Summary

Bridging the Gap aims to improve access to effective mental health treatment in a primary care setting through utilization of single session growth mindset interventions for parents and for youths. This project will also utilize focus groups and qualitative interviews to gain feedback on a single session online intervention in a rural pediatric primary care practice.

Detailed description

Bridging the Gap purposes to collect feedback on a single session growth mindset intervention (GMI) for parents and for youths designed to instill beliefs that personal traits (including mental health problems) are malleable. Feedback will also be collected to identify ways to improve implementing single session interventions (SSIs) in a primary care setting as well as identifying the impact on work-flow of this GMI. Patients presenting with depression and/or anxiety will all receive the GMI and will have the option of participating in focus groups/interviews pre and post-intervention to provide feedback on the intervention. Providers at this rural pediatric primary care practice will also have the chance to participate in focus groups/interviews pre and post-intervention implementation. Assignment of Interventions: As an open trial, all participants will be assigned to the intervention arm and will receive the GMI. This study is an open trial pilot project to collect feedback on a single session growth mindset intervention (GMI) (n=25 youth/caretaker dyads). Feedback from pre and post-intervention focus groups/interviews will be collected for 8 parents, 8 youth, and 8 treatment providers. The aims of the study are to: 1. Collect feedback from providers, parents, and participants pre and post- GMI to identify ways to improve implementing single session interventions (SSIs) in a primary care setting. 2. Identify the impact on work-flow of using an online single session called Growth Mindset Intervention in a primary care setting.
