First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a web-based tool called ORCA-A that helps state decision-makers choose the best evidence-based programs to support parent and child mental health. Researchers will work with 80 adults involved in state-level decisions under the Family First Prevention Services Act. The goal is to see if the tool improves decision quality, commitment, and program fit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ORCA-A (Optimizing Responses with Collaborative Assessments-Automated) behavioral decision-support tool

What this could lead to

If successful, this tool could help state leaders make better, more informed decisions about which mental health programs to fund, potentially improving outcomes for families.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study (80 people) testing a tool, not a treatment. It measures decision quality, not health outcomes, so real-world impact is uncertain.
