Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the TeenScreen intervention to usual care for adolescents who screen positive for mental health problems in a pediatric emergency department. It is anticipated that adolescents receiving the TeenScreen intervention will be more likely to attend a first session of outpatient mental health services within 60 days of the initial screening than those receiving the usual care.
