FOCUS Bipolar: Families Opening Conversations for Understanding Signs
NCT07622927
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
Bipolar disorder often runs in families, but early symptoms in youth can go unrecognized for years. This project evaluates a structured, family-centered approach to informed screening for youth ages 7-21 who have a biological parent with bipolar disorder. The main questions addressed by this project are: Whether a co-designed video decision aid improves caregiver understanding of bipolar disorder genetic risk and supports informed decisions about youth screening. Whether remote mental health screening tools are feasible and acceptable for youth with familial risk for bipolar disorder.
