简要总结
Helping Youth on the Path to Employment (HYPE): Creating economic self-sufficiency, a randomized-controlled implementation efficacy hybrid trial, will test a manualized intervention combining educational and employment supports for young adults with mental health conditions on a college campus.
详细描述
Previous controlled trials in mature adult subjects has consistently demonstrated that Supported Employment interventions (i.e., Individual Placement and Supports) elicit benefit for those with mental health conditions in getting and keeping productive work. Similarly, previous research demonstrates that Supported Education has efficacy in helping young adults with mental health conditions in their academics. However, to date, no evidence-based practice exists which combines both supported education and supported employment interventions into a single model that has efficacy and utility for young adults with serious mental health conditions. Supported Education has been fruitful for navigating academics, but hasn't demonstrated efficacy for supporting young adults with their careers, and Supported Employment programs, like IPS, have shown poor efficacy for helping young adults, as it was designed to assist mature adults. Therefore, the HYPE Model will become the first evidence-informed intervention to combine Supported Employment and Supported Education paradigms in an effort to help young adults with mental health conditions successfully navigate college so they can move into a primary labor market career and attain economic self-sufficiency. Furthermore, this study will be employed from within the university setting itself, on the college campus, and will be embedded directly in either Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) (i.e., Office of disability services) or Office of Counseling Services.
