S.T.A.N.D. Alacrity Center Signature Project for Depression and Anxiety
This study is looking at different ways to help East Los Angeles College students with depression and anxiety. It's testing how well different online programs work, including "Self-Guided Online Prevention" and "Coach-Guided Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" (CBT, a type of talk therapy). It also includes "Clinician-Delivered Psychological and Psychiatric Care" for those who need more support. The goal is to see how well these programs help with symptoms and how easily people stick with them. You might be able to join if you are 18-40 years old, an East Los Angeles College student, and have internet access. You also need to be uninsured or covered by California Medicaid. The study aims to enroll 1000 participants.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 1000 participants aged 18-40 who will be randomized (like flipping a coin) into one of two groups to test different ways of deciding on mental health care.
- What's involved
- You would participate in online prevention or therapy programs and complete assessments for up to 40 weeks. If in clinician-delivered care, you would have weekly telehealth sessions.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your mental health symptoms and how well you stick to treatment will be tracked for up to 40 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Longitudinal trajectory of treatment adherenceUp to 40 weeks
Number of clinician sessions or coaching lessons attended or the number of online lessons completed; number of missed/cancelled sessions with clinicians or coaches; number of times logged on and total time spent online (1 item each). Measured longitudinally to capture trajectory over the course of the treatment.
- Baseline symptom severity for mental healthBaseline
Computerized Adaptive Test - Mental Health (CAT-MH). Symptoms of depression and anxiety are assessed using item response theory (IRT), where a subset of items are selected from a pool of approximately 1000 questions based on participant impairment level. Higher scores reflect greater symptom severity. Measured prior to beginning treatment to capture baseline value.

- Baseline social, occupational, and home functioningBaseline
Work and Social Adjustment Scale: functioning at work/school, home, social, and leisure activities (5 items, scored on a 0 to 8 scale). Higher scores reflect better adjustment. Measured prior to beginning treatment to capture baseline value.
- Baseline academic functioningBaseline
Healthy Minds Survey: grade point average and perceived impact of mental health on academic functioning (1 item each, scored on a 1 to 4 scale). Higher scores reflect poorer academic functioning. Measured prior to beginning treatment to capture baseline value.

- Suicide and self-harmUp to 40 weeks
Number of attempts of suicide and non-suicidal self harm (11 items, scored with yes/no). Higher scores reflect higher overall self harm risk.
