Trial Outcomes & Findings for Patient Centered Enhancements in School Behavioral Health (NCT NCT03901274)

NCT ID: NCT03901274

Last Updated: 2025-06-05

Results Overview

Brief Problem Checklist: 12-item questionnaire measuring externalizing and internalizing problems found in children age 7-13 years old. Responses are given using a 3-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not true) to 2 (very true), with responses summed for a possible score ranging from 0 to 24. High scores indicate a worse outcome for respondents. Analysis included students who completed at least 80% of the items on the scale.

Participant Flow

As defined here, students who enrolled in the project were engaged in clinical services with a school-based mental health therapist. For some outcome measures, we used schoolwide data (e.g., grades, discipline) for all students enrolled at participating schools. There, number of participants analyzed are much larger due to overall school enrollment.

Measure
Wellness Condition
Participants in this condition will receive school-based behavioral health services from clinicians who are trained in the evidence-based Wellness Framework. Wellness: The Wellness framework packages together evidence-based practices of family engagement, modular evidence-based practice, quality assurance, and implementation support. Depending on their time of enrollment, participants can be involved in this condition for one to three years. They will be asked to complete assessments during their therapy sessions periodically throughout the trial.
Partnership
Participants in this condition will receive school-based behavioral health services from clinicians who are trained in the evidence-based Wellness framework. The clinicians in this condition will receive additional training on patient-centered enhancements called the Partnership intervention. Partnership: The two patient-centered enhancements are: enhancing mental health literacy and stigma reduction, and improving family-school-mental health partnerships. Depending on their time of enrollment, participants can be involved in this condition for one to three years. They will be asked to complete assessments during their therapy sessions periodically throughout the trial.

n=665 Participants • Each row represents a segment of the enrolled population: students or parent/caregiver. To report more accurately, we have separated these groups. It is important to note, to account for exceptionally high number of unknown/not reported ethnicity, this is due to an error in data collection. The survey did not distinguish between race and ethnicity, therefore respondents may have indicated a race (e.g., Black/African American) and no ethnicity. We assign these as ethnicity unknown.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (intake) and at 3 months and 6 months post-intake

Population: Students and parents who responded to at least 80% of items on the measure at each timepoint were included for analysis.

Brief Problem Checklist: 12-item questionnaire measuring externalizing and internalizing problems found in children age 7-13 years old. Responses are given using a 3-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not true) to 2 (very true), with responses summed for a possible score ranging from 0 to 24. High scores indicate a worse outcome for respondents. Analysis included students who completed at least 80% of the items on the scale.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Annually per academic year

Population: This number includes all students who were enrolled at each of the 20 participating schools, not only those who were engaged in clinical practice. Students did not actively consent into this analysis of administrative school record data. Only a small fraction of the schoolwide population enrolled in the study to provide self-reported data on behaviors and clinical outcomes; whereas this analysis was of whole-school data.

Computed models for student referrals to in-school suspension (ISS). The primary estimate can be interpreted as the log count difference between the treatment and control, and the zero inflated parameter can be interpreted as the log odds of not belonging to the inflated zero latent class. The primary analysis answers the question "Did random assignment to the Partnership condition change the number of observed behaviors?" and the zero inflated parameter asks "Did random assignment to the Partnership condition change the odds of having any observed behaviors?".

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Once annually, spring of each intervention year (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023)

Population: Participants in this outcome measure are schools, because this is a school-level variable. A total of 10 schools participated in each condition. In Spring 2020 and Spring 2021, only one school district participated due to the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic and related transition to remote learning. In some cases, no teachers or staff responded to the invitation to participate (as indicated in participation numbers below).

School Climate Survey (SCS): a free, online climate survey from the US Department of Education (ED). The SCS is a 73-item questionnaire for students and an 83-item questionnaire for school instructional and non-instructional staff on a 4 point scale ranging from 1 "Strongly Agree" to 4 "Strongly Disagree". School-level data were analyzed using ED School Climate Surveys (EDSCLS) platform which produces a benchmarked scale score. The benchmarked scale scores were created using item parameters based on a Rasch model. The EDSCLS produced scores which may fall into one of three categories: * Least Favorable (scores below 300) * Favorable (scores 300-400) * Most Favorable (scores above 400-500) Additional information on the benchmark scale score calculation is available at safesupportivelearning.ed.gov/edscls/benchmarks

Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8): 8-item measure for youth 11 and older and adults to assess individual's satisfaction with counseling services. Responses are given using a Likert scales ranging from 1 (indicating poor quality or dissatisfaction with service) to 4 (excellent or highly satisfied with service). Responses were summed for a possible score ranging from 8 to 32; with high scores indicating greater levels of satisfaction for respondents. Analysis included students who completed at least 80% of the items on the scale.

Child and Adolescent Social and Adaptive Functioning Scale (CASAFS): 24-item measure on school performance, peer relations, family relations, and home duties/self-care. The items range from 0 "Never" to 3 "Always". For some items, "Does not apply to me" is an optional response. Scores were summed for a possible range of 0 to 72, and respondents with at least 80% of items answered were included in analysis. Several items on the instrument required reverse coding prior to analysis. For this scale, lower scores indicate worse outcomes.

Therapeutic Alliance Scale for Children-revised (TASC) is a twelve item scale measuring the therapeutic alliance across treatment. The scale is a 12-item, 4-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from 0 "not like me" to 3 "very much like me". Five items on the scale required reverse coding prior to analysis. The total score is the sum of all items, ranging from 0 to 48, where higher scores mean stronger therapeutic alliance (better outcomes). Survey data were collected at 3- and 6-months post intake.

Population: Complete attendance records for all students enrolled in grades 6-8 at each of the 20 participating schools

School-level variable representing average number of days absent for all students in grades 6-8. The average is calculated by dividing the number of days absent by the total number of days in the school year (180). Note: attendance data are drastically skewed due to the impact of COVID-19. Many schools around the country, including those in one participating district, offered remote-only instruction (no in-person learning) during the 2020-2021 school year; thus the concept of "absence" from school was distorted. Therefore data presented here during 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 may not be meaningfully interpreted.
