Homelessness severely affects health and well-being and is particularly negative for youth. Between 70-95% of youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) report problem substance use and 66-89% have a mental health disorder. Youth appear to be at greater risk for living on the streets or being homeless than adults and are more vulnerable to long term consequences of homelessness. Multiple social determinants of health (SDOH) are uniquely associated with homelessness, driving substance use and adverse mental health consequences. However, limited research has identified pragmatic interventions that have a long-term ameliorating impact on the complex, multi-symptomatic issues among these youth. This study overcomes prior gaps in research through testing a multi-component comprehensive prevention intervention targeting SDOH that may affect biopsychosocial health indicators and longer-term health outcomes. In partnership with a drop-in center for YEH, youth between the ages of 14 to 24 years, will be engaged and randomly assigned to conditions using a dismantling design so that essential intervention components can be efficiently identified. In particular, youth (N = 300) will be randomly assigned to a) Motivational Interviewing/Community Reinforcement Approach + Services as Usual (MI/CRA + SAU, n = 80), b) Strengths-Based Outreach and Advocacy + Services As Usual (SBOA + SAU, n = 80), c) MI/CRA + SBOA + SAU (n = 80) or d) SAU (n=60) through the drop-in center. In order to assess the longer-term prevention effects on substance use, mental health and other outcomes, all youth will be assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24-months post-baseline. The primary goal of this study is to establish the impact of a comprehensive intervention embedded within a system that serves YEH, a community drop-in center, on youth's opioid misuse and disorder, other substance misuse and disorders, mental health diagnoses, and other targeted outcomes. This study will offer unique information on the physiological and psychological stress pathways underlying change for specific subgroups of youth along with cost estimates to inform future implementation efforts in drop-in centers around the country.

Babies with single ventricle congenital heart disease (SVCHD) are often diagnosed during pregnancy. While prenatal diagnosis has important clinical benefits, it is often stressful and overwhelming for parents, and many express a need for psychological support. HeartGPS is a psychological intervention for parents who receive their baby's diagnosis of SVCHD during pregnancy. It includes 8 sessions with a psychologist, coupled with tailored educational resources, and a personalized care plan. The intervention focuses on fostering parent psychological adjustment and wellbeing, and supporting parents to bond with their baby in ways that feel right for them. Through this study, the investigators will learn if HeartGPS is useful and effective for parents and their babies when it is offered in addition to usual fetal cardiac care. The investigators will examine the effects of the HeartGPS intervention on parental anxiety, depression, and traumatic stress; fetal and infant brain development; parent-infant bonding; and infant neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental outcomes. The investigators will also explore mechanisms associated with stress biology during pregnancy, infant brain development and neurodevelopmental outcomes, and parent and infant intervention effects.

Digital Intervention for Suicide Prevention
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Despite efforts to prevent suicide, US rates are climbing, and suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst youth. Digital tools, especially personal smartphones, are promising avenues to address these issues and can be used to increase engagement with effective interventions such as suicide safety planning. The BRITE suicide safety planning app was developed on evidence-based principles and has undergone rigorous formative development and effectiveness evaluations. However, to optimize its functionality, commercial viability, and scale its implementation, issues related to user engagement need to be addressed. This 4-week Micro-Randomized Trial (MRT) will optimize specific components of ViraBrite, an augmented version of the BRITE suicide safety planning app that integrates automated algorithms (i.e., just in time adaptive intervention features) to facilitate increased engagement with coping skills and pushes safety planning materials to users at periods of high risk (i.e., increases in emotional distress).

Mental Health Support Program for Depression and Anxiety
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Large-scale, effective, low-cost, and evidence-based programs that can nimbly translate new research discoveries into prevention and care for psychosocial-based problems are urgently needed since the vast majority of people who need evidence-based care do not receive it.
The purpose of this randomized control trial is to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of a Mood Lifters group template specifically for undergraduate students. Mood Lifters is an effective peer-led program that improves or maintains mental health. It seeks to help people enhance pleasure, engagement, and meaning in their lives while minimizing depression, fear, loneliness, and other negative feelings via a proprietary peer-based program that offers weekly meetings and other flexible support options. One obstacle to providing mental health care in the US is that it is costly to provide one-on-one therapy by a licensed professional. This is particularly true in large group settings with limited resources (counseling centers) and a large need for mental health care, like universities.

