Co-Designing Recommendations to Increase Youth Participation
in filling out questionnaires and other methods to share their views on their health and experiences in mental health services
Purpose
The goal of this study is to create a list of recommendations on how to improve the way early intervention in psychosis clinics in Maryland and Pennsylvania choose and use youth-reported questionnaires. These kinds of measures are an important tool for young people to share their perspectives. Young people may have many reasons for using these ways of sharing their perspective — or reasons why they choose not to share their perspectives. We are hoping to better understand these reasons to improve the experience of sharing perspectives in early intervention for psychosis clinics.
What Will Participants Be Asked to Do?
- Complete a short background survey.
- Attend a half-day workshop to put together a list of recommendations.
- Complete a survey on the final version of the list of recommendations.
Eligible Participants
- 18 - 37 years old
- Conversationally fluent in English or French
- Have received services at an early intervention for psychosis clinic in Maryland or Pennsylvania within the last two years (you can still be receiving services, or you can have stopped any time within the last two years).
