The THINK study: Identifying cognitive impairment in youth mental health care

 

 

RECRUITING:

This study is investigating youth mental health worker experiences of identifying cognitive impairment in young people, including barriers and enablers to screening as part of routine care for young people with mental health challenges.

Participants are invited to take part in a 10-minute online survey, and those currently working in Australia are invited to participate further in a one-hour interview.

Survey participants will have the option to enter a prize draw for completing the survey and interview participants will be reimbursed for taking part in a one-hour online interview.

Participants do not need to be experts in cognition or cognitive impairment. Participants must currently work directly with young people aged 12 – 25 in a mental health care role; and have training in evidence-based mental health care – minimum Certificate IV or equivalent in a health or related area.
The survey is open to youth mental health workers internationally. To take part in an interview, participants must currently work in Australia.

Participation in the study is completely voluntary and researchers will ensure participants have all information about the study before they provide consent.
