Summary

This study aims to reduce racial disparities in child mental health care by examining the impact of a child behavioral health navigator (cbhNs) intervention in which cbhNs (n=15) will be trained to deliver an evidence-based family engagement, psychoeducation and support intervention to 390 early adolescent youth (10 to 14 years) and their families of African descent living in geographically defined St. Louis north city and county neighborhoods.

Conditions

  • Disruptive Behavior Disorder

Interventions

OTHER

Standard Care

Standard care will consist of 1) community-based screening and referral conducted by HomeGrown St. Louis (HomeGrown StL) network members and supported by HomeGrown StL coordinator; and 2) monthly contacts by a case manager, who will track attendance in mental health services and provide referrals upon request.

OTHER

Child Behavioral Health Navigator (cbhN)

CbhNs will engage in a series of contacts in person and by phone/text to coordinate needed appointments at mental health care sites, as well as a range of human service support organizations (e.g. housing, food, financial, legal assistance). Over time, contact may decrease as the youth/family make ongoing connection with mental health care and other resources. However, over the course of the study (twelve months), twice per month check-ins will be routine between cbhNs and families. In addition, the cbhN will be expected to actively engage with the range of service providers and mental health resources as needed and preferred by the family. These contacts include telephone linkage calls, in-person advocacy meetings and at time, accompanying the youth and families to meetings at each organization.
