Summary

This study tests a new way of delivering mental health and addiction services to youth aged 14-17. Instead of standard hospital outpatient care, an integrated team offers rapid access to various services like therapy, peer support, and primary care in a youth-friendly setting. Researchers will compare this approach to usual treatment to see if it improves functioning, reduces substance use, and increases satisfaction.
