Limited access and extended waits can exacerbate symptoms, prolong distress, increase risk for more serious outcomes like suicide, self-harm, and hospitalization, and negatively impact engagement in treatment once it is offered. Novel, innovative approaches are urgently needed to provide support for Indigenous youth in Northwestern Ontario.\n\nIn partnership with Dilico Anishinabek Family Care, the investigators are evaluating the impact of a mental health app (JoyPop) as a tool for Indigenous youth who are waiting for mental health services. The JoyPop app was developed to support improved emotion regulation - a key difficulty for youth presenting with mental health challenges. Despite the promise of mobile mental health apps, significant gaps exist between the growing number of apps available in the public domain and empirical demonstration of the beneficial impacts of apps for users. Of the apps that address emotion regulation, most have not been evaluated, are narrow in scope, or have only been evaluated among non-diverse adult populations. The JoyPop app includes a broader focus, and this research is unique given its focus on rigorously evaluating the JoyPop app as a tool for treatment-seeking, Indigenous youth in Northwestern Ontario.\n\nUsing a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, the primary objective is to determine the effectiveness of the JoyPop app in improving emotion regulation among Indigenous youth (12-17) who are waiting for mental health services as compared to usual practice (UP; monitoring those on the wait-list). The secondary objectives are to: (1) Assess change in mental health difficulties and treatment readiness between youth in each condition to better understand the app's broader impact as a wait-list tool; (2) Conduct an economic analysis to determine whether receiving the app while waiting for mental health services reduces other health service use and associated costs; (3) Define the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) for the primary outcome measure; and (4) Assess youth perspective the quality of the JoyPop app.",[112,118],{"label":113,"type":114,"description":115,"interventionNames":116},"Usual Practice + JoyPop","EXPERIMENTAL","Participants will be monitored through the existing wait-list practices, which involve regular phone calls to check in and assess functioning, and will receive access to the JoyPop app for 4 weeks.",[117],"Behavioral: Usual Practice + JoyPop",{"label":119,"type":120,"description":121,"interventionNames":104},"Usual Practice","NO_INTERVENTION","Participants will be monitored through existing wait-list practices which involve regular phone calls to check in and assess functioning.
