ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, called "By Youth, For Youth," is focused on helping Black and Latino young people aged 13 to 22 who are dealing with mental health challenges like anxiety and depression. The goal is to create a mobile app that connects these youth to mental health resources and support, especially in schools and clinics where they can easily access help. The app is being developed with input from the community to ensure it meets their needs, and it will be supported by friendly guides known as family and youth navigators who understand their cultural backgrounds.
To participate in this study, young people need to be between 13 and 22 years old and either enrolled in high school or visiting primary care clinics. Their caregivers can also be involved. While the study is not yet recruiting participants, those who join can expect to use the app to find mental health services and receive support tailored to their needs. This trial aims to address the gaps in mental health care for specific communities and ensure that all youth have access to the help they deserve.
