Abstract

This study investigated the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on specific mental health disorders among in-school adolescents in Taraba State, Nigeria. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The population comprised 200,382 in-school adolescents across 380 public secondary schools in the state. A sample of 248 adolescents from two schools was selected for the study. Data were collected using a self-structured instrument, the “Mental Health Disorder Questionnaire (MHDQ).” Analysis involved mean and standard deviation for the research questions and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) for the hypotheses. The findings revealed significant post-test differences between the experimental and control groups. The experimental group exhibited a significant reduction in symptoms of substance use disorders and a lower prevalence of eating disorders compared to the control group. The study concluded that CBT is an effective intervention for reducing these mental health disorders. Recommendations include implementing school-based CBT programs by substance abuse counsellors to address triggers and coping mechanisms, and for health coordinators to promote CBT sessions that challenge cognitive distortions related to body image to foster positive eating habits.

Abstract

This study investigated the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on mental health disorders among in-school adolescents in Taraba State, Nigeria. The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design, guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The population consisted of 200,382 in-school adolescents across the state. A sample of 248 students from two secondary schools was selected for the study. The instrument used for data collection was a self-structured questionnaire known as the Mental Health Disorder Questionnaire (MHDQ). Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions, while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses. The findings revealed significant differences between the experimental and control groups on post-test measures. Specifically, the experimental subjects who received CBT showed a significant improvement in symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and a marked decrease in examination phobia compared to the control group. Based on these findings, the study concluded that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an effective intervention for reducing mental health disorders among in-school adolescents in this context. Consequently, it was recommended that teachers and counsellors integrate CBT-based behavioural management strategies into classroom practices and that schools organize targeted workshops to help students manage examination anxiety.
