Abstract Mental health (MH) screening is critical to ensure early identification of youth MH needs. Schools are the most common setting for MH service delivery to children and adolescents, therefore, improving the capacity of school- based MH providers to easily access and use validated, high quality MH screening and assessment instruments to identify students in need of services is a significant public health need. Unfortunately, school health and MH professionals face several barriers to using validated MH screening tools, including lack of familiarity with and access to established measures, scoring and interpretation challenges, and limited time and resources to set up and administer MH assessment. Significant public health impact would be realized by investing resources in evidence-based screening and assessment technology products that are feasible, affordable, and usable for schools. The goal of this Direct to Phase II SBIR is to increase access to and use of established high quality MH and MH-related assessment measures in schools. We will develop the SHARE (Student Health Assessment, Response, and Evaluation) software system through iterative, user-centered testing. SHARE will be designed to overcome logistical (e.g., cost, time) and implementation (e.g., administration, scoring) barriers that limit use of available measures, so schools can feasibly implement MH screening and assessment on a routine basis and, ultimately, narrow the gap in access to MH care for youth. This SBIR will further the successful collaboration of 3C Institute and the National Center for School Mental Health (NCSMH). 3C brings essential skills in how to build easy-to-use, feasible technology products for schools, including research-driven platforms for online data collection with youth, meaningful data displays, and integrated decision aids, along with an established technology infrastructure to ensure secure data collection, transfer, and storage. NCSMH brings a nationwide network of thousands of SMH administrators and providers through its School Health Assessment and Performance Evaluation System (SHAPE) along with essential research and clinical expertise in SMH assessment and services, including developing data-driven decision supports to improve SMH services. This foundational work and collaboration provide an unparalleled opportunity to successfully move the proposed SHARE product to market and in so doing, quickly provide schools with an effective means to assess their students’ MH needs and elevate the quality of SMH services. Our Direct to Phase II project will accomplish three specific aims: (1) create the fully functional SHARE software system through iterative user-centered tests, (2) conduct a field test with SMH providers and youth, and (3) conduct a pilot test of the full SHARE system with SMH providers, school-level administrators, and district-level administrators. This administrative supplement will enable us to include a suite of online Professional Development modules regarding (a) cultural competencies and (b) increasing access to treatment after assessment, thus further strengthening our ability to meet our end goal to elevate the quality of SMH services which, in turn, has the potential for broad-reaching public health impact for youth and families.

摘要 心理健康（MH）筛查是至关重要的，以确保青年MH需求的早期识别。学校是最 为儿童和青少年提供卫生保健服务的共同环境，因此，提高学校的能力， 基于MH的提供者可以方便地访问和使用经过验证的高质量MH筛查和评估工具 确定需要服务的学生是一项重要的公共卫生需求。不幸的是，学校卫生和MH 专业人员在使用经过验证的MH筛查工具时面临着几个障碍，包括缺乏对 获得既定的措施，评分和解释的挑战，以及有限的时间和资源，以建立 进行精神健康评估通过投入资源，将对公共卫生产生重大影响 以证据为基础的筛选和评估技术产品是可行的，负担得起的，可用于 学校这一直接进入第二阶段SBIR的目标是增加获得和使用既定的高质量MH 以及学校有关精神卫生的评估措施。我们将开发SHARE（学生健康评估， 响应和评估）软件系统通过迭代，以用户为中心的测试。SHARE将被设计为 克服后勤问题（例如，成本、时间）和实现（例如，管理，评分）的障碍，限制使用 现有的措施，使学校可以切实可行地实施MH筛查和评估的日常基础上， 最终，缩小青年人获得卫生保健护理的差距。该SBIR将进一步促进 3C研究所和国家学校心理健康中心（NCSMH）。3C带来了如何构建 为学校提供易于使用、可行的技术产品，包括研究驱动的在线数据平台 收集与青年，有意义的数据显示，和综合决策援助，连同沿着一个既定的 技术基础设施，以确保安全的数据收集，传输和存储。NCSMH带来了一个全国性的 通过学校健康评估，数千名SMH管理员和提供者组成的网络， 性能评价系统（SHAPE）沿着SMH的基本研究和临床专业知识 评估和服务，包括开发数据驱动的决策支持，以改善SMH服务。这 基础工作和协作提供了一个无与伦比的机会，成功地将拟议的 将产品推向市场，并在此过程中迅速为学校提供一种有效的手段， 学生的心理健康需求，提高SMH服务的质量。我们的第二阶段项目将完成三个 具体目标：（1）通过以用户为中心的迭代测试创建功能齐全的SHARE软件系统，（2） 与SMH提供者和青年进行实地测试，以及（3）对完整的SHARE系统进行试点测试， SMH提供者，学校一级管理人员和地区一级管理人员。本行政补充 将使我们能够包括一套在线专业发展模块，涉及（a）文化 能力和（B）增加评估后获得治疗的机会，从而进一步加强我们的 有能力实现我们的最终目标，提高SMH服务的质量，这反过来又有可能 对青年和家庭产生广泛的公共卫生影响。
