dc.description.abstractMeasurement-based care (MBC) describes the process of routinely using outcome measurement to guide treatment decisions supporting Patient-centered Care (PCC). Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) play a vital role in MBC supporting the delivery of PCC. Despite the evidence on the benefits of using PROMs in clinical care, some barriers hinder the selection of the PROMs, such as the different age groups for youth and poor consensus on which measurements are best practices and most appropriate for this population. This mixed-methods, multi-phased study addresses some of these gaps by focusing on identifying, selecting, and prioritizing the PROMs to be implemented in the clinical care of youth with depression and/or anxiety to inform the MBC program at the Summit Center. The first phase of this thesis work includes three stages: 1) a systematic review to identify, evaluate, and synthesize the global evidence on the use of PROMs in youth mental health clinical care 2) In the second stage, we create and combine a database of PROMs from different sources. In the third step, we selected the top 10 PROMs to prioritize in Phase 2. The selected top 10 PROMs were: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Child Behavioral Checklist (CBC), Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ), KIDSCREEN 10, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCAD 25), Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAC), Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorder (SCARED), Strength and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ), and The Young Person’s Core (YP-CORE). Then, in Phase 2, we conducted the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) with youth living with depression and anxiety and their family caregivers to prioritize these top 10 PROMs. The top PROMs ranked by youth were RCAD 25, BDI, YP-CORE, SCAS, SCARED, CBCL, PedsQl, SDQ, KIDSCREEN 10, and CHQ, while families/caregivers top-ranked RCAD 25, SCARED, YP-CORE, KIDSCREEN 10, SCAS, CBCL, PedsQl, SDQ, BDI, and CHQ. In summary, the findings of this study informed the MBC program at the Summit Center and presented an excellent opportunity to leverage the findings of this study to support the scale-up implementation of PROMs in the clinical care for youth living with mental health in Alberta.
