Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

This proposal aims to establish a Digital Laboratory focused on advancing help-seeking and expediting treatment initiation in youth ages 12-29 who are at Clinical High-Risk (CHR) for developing psychosis. Leveraging the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model, this study will identify help-seeking subtypes in 25,000 youth who screen positive for psychosis-risk on Mental Health America's national online screening platform, iteratively develop and test theory and data-driven, personalized strategies to advance help-seeking using Micro-Randomized Trials and a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial, identify the most accurate CHR screening threshold in an online environment, and link youth, when indicated, to local clinical care via Accelerating Medicines Partnership - Schizophrenia (AMP-SCZ), a NIH funded national network of CHR programs throughout the US. This academic-industry partnership aims to curate one of the largest datasets of youth with CHR, and to develop effective strategies to enhance early help-seeking, in a population where help-seeking is critical and a significant barrier to care.
