Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
This research focuses on children with emotional difficulties who have been referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Referrals are sometimes turned down by CAMHS, often because of insufficient information. Even if the referral is accepted, assessments are often carried out without reaching a clinical diagnosis. This is important because receiving the correct diagnosis is vital so that appropriate help can be offered. We want to find out whether the use of a standard information-gathering package helps with the assessment and diagnosis process in CAMHS. Children referred to CAMHS will be randomly selected to go into one of two groups. Either the referral will be looked at as usual, or the package will be tested. This involves information being collected from the parent (and the child, if aged 11+) soon after the referral is received but before any decision has been made about accepting the referral. This information will then be passed on to the CAMHS clinicians and the family. We will assess how effective and cost-effective this approach is by seeing whether it makes any difference to whether or not a diagnosis is made and whether this better helps children and their families. We will follow the children up for 12 months to assess the impact on their emotional difficulties, day-to-day functioning and quality of life. For children and their families, receiving the right help at the right time can make a huge difference to their lives. By evaluating different approaches to assessment within CAMHS, and publicising our findings, our research will help improve care and inform clinical guidelines. Our findings will help the NHS decide how best to ensure value for money for how emotional difficulties are diagnosed.

Who can participate?
Children and young people (age 5-17 years) presenting with emotional difficulties referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), as well as their parents/carers.

What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to one of two groups. One group will be asked to complete an online package of questionnaires called the Development and Well-Being Assessment tool (DAWBA) in addition to the usual referral process. This will be completed after participants have been referred to CAMHS- but before a referral decision has been made. A summary report will be provided to both participants and clinical staff. The other group will receive usual care only, i.e. the referral will be reviewed based on the usual information provided to clinicians. All participants, regardless of group, will be asked to complete some online questionnaires 6 months and 12 months after joining the study.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Young people aged 11 and over, as well as all participating parents or carers, will receive a £20 voucher (upon receipt of the 12-month follow up questionnaire) as a thank you for the additional time spent on involvement in the research. By taking part in this study, there are no additional risks beyond undergoing usual referral and treatment to CAMHS. Participants may experience some worry or distress due to some of the questions asked in the questionnaires, but this is expected to be a similar experience to usual practise.

Where is the study run from?
The STADIA Trial is being run by the University of Nottingham, and takes place in a number of participating CAMHS in England.

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
June 2019 to December 2023

Who is funding the study?

Scientific titleSTAndardised DIagnostic Assessment for children and adolescents with emotional difficulties (STADIA): a multi-centre randomised controlled trial
Study acronymSTADIA
Study hypothesisThe study aims to find out whether the use of a standardised diagnostic assessment (SDA) tool improves the detection and treatment outcomes of emotional disorders in young people referred to CAMHS.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 12/06/2019, West Midlands - South Birmingham Research Ethics Committee (The Old Chapel, Royal Standard Place, Nottingham, NG1 6FS; 0207 1048101; nrescommittee.westmidlands-southbirmingham@nhs.net), ref: 19/WM/0133
ConditionBehavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence
InterventionThis research focuses on children with emotional difficulties who have been referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Referrals are sometimes turned down by CAMHS, often because of insufficient information. Even if the referral is accepted, assessments are often carried out without reaching a clinical diagnosis. This is important because receiving the correct diagnosis is vital so that appropriate help can be offered.

We want to find out whether the use of a standard information-gathering package helps with the assessment and diagnosis process in CAMHS. Children referred to CAMHS will be randomly selected to go into one of two groups. Either the referral will be looked at as usual, or the package will be tested. This involves information being collected from the parent (and the child, if aged 11+) soon after the referral is received but before any decision has been made about accepting the referral. This information will then be passed on to the CAMHS clinicians and the family.

We will assess how effective and cost-effective this approach is by seeing whether it makes any difference to whether or not a diagnosis is made and whether this better helps children and their families. We will follow the children up for 12 months to assess the impact on their emotional difficulties, day-to-day functioning and quality of life.

For children and their families, receiving the right help at the right time can make a huge difference to their lives. By evaluating different approaches to assessment within CAMHS, and publicising our findings, our research will help improve care and inform clinical guidelines. Our findings will help the NHS decide how best to ensure value for money for how emotional difficulties are diagnosed.

The study aims to find out whether the use of a standardised diagnostic assessment (SDA) tool improves the detection and treatment outcomes of emotional disorders in young people referred to CAMHS. SDA tools are structured assessments that indicate the presence of difficulties according to established diagnostic criteria. There are several valid and reliable SDA tools, however, there is uncertainty over the value of these in clinical practice and they are not routinely used. Because there is uncertainty a randomised controlled trial is the appropriate methodology. The SDA tool will be tested as an addition to usual practice and this will be compared with current usual practice only.

The SDA tool to be tested in the current study is the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA). The DAWBA has been widely used and has established reliability and validity.

Participants will be recruited through CAMHS services (including triage/single point of access [SPA] teams) in the participating NHS sites and identified at the point of referral receipt. Participants will be randomised to the DAWBA in addition to usual practice, or usual practice only. Those allocated to complete the DAWBA will be provided with a link to the online system and will be offered additional telephone support to complete the online questionnaire if required. Following completion, the results of the DAWBA will be provided to the participant and to the CAMHS team considering the referral. A copy will be saved in the young person’s CAMHS record.

Data collection from participants will be completed online, and supplemented by collection of data from CAMHS records. Participants will be followed up for 12 months, with data collection at 6 and 12 months post-randomisation. A subset of participants will also be invited to take part in qualitative interviews.

Alongside this, qualitative interviews will also be carried out with clinicians, service managers and commissioners.

This is a 4-year study, which started in November 2018. Recruitment of participants is due to commence in June 2019 and will continue for up to 2 years. There is a 12 month follow-up period, followed by 6 months for analysis and reporting.
