Effects of Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) on South Asian American Adults Working With South Asian American Youth

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

This study aims to adapt the Youth Mental Health First Aid training to better meet the needs of South Asian American adults who support South Asian American youth. Focus groups will help identify what changes are needed. Based on that input, the training will be updated and then tested to see how well it helps adults improve their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward mental health and supporting the mental health of South Asian American youth.
