Summary

This trial is studying two types of patient navigators to help reduce barriers to mental health care for African American and Latinx children in high poverty urban communities.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American and Latinx children aged 5-12 in high poverty urban areas, along with their caregivers. They must be new referrals on the waitlist for outpatient mental health services and screened as appropriate for services at participating community agencies.
What is being tested?
The study tests a mental health navigation model to reduce parental barriers to care. It compares paraprofessional navigators familiar with the community against formally trained case manager navigators, plus a control group on a waitlist.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves service-based interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be emotional or psychological impacts from participation that will be monitored.