Kids' Empowerment Program for Childhood Mental Disorders
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Depression and anxiety are major challenges to American children's optimal mental health, with already high rates exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet help is beyond reach for many children who do not have access to care for reasons including a severely depleted cadre of professionally trained service providers, fear of stigma that goes along with a diagnosis, low access to clinics, and lack of insurance. Without help their problems will likely accelerate and become more deleterious to their development as adolescents and young adults. The current study aims to address the lack of care by providing a program in school classrooms that will reduce children's symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as enhance their emotion regulation and coping skills. The mental health and adjustment of two groups of children are compared and evaluated at twelve week intervals in this clinical trial - those who first participate in the Kids' Empowerment Program (KEP) and a comparison group that participates in the program after the second evaluation. Once proven to be successful, the ultimate goal of the project is to disseminate the program throughout the State of Michigan and beyond, thereby providing children with tools that will empower them to be successful in managing emotional challenges throughout their life.

Family Spirit Programs for Mental Health Issues
Pokagon, Michigan
This project addresses the disproportionate morbidity and mortality associated with mental and behavioral health problems in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Access to culturally competent and effective behavioral health services is limited in many of these communities. The investigators aim to address this gap by testing the effectiveness of a trans-diagnostic secondary prevention program, Family Spirit Strengths (FSS) that can be embedded within home visiting services. The FSS program is a skills-based program that incorporates elements of evidence-based practice, the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA), and materials informed and developed based on an Indigenous advisory group. The FSS program aims to help participants build self-efficacy and coping skills, as well as build stronger connections to others, the participants' community, and cultural resources. The investigators will use a randomized controlled trial, whereby half of the participants will receive FSS and the other half will receive an evidence-based nutrition education program. The investigators' study is grounded in participatory processes and led by a team of Indigenous and allied researchers.

This study has been designed to conduct a pilot evaluation of a novel model of support aimed at promoting community integration (CI) following homelessness. This model is called the Peer to Community Model (P2C). The P2C model is an outreach peer support model aimed at facilitating CI for individuals living with concurrent disorders following homelessness. This approach uses relationship-building and engagement in meaningful activity facilitated by peer support specialists (PSS) in concert with occupational therapy (OT) and social work (SW) consultation. This model includes four distinct components: 1) peer support delivered in a community space dedicated to the program or community locations at a maximum ratio of 10:1; 2) OT and SW offering consultation to PSSs and service users; 3) a weekly support meeting for PSSs, OT and SW aimed at providing a venue for problem-solving through complex cases and providing mutual emotional support in the context of service delivery with a complex population; and 4) opportunities for social enterprise (developing ideas for income generation) within the community space.
\*\*\*NOTE: This is a single model of support that includes the components identified above - these are not separate interventions, but various components of one intervention designed in previous research by the study team.
In this clinical trial, the investigators will implement the P2C model for the first time. The study team will conduct a pilot study using an open randomized controlled trial, crossover design. A total of 20 participants will be assigned randomly to the intervention group, where they will receive P2C supports at baseline, and 20 participants will be assigned to a waitlist condition for six months, after which time, they will be offered the P2C intervention. Participants will be interviewed at baseline and every three months using mixed (qualitative and quantitative) interviews. Waitlisted participants will be interviewed during these same intervals using the same interview protocols, and while waiting, will receive care as usual.

Digital Mental Health Technologies for Pediatric Mental Health
Chicago, Illinois
The goal of this study is to use and adapt existing digital mental health technologies to advance the engagement, assessment, detection, treatment, and delivery of services for pediatric mental health. Specifically, user-centered design methodologies and an implementation science framework will be used to guide the development and implementation of the Teen Assess, Check, and Heal (TeACH) System into a pediatric primary care clinic serving teens and families from underserved communities.
Study objectives include:
1. Collaborating with underserved teens and their parents to identify strategies to target top barriers to engagement as well as top ethical concerns and requirements for cultural relevance, usability, and usefulness of the TeACH System (Phase 1)
2. Refining the plan for implementing the TeACH System through observations, interviews, and co-design workshops with pediatric primary care pediatricians and staff (Phase 2), and
3. Implementing the TeACH System into a primary care clinics and evaluating it in a randomized trial. (Phase 3)
The team will measure engagement outcomes and satisfaction with the TeACH System.

