About this study

In plain language

This study tests personalized online ways to help young people seek mental health care and start treatment sooner. It is for youth ages 12–29 who may be at risk for psychosis, a condition that can make it hard to tell what is real. It also studies how well an online screening tool finds people at risk.

This proposal aims to establish a Digital Laboratory focused on advancing help-seeking and expediting treatment initiation in youth ages 12-29 who are at Clinical High-Risk (CHR) for developing psychosis. Leveraging the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model, this study will identify help-seeking subtypes in 25,000 youth who screen positive for psychosis-risk on Mental Health America's national online screening platform, iteratively develop and test theory and data-driven, personalized strategies to advance help-seeking using Micro-Randomized Trials and a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial, identify the most accurate CHR screening threshold in an online environment, and link youth, when indicated, to local clinical care via Accelerating Medicines Partnership - Schizophrenia (AMP-SCZ), a NIH funded national network of CHR programs throughout the US. This academic-industry partnership aims to curate one of the largest datasets of youth with CHR, and to develop effective strategies to enhance early help-seeking, in a population where help-seeking is critical and a significant barrier to care.

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