Tests treatment safety and results for Mental Health Disorder
Official title Efficacy of the I-CARE Digital Health Intervention
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07150832
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- When presenting to an ED with suicide, self-harm or other mental health crises, youth may also experience "boarding", which is defined by the Joint Commission as "the practice of holding patients in the ED or another temporary location after the decision to admit or transfer has been made." A recent national survey of 88 US acute care hospitals conducted by our research team found that 98.9% of hospitals were boarding youth awaiting psychiatric hospitalization, for an average of 2-3 days. However, as illustrated in a systemic review, little research has focused on developing interventions to support youth during this highly vulnerable time.
