Implementation Supports for Improving Identification and Delivery of School-based Mental Health Supports for Middle Schools Students (NCT06047041)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will assess how different types of training and support influence the way that school staff understand, and respond to, the mental and behavioral health needs of middle school students. Researchers will work with middle schools using a developed screening system (called the Early Identification System; EIS) and compare how staff and student outcomes change when schools receive two different types of training and support: 1) standard onboarding/training versus 2) participating in professional learning communities and coaching.
