NCT ID NCT07186335
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program that encourages general practitioners (family doctors) to stay involved when teenagers receive mental health care. Researchers will track whether the teen's doctor is contacted during treatment. The study includes 1,400 young people aged 11-25 in France. It aims to see if this approach improves communication between mental health services and primary care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that connecting teens with their regular doctor during mental health treatment improves continuity of care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It measures whether the GP is contacted, not whether mental health outcomes improve. Results may not apply outside France.
