This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
Young adults experiencing homelessness have high rates of mental health conditions but low rates of service utilization and the point of transition from homelessness to supported housing provides a window of opportunity for intervention. The goal of this study is to adapt the evidenced-based intervention, Critical Time Intervention, for young adults with mental health conditions who are entering a rapid rehousing program and test the adapted intervention in a randomized feasibility pilot trial. Participants in the pilot trial will be asked to participate in the CTI-YAMH intervention that involves structured case management and supports from a mental health liaison and a peer support specialist. After a pilot feasibility phase (n=8), we will test the intervention by randomly assigning young adults on the housing wait list to a housing program with CTI-YAMH (n=26) or to get housing supports from another agency that does not provide CTI-YAMH (treatment as usual, n=26).
