Summary

Pediatric depression is a global concern that has fueled efforts for enhanced detection and treatment engagement. While many health systems have implemented components of depression screening protocols, there is limited evidence of effective follow-up for pediatric depression. Key barriers to prompt service linkage include a shared understanding of individual and team member roles and coordination between clinicians and staff across service areas. This project aims to refine and test a team-based implementation strategy, a team charter, improve implementation of an existing pediatric depression screening protocol in a large pediatric healthcare system. The implementation strategy will target team mechanisms at the organizational-level and provider-level. The team charter is hypothesized to lead to improved, efficient, and effective decision-making to increase the frequency of depression screening and timely service linkage. Findings are expected to yield better understanding of how to optimize team activities and patterns in the pediatric depression screening to treatment cascade. This should also culminate in improved patient engagement and outcomes, which are critical to address the youth mental health crisis.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Team-Enhanced Condition

Participants in the experimental arm (team-enhanced condition) will be asked to participate in the creation and use of a team charter. This will occur over a period of six months.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Condition

Providers in the standard condition will be asked to continue practices and response to depression screening as currently implemented by the hospital system.
