Wilder Research
In 2016, the University of Washington's School Mental Health Assessment, Research, and Training (SMART) Center launched a three-year study examining the feasibility, effectiveness, and efficiency of a Brief Intervention Strategy for School Mental Health Clinicians (BRISC). SMART partnered with Wilder Research and the University of Maryland to collect data in three states, including Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington. This report presents background information about BRISC and key findings from the study, with a focus on Minnesota. Overall, clinicians reported favorable views of the BRISC model, noting that it may be particularly useful for students with fewer or less complex needs and for addressing student concerns quickly. In addition, students from both groups improved over time, with BRISC students showing slightly more favorable outcomes at the six month time point. Lastly, students generally viewed their clinician favorably, though BRISC students were less satisfied with their counselor's qualities than treatment-as-usual (TAU) students.
