Problem:
Based on the information below, in 2 sentences, explain the aims of the study Background: Approximately 20% of Canadian youth (12-25 years) experience mental health and substance use (MHSU) concerns, with the majority not receiving timely evidence-informed care. The YouthCan IMPACT study was a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (pRCT) of an integrated youth services model. The pRCT compared integrated collaborative care teams (the intervention) to youth outpatient hospital psychiatric services (the treatment as usual control). We embedded a qualitative study within the pRCT to explore youth's perceptions and experiences of the intervention and the control services. Methods: Youth participants (14-17 years) were recruited to the study within an ongoing pRCT from hospitals. Youth were purposively sampled from the broader pRCT sample based on sex assigned at birth and pRCT arm (intervention or control group). To capture service experience across a range of follow-up intervals, youth were eligible to participate in the study if they had completed a six-month or a 12-month assessment within the pRCT. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with n = 44 youth between January 2018 and December 2019 (n = 22 intervention and n = 22 control participants). The interview focused on access; needs and preferences; decision-making; and satisfaction, among other domains. Two coders thematically analyzed the groups. Need Assignment Help?
