What is being tested?
The study is testing two methods: one group will receive a basic mental health screening, while another group gets an enhanced screening process. The goal is to see which method leads to better access and use of mental health services.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like screenings, there aren't typical medical side effects. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or stress during the mental health evaluation process.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Mean change from baseline in student referral to a mental health intervention as measured by the number of students referred to mental health interventions each quarter
Secondary outcome measures
Mean change from baseline in student disciplinary encounters as measured by the number of Office Discipline Referrals each quarter

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: EnhancedExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The enhanced arm involves the enhancements to school-based mental health (SBMH) of the comparator arm with the addition of 3 additional empirically supported enhancements to mental health screening: 1) voluntary school teams will review screening and service receipt data disaggregated by racial/ethnic subgroups to identify and problem solve inequities; 2) Unintentional bias training for voluntary school teams, involving teaching participants to conceptualize prejudice as well as strategies to reduce bias; and 3) Mental Health Literacy training for voluntary school teams in awareness and understanding of students' mental health well-being and need for intervention.
Group II: ComparatorActive Control1 Intervention
The comparator arm enhances school-based mental health (SBMH) with universal screening and trains voluntary school teams to use the school-wide data to plan and make intervention referrals using an evidence-based in-service training and coaching model called Team-Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS).
