The Impact of Routine Follow-up Contacts After a Pediatric ED Visit for Youth With Suicide Risk

Study Overview

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.

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a social work led follow up program helps caregivers of youths with suicide risk access mental health resources. Primary aims include: 1. To formalize a mental health follow up protocol that assists youths with engagement of mental health services after a hospital visit. 2. To evaluate and standardize the optimal timing for the follow up phone calls. 3. To assess the proportion of patients with suicide risk who connect with community mental health care within a month after a pediatric emergency department (ED) visit at Johns Hopkins Hospital. 4. To assess the proportion of patients with suicide risk who have repeat ED visits within 3 and 6 months. The primary outcome of interest is the proportion of youths referred to a community provider who successfully connect to community mental health resources 5 to 10 business days after an ED visit. The secondary outcome will involve repeat ED visits within 3 and 6 months.
