Summary

The goal of this SBIR is to develop and test Assist-MH, a new interactive digital support system for SMH providers. Assist-MH will offer SMH treatment resources to help providers implement a more customized treatment plan specific to the student's needs. Based on student areas of need, the system will deliver both provider-led MH strategies to optimize time spent with the student and self-paced digital strategies (video, game-based, interactive) for students to augment in-person treatment and provide unique between-session learning and practice.

ASSIST-MH

The goal of this SBIR is to create Assist-MH, a new interactive digital support system for SMH providers. Assist-MH will offer an innovative suite of diverse MH strategies to help providers address the clinical needs of youth in distress. In Phase I, the focus will be on tools to address depression and anxiety for students ages 12 to 17 years. These MH problems are among the most common for youth, and have shown increasing prevalence in recent years among this age group. Investigators will conduct user-centered testing to determine the set of MH strategies most needed by SMH providers, create a sampling of these resources, and test the usability and promise of the proposed Assist-MH product prior to Phase II full development and pilot testing.
