community-based groups. Outputs: Final technical report, 6 scholarly publications, 1 PhD completed.

  • Randomised controlled trial of Tuned In - a music based emotion regulation intervention

    Tuned In is a group emotion regulation intervention that uses participant selected music listening to evoke emotions in session. It has been evaluated with adolescents in mainstream schools, at risk adolescents in community services, and in international university students. Currently being evaluated in university students of all ages, including a 4-week follow up to find out what elements of the course students learn and apply.
