NCT ID NCT06515236
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new method called Strategic Treatment Assessment for Youth (STAY) designed to help racial and ethnic minority teens with depression or suicidal thoughts stay in therapy. Researchers will compare STAY to standard care in 140 teens aged 12-18 across three community clinics. The goal is to see if culturally tailored measurement-based care improves treatment retention and reduces symptoms.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more minority teens stay in mental health treatment and improve their depression and suicide risk outcomes.

This is a small pilot study with only 140 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.
