Summary

This trial will use digital mental health technologies to help improve engagement, assessment, detection, treatment, and delivery of services for pediatric mental health, specifically for underserved teens and their families.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for teens aged 13-17 with symptoms of anxiety disorder, who are getting care at certain Rush University Health System and University of Illinois at Chicago Pediatric Primary Care clinics. They must be able to speak and read English. Teens not meeting these criteria cannot participate.

What is being tested?

The study tests the TeACH System, a digital mental health technology designed for pediatric mental health care. It involves collaboration with teens and parents (Phase 1), refining the system with healthcare staff (Phase 2), and evaluating it in a randomized trial within primary care clinics (Phase 3).

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on digital technologies rather than medications, traditional side effects like those seen with drugs are not applicable. However, there may be non-medical concerns such as privacy issues or stress related to technology use.
