Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SolanoConnex.org program on help-seeking attitudes and help-seeking behaviors among users compared to a control group. This study will employ a randomized controlled trial design with two parallel arms. Participants in the intervention group will receive full access and orientation to SolanoConnex.org, including multiple features designed to enhance engagement with local mental health resources. Participants in the control group will receive publicly available mental health resources. The primary outcome is any use of mental health services including conversations and communication, digital engagement and media consumption, direct service use or self-help and alternative support all of which will be self-reported through digital diaries prompted every two weeks. Secondary outcomes are endorsed and anticipated Stigma related to mental health, help-seeking attitudes, self-efficacy in seeking mental health care. Potential covariates include demographics, past mental health service use and satisfaction, readiness to change, and discrimination experiences during past healthcare use.

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mental Health Navigator and App Intervention Group

Participants in the intervention group will be blinded to their study arm status. They will receive full access and orientation to SolanoConnex.org, including multiple features designed to enhance engagement with local mental health resources. First, they will be granted access to the SolanoConnex.org website and mobile application, educational materials, social media and resource navigation. To facilitate ease of use, participants will receive a step-by-step guide and a tutorial video demonstrating how to navigate the platform's features. Additionally, they will gain access to SolanoConnex-produced videos and podcasts which profiles mental health providers and covers various mental health topics.

Participants in the control group will also be blinded to their study arm status. They will receive generic materials consisting of access to publicly available mental health resources without exposure to SolanoConnex.org or its patient navigator services. They will be provided with general information on national mental health hotlines, local mental health services, and online directories of available resources but will not receive specific training or guidance in using these resources.
