About this study

In plain language

This study tests two ways to choose and adjust mental health care for East Los Angeles College students ages 18 to 40. Care may include self-guided online programs, coach-guided online therapy, or care from a clinician. Taking part lasts 40 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical decision-making algorithms for (a) triaging to level of care and (b) adapting level of care in a low income, highly diverse sample of community college students at East Los Angeles College (ELAC). The target enrollment is 200 participants per year, for five years (N=1000). Participants are between the ages of 18 and 40 years and will be randomized into either symptom severity decision-making (SSD) or data-driven decision-making (DDD). Participants in each condition will be triaged to one of three levels of care, including self-guided online prevention, coach-guided online cognitive behavioral therapy, and clinician-delivered care. After initial triaging, level of care will be adapted throughout the entire time of the study enrollment. Participants will complete computerized assessments and self-report questionnaires as part of the study. The total length of participation is 40 weeks.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
