Behavioral Health Initial Intake Outreach (NCT07790107)
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Patient Messages Before Behavioral Health Intake Calls to Increase Group Psychotherapy Uptake
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to help patients get seen sooner for behavioral health appointments by informing them about group therapy options, which allow more patients to be seen at once, often more quickly than 1:1 therapy. We will test whether messages describing the benefits of group therapy might encourage more patients to sign up for group therapy, thereby shortening patients' time to beginning therapy.
