3-C Institute for Social Development
This SBIR Phase II proposal will fully develop and test the acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy of a novel measurement and feedback system, SMART-Wrap, tailored to Wraparound service model (WSM) for youth with serious emotional disorders (SED). SMART-Wrap will be a feasible, cost-efficient, and scalable software system to meet the pressing public health need for measurement-based care in care coordination for youth behavioral health. Results from pilot testing will determine SMART-Wrap's feasibility, usability, and efficacy in improving care quality and family outcomes, in addition to preparing the product for commercialization.
The goal of this Phase II SBIR is to develop and test a novel measurement and feedback system tailored to Wraparound Service Model (WSM), called SMART-Wrap. Aim 3 consists of a controlled efficacy study of SMART-Wrap in which 2 WSM provider organizations (WPO) will participate in a parallel group-randomized trial. Using a cascading recruitment strategy, 24 care teams will be recruited, with 12 teams randomized to the SMART-Wrap intervention versus 12 to "Services-as-Usual" (SAU), stratifying by supervisor to balance clustering effects. Randomization will be done at the care coordinator (CC) le…
Inclusion Criteria: Families * be youth with SED aged 8-17 or caregivers of youth with SED age 8-17 * have access to a mobile device * be English or Spanish speaking Exclusion Criteria: Families * To reduce heterogeneity and increase interpretability however, youth (approximately 10%) in foster care served by Wraparound provider organizations will be excluded. Inclusion Criteria: Care Teams * must agree to use SMART-Wrap over an 8-month period to participate * must include supervisors and care coordinators
An SMS-based intervention to facilitate regular, repeated evaluation of intermediate outcomes through self-report assessments for youth under Wraparound service model (WSM) care.
