What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating video interventions designed to support adolescents and their parents after traumatic injury to prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder. This study aims to develop and refine the Adolescent Stress and Substance Intervention Subsequent to Trauma (ASSIST) videos based on trauma center guidelines and assess their feasibility, acceptability, and potential for use in pediatric trauma care settings. The study involves two phases. In Phase I, adolescent-parent pairs review storyboards and participate in interviews at hospital admission and one month after discharge. Pediatric trauma center staff also complete interviews. Phase II focuses on pilot testing the ASSIST video interventions with adolescent-parent pairs who watch the videos and complete assessments at admission and one, two, and three months after discharge. The study will also develop an implementation protocol using input from national trauma center leaders. Participants will engage in interviews and assessments to provide feedback on the videos and their impact. Mental health and substance use outcomes will be monitored up to three months post-discharge. The research team will evaluate the videos' feasibility and acceptance as tools to improve mental health care during and after hospitalization. The total participation period for follow-up assessments extends to three months following discharge from the trauma center.
