Background: Early evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic and associated interventions have affected mental well-being and associated health service use.
Aims: the aim of this study was to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health measures on helpline and telehealth service demand.
Methods: the study utilized a mixed methods research design.
Importance: The Modular Approach to Therapy for Children (MATCH) was developed to address the comorbidities common among clinically referred youth, with beneficial outcomes shown in 2 US randomized clinical trials, where it outperformed both usual clinical care and single disorder-specific treatments.
Objective: To determine whether MATCH training of clinicians would result in more use of empirically supported treatment (EST) and better clinical outcomes than usual care (UC) in the publicly funded, multidisciplinary context of New Zealand.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multisite, single-blind, computer-randomized clinical effectiveness trial compared MATCH with UC in child and adolescent mental health services in 5 regions of New Zealand.
Background: Mental health disorders are common and disabling for young people because of the potential to disrupt key developmental tasks. Implementation of evidence-based psychosocial therapies in New Zealand is limited, owing to the inaccessibility, length, and cost of training in these therapies. Furthermore, most therapies address one problem area at a time, although comorbidity and changing clinical needs commonly occur in practice.
