A major component of ‘Sharing the Vision’, the national mental health strategy, is the creation of youth mental services for young people aged 12-25. This project will focus on data from MINDSPACE – one of the few existing youth mental health services in Ireland for which digital records exist.
Based on an already collected sample of n>1,100 young people (Corley et al 2023), this project will seek to characterize barriers and facilitators to engagement in the MINDSPACE service, and determinants of response to the brief psychosocial intervention provided by MINDSPACE. Quantitative analysis will include regression analyses to determine the barriers and facilitators to engagement (logistic regression) and determinants of treatment response (multiple regression analyses).
