Interventions

  • Clinical team access to Placement Success Predictor (PSP) results — OTHER
    PSP is a machine-learning based clinical decision support tool that is designed to assist clinical team members in making placement decisions for youth.

Study Details

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a new clinical decision support tool, Placement Success Predictor (PSP). PSP will provide placement-specific predictions about the likelihood of a youth having a good outcome in each placement type using machine learning algorithms. The primary hypothesis is that if clinical team members have access to PSP results for youth in the experimental group, these youth will have better outcomes at the 3-month follow-up compared to youth in the control group.

Arms

  • Experimental: Access to PSP site-specific placement prediction scores for that youth
    The PSP system will provide site-specific placement success prediction scores \[i.e., client's likelihood of success per placement based on machine learning models\] for each youth randomized to this condition in the efficacy study.
  • No Intervention: No PSP site-specific placement prediction scores for that youth

Primary Outcome Measure

Mean difference on average z-scores across raters within two weeks on the Clinical Scale of the Treatment Outcome Package (TOP-CS) between a) the beginning of the study (between February and October 2025) and b) approximately 3 months later. [ Time Frame: At baseline and in 3 months ]
