Study Summary

This trial will evaluate an enhanced version of the Interconnected Systems Framework to see if it improves team functioning, use of evidence-based practices, and student emotional, behavioral, and academic functioning.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for 3rd-grade students from certain North Carolina and South Carolina elementary schools that serve K-5. Schools must have similar sociodemographic characteristics, agree to participate, and already implement PBIS with fidelity. Children with moderate or severe intellectual disabilities or those who opt-out are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an enhanced Interconnected Systems Framework (ISFE) in elementary schools to improve team functioning and student support services, aiming to boost kids' social, emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes. It builds on a model integrating Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports with school mental health efforts.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves educational and behavioral strategies rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be unintended consequences such as increased stress or resistance among staff implementing new practices.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Enhanced version of Interconnected Systems Framework (ISFE)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

The ISFE addresses limitations of positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) and school mental health (SMH) and improves the quality of services within the three tiers of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) by providing specific guidance on their systematic interconnection. Meaningful interconnection requires effective interdisciplinary collaboration, well-functioning teams, data-based decision making, and effective selection and implementation of evidence-based practices. The original interconnected systems framework (ISF) capitalizes on PBIS' strong implementation infrastructure and universal prevention strategies and combines these elements with SMH enhancements to Tiers 2 and 3 to achieve a comprehensive continuum of evidence-based practices. The ISFE leverages the strengths of PBIS and SMH to create one integrated system of care that achieves synergy and economies of scale.

Group II: Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports with Co-located School Mental Health (PBIS+SMH)Active Control1 Intervention

Mental health clinicians will be assigned and can work with MTSS teams (or not). Otherwise, there will be no special guidance. We expect this condition to mimic typical practices in schools, where PBIS and SMH efforts are co-located, but not meaningfully interconnected. In other words, we expect parallel functioning (Splett et al., 2014).
