ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding the mental health of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 16 who are receiving support from specific educational and therapeutic facilities in France. The goal is to find out how common different mental health disorders are among these young people. Researchers want to gather important information that can help improve care and support for adolescents facing mental health challenges.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be aged 12 to 16 and have been in a special educational or therapeutic program for at least 15 days. It's also important that both the young person and at least one parent or guardian understand the study information and agree to participate. If someone decides to join the study, they will likely meet with the research team to discuss their experiences and provide insights about their mental health. This trial is still in the planning stages and has not yet started recruiting participants, but it aims to shed light on the mental health of young individuals in these supportive environments.
