Summary

The proposed research project provides a novel approach to screening, early assessment, and preventive interventions for high-risk youth in racial/ethnic/linguistically (REL)-diverse communities.

* The investigators assess a health promotion intervention as a way of reducing treatment disparities in REL-minority youth. This population is underrepresented in child psychiatry research. It is often excluded from clinical trials of medication or therapy because of challenges with transportation, literacy, resources, or other issues.
* The study will take place during or following a healthcare crisis and economic recession, making findings relevant to understanding the mechanisms by which hardship translates into youth mental illness.
* The innovative integration of online screening into school-based clinics and community-based settings in REL-minority communities is made possible by the combination of access to a new technology (CAT) in the context of a learning health community serving a REL-minority population.
* Empirical research on the impact of a resilience-based prevention intervention in youth and youth at risk is both innovative and much needed during this period of health, social and economic crisis.
