Detailní popis
Fostering emotional and behavioral well-being is critical to school success, and research shows that over 70% of all mental health treatment for children is delivered in schools. Thus, school mental health (SMH) services are a fundamental component of our nation's strategy to ensure academic and life success of our children and youth. Unfortunately, SMH providers rarely use evidence-based approaches and are often poorly integrated into the school context. SMH providers carry large caseloads, experience time constraints, and serve youth with a broad array of needs. For SMH to live up to its potential, individuals who provide SMH treatment must be equipped with effective and efficient ways to address student emotional and behavioral needs.
The purpose of this project is to conduct a multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Brief Intervention Strategy for School Clinicians (BRISC). BRISC is a fully developed, manualized intervention strategy for use by professionals working individually with high school students experiencing mental health symptoms or other emotional and behavioral stressors that negatively affect their ability to succeed academically. With funding from an IES Development and Innovation grant (R305A120128), BRISC was developed as a brief, evidence-based, and flexible "Tier 2" intervention designed to fit the high school context. Findings from a small (N=66) comparison study indicate positive, small to large sized effects (ES = .30 - 1.33) in favor of BRISC over SMH services as usual (SAU) for a range of short and longer-term outcomes (see Section A9). The study also found high clinician fidelity to BRISC, increased clinician use of evidence-based strategies, high ratings of feasibility, and very low ratings of research burden. Moreover, even though the majority of students who were referred to BRISC were in the clinical range for functional impairment due to MH problems, over 50% were able to step down to lower levels of intervention after four sessions of BRISC, demonstrating promise for efficiency and reach. The current study aims to further examine the efficacy of BRISC, the mediators and moderators that may further influence its development, and to illuminate how and under what conditions BRISC is effective. A cluster randomized design has been used to assign 52 schools in Washington, Minnesota, and Maryland to BRISC or SAU (520 students total; 260 per group).
This efficacy project has six research aims:
- To test the effects of BRISC on hypothesized short-term service outcomes such as clinician use of evidence-based strategies and standardized assessment data, therapeutic alliance, student service satisfaction, retention in services, and service referrals.
- To test the effects of BRISC on hypothesized short-term student outcomes, such as problem-solving, coping skills, school engagement, school attendance, and homework completion.
- To test the effects of BRISC on longer-term outcomes such as MH symptoms, emotional/behavioral functioning, peer/family relations, discipline problems at school, and academic performance.
- To examine the impact of BRISC on treatment efficiency, in terms of trajectory of student change in outcomes over time.
- To confirm that BRISC is perceived as an appropriate, feasible, and acceptable intervention for use by SMH clinicians working in a diverse array of high schools.
- To examine hypothesized moderators and mediators of outcomes, including service factors (e.g., fidelity, service dosage/duration, clinician orientation, receipt of other services), student factors (e.g., age, gender, problem type and severity), and proximal outcomes (e.g., problem-solving skills, coping strategies, school engagement).

Popis
Clinicians
Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:
- SMH clinicians with previous BRISC exposure

Exclusion Criteria:

Experimentální: Intervention (BRISC) Group
Clinicians randomly assigned to BRISC will implement a flexible intervention that, over four sessions, aims to assess and engage student clients, and identify and address student identified difficulties that are distressing and impacting academic performance/behavior, social, and overall functioning.
BRISC uses an explicit, problem-solving structure and a range of techniques common to evidence-based practices (EBP) tailored to the identified needs of the student.

|
Aktivní komparátor: Services as Usual (SAU) Group
Clinicians in the SAU condition will use a diverse array of "treatment as usual" strategies over four sessions that may include some directive, skill-building techniques common in EBPs, but, given findings from pilot studies and studies of mental health services "as usual" in community and school settings, are likely to be provided at an overall lower rate, and at lower intensity, than in BRISC or other EBP.
