ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the personality traits and lifestyles of young people aged 13 to 21 who visit psychiatric outpatient clinics. The goal is to understand the types of struggles these adolescents face and what they hope to achieve from their visits. By gathering this information, the researchers aim to improve the mental health services offered to them, ensuring that care is more tailored to their needs.

To participate in this study, young people must be between 13 and 21 years old and able to give their consent to join. Unfortunately, those who cannot understand or complete the questionnaire due to language barriers or cognitive challenges won't be included. Participants can expect to share their experiences and feelings, which will help healthcare providers better support young people dealing with mental health issues. It's important to note that the study is not yet recruiting participants, so it will be a little while before it starts.
