title: Effectiveness of a brief stress management intervention in male college students.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study aimed to examine the effects of a brief stress management intervention on depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and aggression among Korean male college students.
  
  
  METHODS
  In a repeated measures design, participants were assessed before, immediately after, and 3 months after the intervention. Data of 40 experimental and 32 control participants were analyzed using linear mixed models.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were significant time-by-group interaction effects for depression and trait anxiety, but not for state anxiety, suicidal ideation, and aggression.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The intervention has long-term effects for depression and trait anxiety. Future research should involve a randomized controlled trial on a larger scale.
