The University of Miami, through its Research Administration - Coral Gables Division, has been awarded a $535,571 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants. The purpose of this 4-year grant is to enhance the effectiveness of measurement-based care (MBC) for youth mental health treatment in community mental health centers. The project aims to: 1) define and evaluate the continuum of MBC fidelity domains, 2) assess the impact of MBC fidelity on target mechanisms and youth clinical outcomes, and 3) evaluate the utility of pragmatic MBC fidelity indicators. The research will utilize data from the existing Community Study of Outcome Monitoring for Emotional Disorders in Teens (COMET) trial, which compares different MBC delivery approaches. The long-term goal is to optimize MBC effectiveness and improve youth mental health outcomes through the development of implementation strategies to enhance MBC fidelity in community settings.