Supportive Services for Substance Use Disorders
Chicago, Illinois
The Supportive Release Center (SRC) is a collaboration between the University of Chicago Urban Health Lab, Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, Heartland Alliance Health, and the Cook County Sheriff's office. The aim of the SRC is to identify individuals with mental illnesses, substance use disorders, and other vulnerabilities as they are released from the Cook County Jail (CCJ), provide an improved environment to assess needs of these individuals, and facilitate effective linkages with social services following release, including medical care and substance use or mental health treatment. The SRC improves the current standard of care offered at the CCJ by introducing mechanisms to facilitate engagement with post-release services and address individuals' immediate acute needs. The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of assignment to the SRC on the number of arrests within one year of study enrollment among eligible men being released from the Cook County Jail. Researchers hypothesize that the SRC is more effective than usual care at facilitating and ensuring receipt of transition services and care, and that receipt of this treatment will decrease the number of arrests within one year of study enrollment.

Sertraline for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
Charlottesville, Virginia
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe affective disorder impacting millions of women worldwide, thought to be due to altered sensitivity to hormone fluctuations across the menstrual cycle. Neuroactive steroid hormones (NAS) and the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-A receptor (GABAAR) are thought to play a role in PMDD. This research will assess the blood levels of GABAergic NAS, expression of associated enzymes, and expression of GABAAR subunits across the premenstrual (luteal) phase of the menstrual cycle in healthy controls and individuals with PMDD. Within the PMDD group, the investigators will assess how these measures are affected by a low-dose antidepressant medication versus placebo. The results will provide a comprehensive view of the changes in these systems across the menstrual cycle and will add to the investigator's understanding of the mechanisms that underlie PMDD, as well as therapeutic mechanisms of PMDD treatment.

Peer Navigation for Psychiatric Disabilities
Chicago, Illinois
Adults with psychiatric disabilities get sick and die 20 to 30 years younger than same-age peers, with even greater disparities occurring when the person is from a low SES or of color. Factors explaining this difference are complex and include genetic comorbidity, iatrogenic effects of medication, life choices, and life consequences. These factors are worsened by service disparities which are often fragmented in the public health system.
Peer navigators are part of a program in which providers escort people with psychiatric disabilities around the fragmented system to meet their health and wellness goals, often a demanding task for the person who has needs addressed at clinics, labs, and pharmacies spread across an urban area. Navigators are peers because they have lived experience of recovery and are often from similar ethnic groups. A community-based participatory research program supported by NIMHD and PCORI developed a peer navigator program specific to the needs of people with psychiatric disabilities. Results of two small pilots funded by NIMHD and PCORI showed the Peer Navigator Program (PNP) led to significant improved service engagement which corresponded with better health, recovery, and quality of life. The studies included fidelity measurement which showed peer navigators conducting the intervention at high levels of fidelity.
The current research is an efficacy study with a more fully powered test of PNP versus treatment as usual, which is integrated care (TAU-IC). The investigators aim to recruit 300 adults with psychiatric disability who wish to improve physical health/wellness through peer health navigation randomized to TAU-IC or TAU-IC plus PNP. Individuals will participate in assigned interventions as part of 8-month cohorts with data being obtained at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 months. Data will include personal descriptors (demographics, diagnosis, life consequences report), outcomes (service engagement, physical symptoms, blood pressure, recovery, and quality of life), mediators (personal empowerment, self-determination, and perceived relationship for recovery), and process measures (fidelity, feasibility, and acceptability). Investigators hypothesize that those in PNP intervention will have improved outcomes over the integrated care as usual. A cost-benefit analysis will seek to model impact based on quality-adjusted life years. Larger effect sizes will permit post hoc identification of how PNP effects vary by participant characteristics such as ethnicity and gender.

Brief Behavioral Activation Treatment for Postpartum Depression
Evanston, Illinois
SUMMIT's (Scaling Up Maternal Mental health care by Increasing access to Treatment) overarching goal is to examine the scalability and patient-centered provision of brief, evidence-based psychological treatments for perinatal depression and anxiety (N=1226). Specifically, and through a multi-site, randomized, pragmatic trial, the trial examines whether a brief, behavioral activation (BA) treatment delivered via telemedicine is as effective as the same treatment delivered in person; and whether BA delivered by non-mental health providers (e.g., nurses), with appropriate training is as effective as when delivered by specialist providers (psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers) in reducing perinatal depressive and anxiety symptoms. The study will be conducted in Toronto, NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston and surrounding areas including Chicago, and North Carolina. The trial will also identify relevant underlying implementation processes and determine whether, and to what extent, these strategies work differentially for certain women over others.

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Mental Health Disorder clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Mental Health Disorder trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Mental Health Disorder is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Mental Health Disorder medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
