Text 2 Connect- Texting Intervention for Mental Health Treatment Utilization

Participant's engagement with the T2C intervention will be assessed via their response rate to SMS prompts, as the primary outcome of Text2Connect Phase 2. "High" engagement with T2C will be rated as >70% response rate.

All Intervention participants (n=34) received text-message check-ins with question: "How would you rate your emotional health this past week?" on a likert scale of: 1=excellent; 2=very good; 3=good;4=fair; 5=poor. Participants who did not respond to this message initially were sent a reminder with the same content each week of the intervention.

Participant's engagement with the T2C intervention will be assessed via their response rate to prompts, as the primary outcome of Text2Connect Phase 2. "High" engagement with T2C will be rated as >70% response rate.

Participants received 1 text "How would you rate our emotional health this last week" on a likert scale of: 1 (excellent), 2 Very good, 3 good 4 fair 5 poor. If respondents answered "fair" or "Poor" they were routed to a website with psychoeducational videos and additional questions called a "web-based check in." The questions inquired what type of stressors the participant experienced contributing to the "Fair" or "Poor" ratings, what types of symptoms the participants noticed as a result of the indicated stressor and if participants felt they could manage their stress.

Participant's engagement with the T2C intervention will be assessed via their response rate to prompts, as the primary outcome of Text2Connect Phase 2. "High" engagement with T2C will be rated as >70% response rate. Participants are considered "dropped out" if they requested to be removed from the T2C intervention and all texts to be stopped.

Satisfaction with the technical components of interventions will be assessed through the certain questions from the Post System Satisfaction and Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ), as the primary outcome of Text2Connect Phase 2. The PSSUQ utilize 16 items w/ response options ranging from 1-7 where 1=strongly disagree and 7=strongly agree. The PSSUQ has sub-scores derived from subsets of the questions which reflect system usefulness, information quality, and interface quality. Scores are added and range from 16-112, with higher score indicating less satisfaction. Questions 1 to 16 result in the Overall score; Questions 1 to 6 result in System Usefulness score; Questions 7 to 12 result in Information Quality score; Questions 13 to 16 result in Interface Quality.

Satisfaction with the technical components of interventions will be assessed through the certain questions from the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ8). 8 items are scored on a likert scale of 1 to 4. Item 1 (reverse scored): scale 1(excellent)-4 (poor); Item 2: 1(definitely not)-4(definitely); item 3(reverse scored): 1(none of needs met)-4(all needs met); item 4: 1(definitely not)-4(definitely); item 5: 1(quite dissatisfied)-4(very satisfied); item 6(reverse scored): 1(made things worse)-4(helped a great deal); item 7 (reverse scored): 1(quite dissatisfied)-4(very satisfied); item 8: 1(definitely not)-4(definitely). Higher scores=higher satisfaction (score sum range is 8-32).

Mental health self-efficacy will be assessed via the Mental Health Self-Efficacy Scale (MHSES), as the primary outcome of Text2Connect Phase 2. The MHSES contains 6 items that are scored on a 10-point Likert Scale. Scores range from 6-60 with higher scores indicating greater confidence in participant's mental health self-efficacy.

Mental health self-efficacy will be assessed via the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), as the primary outcome of Text2Connect Phase 2. The GSE contains 10 items scored on a 4-point Likert Scale, with scores ranging from 10-40. Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy.

Psychosocial functioning will be assessed via the College Adjustment Questionnaire (CAQ) The CAQ contains 14 questions & 3 subscales (Educational, Relational, & Psychological functioning) embedded within. Each subscale is scored on 1(very inaccurate)-5 (very accurate) likert scale. Educational Functioning items include: 1, 5, 7, 12, 13; Relational Functioning items include: 2, 4, 9, 10, 14; Psychological Functioning items include: 3, 6, 8, 11. Items 2 & 9 from Relational subscale, 13 from Educational subscale, & 8 & 11 from Psychological subscale are reversed scored on 5 (very inaccurate)-1(very accurate) likert scale.

The Educational functioning subscale score can be summed range from 5-25; the Relational functioning subscale score can be summed range from 5-25; the Psychological subscale can be summed range from 4-20. Total scores across all 3 subscales can be summed & range from 14-70. Higher scores indicate better functioning on each scale and across the total measure.

Symptom severity will be assessed via the CCAPS Mental Health Symptoms. The CCAPS is a 62-item instrument with 8 subscales (depression, general anxiety, social anxiety, academic distress, eating concerns, family distress, hostility, substance abuse) related to psychological symptoms & distress in college students. Scores are on a 5 point likert scale for each subscale: 0 (not at all like me), 1,2,3,4 (Extremely like me). Lower scores indicate greater severity of symptoms. Some items are reverse-scored. To score, average the items scores for each subscale to create the subscale raw score.
