Improving youth access to behavioral health services through integrated care and task shifting: protocol for a cluster-randomized stepped wedge clinical trial.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: One promising solution for improving access to mental health services is integrated behavioral health models, in which behavioral health providers address mental health problems within the primary care infrastructure. Additionally, task-shifting, where non-specialists deliver certain services in the place of specialists, may be well-suited to address mental health provider shortages. The current study outlines the protocol for a hybrid type III implementation-effectiveness, cluster-randomized stepped wedge trial to evaluate the implementation of an adapted pediatric integrated behavioral health model (Peds IBH) that includes task-shifting services, explore the facilitators and barriers to the implementation of Peds IBH, and examine connection to behavioral health care pre- and post-implementation. Methods: The trial will include 25 pediatric primary care clinics across 13 counties in a large healthcare system. Clinics will be randomized to one of three cohorts, stepped in at 6-month intervals, with a 12-month implementation period. The Peds IBH program will: 1) incorporate task-shifting to treat mild to moderate anxiety, depression, and conduct problems with flexible, transdiagnostic cognitive-behavior therapy to be delivered by bachelor's level interventionists, 2) leverage existing child psychiatry provider consultation programs, and 3) increase sustainability through a different billing model. Quantitative data collection will include surveys (primary care team members, behavioral health providers, and youth and caregivers) and tracking of implementation strategies. Qualitative interviews will be conducted with primary care providers and staff. Discussion: This trial will evaluate the implementation of the Peds IBH program. While the focus is implementation outcomes, we will assess effectiveness to inform future dissemination efforts. Trial registration: N/A.
