Interventions

  • SMARTwrap — BEHAVIORAL
    An SMS-based intervention to facilitate regular, repeated evaluation of intermediate outcomes through self-report assessments for youth under Wraparound service model (WSM) care.

Study Details

This SBIR Phase II proposal will fully develop and test the acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy of a novel measurement and feedback system, SMART-Wrap, tailored to Wraparound service model (WSM) for youth with serious emotional disorders (SED). SMART-Wrap will be a feasible, cost-efficient, and scalable software system to meet the pressing public health need for measurement-based care in care coordination for youth behavioral health. Results from pilot testing will determine SMART-Wrap's feasibility, usability, and efficacy in improving care quality and family outcomes, in addition to preparing the product for commercialization.

Arms

  • Experimental: SMART wrap
    In the treatment of youth with SED, integrated, multi-model treatment as well as the Wraparound service model (WSM) have been cited as effective community treatments. WSM, like other evidence-based practices, relies on consistently measured data to not only inform care, but also ensure positive outcomes of care. However, research on WSM suggests that the measurement and use of data from participants is inconsistent at best. This intervention, SMS-based augmentation, seeks to improve the impact and approach of the Wraparound service model by utilizing SMS, which has been shown to increase treatment adherence and sustained engagement. This intervention will facilitate regular, repeated evaluation of intermediate outcomes through self-report assessments. This will provide more consistently gathered data to inform care, improving therapeutic outcomes for participants with SED.
  • No Intervention: Service-As-Usual (SAU)
    Participants assigned to the Services-As-Usual Arm (SAU) will receive Wraparound care as set forth in their clinical organization only. They will not receive the SMS messages that the experimental group is receiving.
