Center for Team Effectiveness to Accelerate EBP Implementation in Children’s Mental Health Services (TEAMS)
Principal Investigator(s): Lauren Brookman-Frazee, Ph.D. UC San Diego, Gregory Aaarons, Ph.D. UC San Diego
Directed by Lauren Brookman-Frazee, Ph.D. and Gregory Aarons, Ph.D., the new ImplementatioN Science and Team Effectiveness in Practice (IN STEP) Children’s Mental Health Research Center at UC San Diego will develop and test team-based implementation strategies to improve services for children with mental health and developmental needs across systems including schools, specialty mental health, pediatric health care, and child welfare.

Adapting and Implementing an Integrated Care Model for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Psychiatric Comorbidity
Principal Investigator(s): Nicole Stadnick, Ph.D., MPH UC San Diego
The study used implementation science theory and methods and a research-community partnership approach to: 1) identify targets to improve mental health screening and linkage to mental health services in primary care for children with autism, 2) adapt integrated care procedures into “Access To Tailored Autism INtegrated Care,” ATTAIN, to facilitate identification of mental health problems and linkage to evidence-based care for youth with autism, and 3) conduct an open trial feasibility pilot test of ATTAIN in pediatric primary care.

CO-CREATE-Ex: Community-engaged Optimization of COVID-19 Rapid Evaluation And TEsting Experiences
Principal Investigator(s): Nicole Stadnick, Ph.D., MPH UC San Diego, Louise Laurent, Ph.D. UC San Diego, Borsika Rabin, Ph.D. UC San Diego
Other Collaborator(s): Global Action Research Center, San Ysidro Health
In our Phase I RADx-UP project, UC San Diego partnered with San Ysidro Health, a federally qualified health center, and the Global Action Research Center, a social change organization, to co-create and demonstrate the impact of a PCR-based COVID-19 testing program in San Ysidro, one of the most impacted areas from COVID-19 in San Diego County. To date, we have tested >10,000 community members (92% Latino) and received requests to scale-out the testing program to additional primary care clinic sites. In this Phase III proposal, we will extend work with our Phase I community and clinical partners to refine, specify, implement, and evaluate an implementation strategy bundle that optimizes COVID-19 testing, expanding beyond current PCR testing to FDA-authorized COVID-19 rapid antigen testing.

Scaling and Sustaining COVID-19 Vaccination through Meaningful Community Engagement and Care Coordination for Underserved Communities
Principal Investigator(s): Nicole Stadnick, Ph.D., MPH UC San Diego, Borsika Rabin, Ph.D. UC San Diego
Other Collaborator(s): Global Action Research Center, San Ysidro Health
The goal of this study is to co-refine, test, and scale a multicomponent health program to address the multi-level barriers to vaccine uptake and engagement in primary and secondary preventative healthcare in immigrant, refugee, Latino, and Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) communities in San Diego.
