What is being tested?
The study is testing two different ways of treating young people's mental health issues. It focuses on how care changes when clinicians use regular measurements to guide treatment decisions, known as Measurement-Based Care (MBC).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like assessments and therapy adjustments rather than drugs, typical medication side effects aren't expected. However, discussing mental health can sometimes cause emotional discomfort.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Unidimensional Measurement-Based CareExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Youth and caregivers will complete a symptom rating scale every session. Clinicians will receive feedback reports summarizing these data, including alerts indicating if the youth is on track for positive treatment outcomes. These feedback reports will be used to support clinical decision-making.
Group II: Multidimensional Measurement-Based CareExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Youth and caregivers will complete battery of questionnaires covering multiple process and outcome domains every session. Clinicians will receive feedback reports summarizing these data, including alerts indicating if the youth is on track for positive treatment outcomes. These feedback reports will be used to support clinical decision-making.
