Summary
This study tested a program called COPE2Thrive, which uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help teens manage anxiety, stress, and depression. It was offered in school-based clinics to high school students from diverse communities. The goal was to see if this approach could improve early identification and support for mental health issues. The study included 39 teens and used computerized adaptive testing to measure symptoms.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help schools better identify and support teens at risk for mental health issues, especially in underserved communities.
