This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) provides $246,000 to the University of Chicago to systematically evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of their REACT (Recovery & Empowerment After Community Trauma) Clinic model. The REACT Clinic is an interdisciplinary, trauma-informed intervention focused on providing free, accessible, and culturally responsive mental health services to Black youth affected by community violence in Chicago's South Side. The project aims to assess the impact of the REACT Clinic on reducing mental health stigma, increasing healthcare literacy, and improving trust in the healthcare system among the target population. The study will employ a longitudinal, mixed-methods design to collect data from 48 Black youth aged 12-18 and their caregivers over a 3-month period following their participation in the REACT Clinic services. The findings from this grant-funded research are intended to provide critical insights into the viability and benefits of the REACT Clinic model for addressing the mental health needs of youth impacted by community violence in minoritized urban communities.
