An interventional study of Power Up in Emotional Difficulties, sponsored by University College, London. Status unknown at 3 sites in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 11 Years to 19 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-12-09.
Sponsored by University College, London · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
There is an increasing demand for digital tools to empower young people with mental health difficulties (NHS England, 2015). Digital information, advice and mood tracking tools are increasingly being used to support child mental health. Evidence suggests that young people want to be active participants in their care and involved in decisions about their treatment. However, there is a lack of digital shared decision making tools available to support young people in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). This study aims to develop Power Up, a smartphone app to empower young people in CAMHS to make their voice heard and to participate more in decisions around their care.
The project will involve two phases:
The findings will inform the planning of a prospective cluster controlled trial. More broadly this trial will contribute an understanding of the feasibility and acceptability of developing and implementing a shared decision making app into CAMHS.
