Study Summary

This trial will test whether the Team-initiated Problem Solving approach can help improve school climate and also address students' mental health needs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Philadelphia schools using PBIS, their staff involved in PBIS leadership or Tier 2 interventions, and students in grades 4-8 eligible for PBIS with certain emotional or behavioral difficulties. Schools not implementing PBIS at Tier 1, unrelated personnel, and students with intellectual disabilities or specific disorders are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of school-based mental health supports by comparing two groups: one receives coaching support from CHOP Research Consultants while the other does not. The goal is to see if this improves school climate and student mental health.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational and behavioral interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be indirect impacts on school climate or individual student behavior that will be monitored.
