Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Adapted STAT-EDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The intervention will assist the family in following up with mental health referral recommendations provided by ED staff and eliciting families' preferences in regards to race and gender of providers, convenience of provider, and type of treatment. This assistance could involve help with the initial telephone contact, getting to appointments, and preparing for the appointments. The patient navigator will communicate with the family in person, by telephone, and/or by text messaging as per family's preference. This once to twice a week communication with both the youth and their parent will promote mental health care initiation and identify barriers and problem-solving solutions.

Group II: Standard Enhanced TreatmentActive Control1 Intervention

After discharge from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia emergency department, the participant will be given a list of resources and referrals for mental health treatment by the hospital social work team. Phone call contact will be made to follow up on the initiation of treatment from the referral recommendations given at discharge.
