E-IMPACTS Trial Summary

This trial will test how training & support affects how school staff understand & respond to mental & behavioral health needs of middle schoolers. Standard onboarding/training and professional learning communities/coaching will be compared. #mentalhealth

Who is the study for?

This trial is for middle school students and staff in public schools that include grades 6-8, located in rural areas, towns, and small suburbs or cities. Schools planning to implement the Early Identification System (EIS) for mental health can participate unless they've used EIS before or had less than a 70% response rate on pre-intervention implementation.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how different training supports affect school staff's ability to address middle schoolers' mental health needs using EIS. One group receives standard training while another gets additional support through professional learning communities and coaching.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no traditional side effects. However, changes in school environment or stress levels among staff and students could potentially occur.

EIS + ECHO (experimental) condition involves all of the activities included in the "EIS Only" condition and will include enhanced implementation supports. Enhanced implementation supports involve 1) monthly collaborative learning ECHO sessions for school student support team staff to support implementation of EIS and evidence-based mental and behavioral health practices and 2) individual school teams will also receive follow-up supports to promote the implementation strategies presented during ECHO sessions.

Group II: EIS OnlyActive Control1 Intervention

EIS Only (active comparator) condition schools involve technical assistance to support the implementation EIS.
