ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on helping young people, ages 13 to 26, who are at high risk of developing psychosis, which is a serious mental health condition that can affect how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. The goal is to create a Digital Laboratory that will make it easier for these young individuals to seek help and start treatment earlier. Researchers will study a large group of about 25,000 youth who may be at risk and will develop personalized strategies to encourage them to reach out for care. They will also work to improve online screening tools so that it's easier to identify those who need help and connect them with local mental health services.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 13 and 26 years old, live within 50 miles of a participating site in the U.S., and be able to complete a specific online screening in English. While the study is not yet recruiting participants, those who take part can expect to contribute to important research that aims to make mental health support more accessible for young people facing challenges. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a project that could help many others in the future.
