Improving Student Mental Health: Adaptive School-based Implementation of CBT
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Stage 1 Strategy: REP, Stage 1 Strategy: REP + Coaching, and 2 other interventions for Depression and Anxiety. Completed, enrolled 1,329 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overarching goal of this study is to improve the delivery of an established, evidence-based intervention (cognitive-behavioral therapy-CBT) in Michigan schools through different implementation strategies designed to better educate school professionals. Specifically, the study will assist the ongoing Transforming Research into Action to Improve the Lives of Students (TRAILS) Program by evaluating different ways to educate school professionals (SPs) to improve their delivery of CBT to high school students and ultimately improve student mental health outcomes in the state of Michigan. The three educational approaches are Replicating Effective Programs (REP), Coaching, and Facilitation.
