Brief, Transdiagnostic Care to Support Academic Learning in Adolescents with Emotional Disorder Symptoms (UP-PEACE)
Project Description:
The research team will modify the UP-PEACE program for school settings from the existent Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment for Emotional Disorders in Adolescents (UP-A), a transdiagnostic form of cognitive behavior therapy, using qualitative feedback from key stakeholders. The UP-A presents evidence-based practices for emotional disorders in a transdiagnostic context: cognitive strategies (e.g., reappraisal, problem-solving), mindfulness-based strategies (e.g., non-judgmental awareness), behavioral strategies (e.g., exposure, behavioral activation, opposite action). Likely modifications include an abbreviated, rolling group structure; telehealth delivery; in-school behavioral skill practice; and streamlined materials for school clinicians. In planned modifications to the UP-A, the researchers will also consider the context in which UP-PEACE is provided (school-located, integrated pediatric primary care), types of school mental health provider type delivering the program (determined via stakeholder feedback) and the lower-income, highly diverse communities from which the sample of adolescents for this study will be drawn.
