Abstract

A better understanding of the transition from child to adult community mental health services is important given the high rates of service drop-out. Conducting longitudinal research is challenging during a major service provider change. Developmentally-typical transition-to-adulthood instability can deter study engagement. This study examines the efficacy of creative technology-based strategies to recruit and engage adolescents and young adults (AYA) with serious mental health diagnoses in a qualitative study during their transition from child to adult services. Participants were recruited from one agency to complete three in-depth qualitative interviews and monthly surveys exploring mental health service experiences over 12-months. Participants received a smartphone and data plan for 6-months at initial interview, $50 at 6-month interview and $55 at 12-month interview. Four research assistants used a shared Google Voice account to text monthly online surveys and to communicate with participants. 19 participants enrolled; 74% remained enrolled across the 12-months. Smartphones and data plans were not effective in recruiting nor sustaining study engagement for most participants. Participants preferred a mix of texting and phone calls to prompt study engagement; 60% of online surveys were completed. Unanticipated participant-researcher communication outside of research scope suggests that the formation of strong relationships and additional support during this transitional time is critical for sustained study engagement. Study findings have practical implications for social work longitudinal research design and effective study implementation. Future social work research is warranted on innovative strategies to boost study and service engagement among AYA with serious co-occurring mental health and developmental instability.

让有严重心理健康状况的年轻人参与纵向心理健康服务研究的创新技术策略。
鉴于服务辍学率很高,更好地了解从儿童到成人社区心理健康服务的过渡非常重要。在主要服务提供商变更期间,进行纵向研究具有挑战性。发育中典型的向成年期过渡的不稳定可能会阻碍学习参与。这项研究在一项定性研究中考察了基于创造性技术的策略在招募和吸引有严重心理健康诊断的青少年和年轻人(AYA)从儿童服务过渡到成人服务期间的有效性。参与者从一家机构招募,完成三次深入的定性访谈和每月调查,探索12个月内的心理健康服务体验。参与者在初次面试时获得了6个月的智能手机和数据计划,在6个月面试时获得50美元,在12个月面试中获得55美元。四名研究助理使用共享的谷歌语音账户每月发送在线调查短信,并与参与者交流。19名参与者报名;74%的人在12个月内仍然注册。智能手机和数据计划在招募和维持大多数参与者的研究参与方面都不有效。参与者更喜欢短信和电话相结合的方式来促进学习参与;60%的在线调查已经完成。在研究范围之外,参与者与研究人员的意外交流表明,在这一过渡时期形成牢固的关系和额外的支持对持续的研究参与至关重要。研究结果对社会工作纵向研究的设计和有效的研究实施具有实际意义。未来的社会工作研究需要创新策略,以提高患有严重心理健康和发育不稳定的AYA的学习和服务参与度。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
