Potential Impact

Background: Despite representing the highest level of total population mental health burden, young people are the least likely to seek help from mental health services. It has been suggested that service design can influence the likelihood that young people will look for help, but little is known about how young people would like a service to be designed. This study addresses a gap in research regarding how mental health services can be designed to facilitate access for young people.                          Methods: A collective intelligence, scenario-based design methodology was used to facilitate stakeholders to identify and prioritise ways to improve youth mental health services. In total, 74 15–17-year-olds from three geographically diverse schools in Ireland worked to identify barriers to help-seeking and to generate and prioritise options in response to barriers. Nine practitioners with experience of working in youth mental health services rated all options in terms of both potential impact on help-seeking and feasibility for service implementation. Results: A total of 326 barriers across 15 themes were generated by youth stakeholders, along with 133 options in response to barriers. Through a process of voting, young people identified 30 options as the most impactful for improving access to mental health services. Of these options, 12 were also rated by practitioners as having both high potential impact and high feasibility. These 12 options focused on four areas: making services more familiar and welcoming; providing specialist mental health input in schools; improving parental understanding; and improving the visibility of appropriate supports. Conclusions: The results of the current study inform mental health service innovation and development, in particular, by highlighting potentially impactful and feasible ways to adapt existing mental health services to improve young people’s help-seeking behaviour.

Low Rate

BackgroundYoung people (YP) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are recognized to be a group who are particularly vulnerable to falling through the gap regarding transitioning from Child and Adolescent Mental health Services (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS). This presentation will combine a systematic review of the literature with some clinical examples of the pathway for a number of YP with ADHD who reach the transition boundary (TB).Method(1) Databases (e.g., PubMed, PsycINFO, AMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge), and grey literature, were searched systematically with database-specific key words, variants and truncations, to cover six subject areas: ADHD; transition or transfer; age; experiences or views; service development; and policies or protocols. Hand searching of key journals, ancestry and forward searches of references, and expert consultation were conducted. Two reviewers critically evaluated studies using a validated appraisal tool for mixed methodologies and findings were synthesized. (2) Following ethical approval, CAMHS clinicians from 9 clinics in Republic of Ireland identified all cases where a YP with ADHD had reached the TB, and identified referral/service outcomes (n = 20).ResultsThe search yielded 27 studies, covering areas of service review and recommendations (7), guidelines (3), medication (5), case note audit (3), professional's views (5), pilot transition clinics (2). A further set of papers covered the perspective of the young person (4) and parent (2). Overall these highlighted the less than optimum experience by both clinicians and service users of the experience with suggestions for future developments. These findings were mirrored in the review of clinical notes and individual interviews of YP identified through their CAMHS. Of the 20 young people identified, only 1 was directly transferred to AMHS. Eight were retained in CAMHS, on average for over a year. A significant number (7) refused onward referral. A perception from CAMHS clinicians, that AMHS did not accept such cases or lacked relevant service/expertise, may have contributed to the low rate of referral.ConclusionBoth the extant literature and the specific study presented highlight the lack of clear cut consensus about the appropriate management of young people with ADHD have who reach the transition boundary. Low rates of AMHS transfer may come from CAMHS clinicians’ perceptions of AMHS, and preferences of young people and families. Before assuming the very low rate of referral by CAMHS clinicians is poor practice, clinical outcomes need to be identified, young people's reasons for refusing transfer explored and service options identified.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Monitoring Applications

BackgroundDigital mood-monitoring technology, such as mood-monitoring applications, is increasingly advocated within clinical research and is a potentially effective method to engage and empower youth. However, limited evidence is available on this type of technology.Objectives(1) To assess the evidence for the use of mobile mood-monitoring applications in youth; (2) to explore what available smartphone application would be most suitable to monitor mood from the perspective of young people; (3) to examine whether mood-monitoring applications are useful for investigating mood instability in youth; (4) to explore the utility and acceptability of using the mood-monitoring application from young people's and clinicians’ perspectives.AimTo investigate how mood-monitoring applications can be used to support the assessment, engagement and empowerment of young people presenting to mental health services with a range of diagnoses in which mood instability forms a key component.MethodsA systematic review using a Cochrane methodology was conducted. After obtaining ethical approval, this study will also employ a mixed methods approach, through which quantitative findings (e.g., digital mood-monitoring data) will be furnished with an in-depth understanding of young people's views on digital mood-monitoring technology.ResultsFindings from a systematic review focusing on the evidence for the psychometric properties, usability and clinical impacts of applications in youth will be presented. Preliminary results from consultations groups and plans for future research will also be discussed.ConclusionsEvidence acquired through this research can potentially influence mental health policies and result in more innovative (adjunct) interventions and improved outcomes for young people with mood instability.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
