About this study

The research study will examine engagement in telehealth for children undergoing psychotherapy. The study in Phase I entails a pilot randomized trial with a goal to enroll 42 families, examining patient engagement in Teleo, a virtual therapy platform specifically designed for psychotherapy with youth, as compared to standard video conferencing.

Engagement will be assessed using well-established measures - PRIME-O (modified) video coding (session 1), MTT-Y/MTTCG (sessions 1, 4) and attendance data (sessions 1-4). Clinicians in the study will deliver therapy to clients for 4 sessions, providing opportunity to measure temporal sustainment of any engagement differences.

  2. My Thoughts about Therapy - Youth (MTT-Y) engagement questionnaire scores

    Time frame: Post-intervention (at one month)
