Evaluation of Telehealth Services on Mental Health Outcomes for People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
NCT05336955 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Roughly 40% of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have mental health needs, which is twice the national average. Nevertheless, there is dearth of evidenced-based mental health treatment for youth and young adults with IDD. The disparity in access to mental health care places those with IDD at greater risk of crisis service use. While telemental health studies demonstrate potential to enhance access to care, little of this research includes those with IDD, or crisis prevention and intervention. This project will refine and evaluate telemental health services for youth and young adults with IDD delivered within START (Systemic, Therapeutic, Assessment, Resources, and Treatment), a national, evidence-based model of crisis prevention and intervention for people with IDD. The study will begin with stakeholder feedback (service recipients, families, and providers) regarding telemental health services (Aim 1). Results will be used to refine the intervention. Our team will then compare telemental health versus in-person START services in a randomized control trial (Aim 2). To our knowledge, this will be the first trial of a telemental health crisis program for the IDD population. The final goal is to understand if outcomes vary across subpopulations (Aim 3) and to identify potential disparities. If found, the investigators will work with service users, families and providers to develop a strategy to address identified disparities in outcomes. The study will be executed by an interdisciplinary team of experts engaged with stakeholder partners. Understanding the benefits of specific telemental health methods has important implications to the design of interventions, within and outside of START. This telemental health study offers promise to address disparities in access to mental health care for people with IDD.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05336955
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05336955 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 500 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of New Hampshire, which has 5 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Developmental Disability appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Intake and quarterly assessment: is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05336955 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
