Teens help design mental health screening to reach diverse youth
NCT ID NCT06419595
First seen Sep 17, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Cambridge Health Alliance are adapting a mental health screening and support program for racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse youth aged 12 to 17 in the Denver Health area. The program includes screening, feedback, a single session intervention, and resource information. The study compares recruitment by a research coordinator versus recruitment by youth researchers called EYE for Prevention Youth Researchers. The goal is to see which approach engages more teens, especially those from minoritized groups, in mental health services.
