Official title
From Science to Practice: An Evidence Based Engagement Intervention to Support Treatment Success for Youth's Problematic Sexual Behavior
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Efficacious child mental health services are only helpful if families engage in services; however, as many as 75% of families in need never establish contact with a mental health professional and greater than half of families fail to attend their first appointment. Fortunately, interventions have been developed to increase the likelihood that families will participate in treatment. Despite the development of these interventions, no research to date has evaluated these strategies with a critically important population, youth with problematic sexual behaviors (PSB). PSBs in children are a substantial public health concern, as greater than one-third of child sexual abuse cases are committed by other youth. Evidence based practices (EBP's) that include direct engagement of caregivers in services for youth PSB have strong efficacy, with recidivism rates of two percent. Thus, a therapeutic response that successfully engages families is necessary to promote community safety. Research has indicated that engagement of families in PSB treatment has greater complications due to managing internal and external experiences of shame, stigma, and misperceptions of youth. Therefore, the present study seeks to determine the impact of a first contact intervention to assess if strategies aid in the engagement of families in treatment for youth PSB as compared to referral as usual. This will be accomplished by conducting a small-scale Randomized Control Trial. This project is the first step in an innovative line of research that will provide practical strategies for practitioners to utilize in order to successfully recruit, retain, and heal families of youth with PSB.
