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.

  • 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.
