Study Summary

This trial will compare two versions of a multisession remote behavioral intervention for young people who have been injured in violence, in order to determine which is more effective in reducing violence involvement and associated negative behaviors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young people aged 14-24 who have been treated in the emergency department for a violent injury and own a smartphone. They must understand English and be able to consent. Those with mental incompetence, without a guardian if under 18, or involved in certain crimes like sexual assault are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two remote therapy interventions aimed at reducing violence among adolescents: one standard version (S-RTI) and another enhanced by Artificial Intelligence (AI-RTI). It's set up as a randomized control trial where participants are randomly assigned to either intervention.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience discomfort discussing personal issues or stress from engaging with the intervention content.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Remote Therapy InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Youth will receive the maximal dose of six S-RTI therapy sessions delivered by a remote therapist with no alteration in intensity
Group II: Artificial Intelligence Remote Therapy InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Youth will first receive a remote therapy session in the Emergency Department (ED). The RL system will then make decisions about the intensity of each subsequent therapy session (the initial decision is seven days post ED visit and bi-weekly [i.e., every other two weeks] thereafter) for the next 11 weeks. Potential treatment decisions include a 30-minute remote therapy session delivered via phone or video chat (mirroring the S-RTI), a less intensive tailored Motivational Interviewing (MI)-adherent electronic remote therapy (delivered by an electronic robot), or an assessment only without intervention.
Group III: Enhanced Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
The youth's retaliatory risk will be assessed and a pamphlet with referrals for violence, substance use, and mental health services will be provided.
