First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app, co-created with teens, plus trained peer navigators can help more young people ages 13-22 get mental health care in schools and clinics. Over 8,000 youth will take part across multiple sites. The goal is to see if this approach increases the number of youth who start treatment after being referred.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that combining a co-designed app with peer navigators helps more young people start mental health care.
