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

Summary

This study developed and tested an online training program for mental health providers to improve how they work with youth ages 12-25, especially those from groups that often face barriers to good care. The training was created with input from young people, their parents, and providers. The study involved 286 participants and focused on whether the training was practical and acceptable, not yet on whether it improves mental health outcomes.
