Bipolar Disorder (BD) Clinical Trial in Dallas, TX

About This Bipolar Disorder (BD) Study in Dallas

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. Whether screening results can be used to identify early risk patterns and inform tailored follow-up recommendations. Participants may be involved in one or more study activities, including co-design of educational decision-aid content, feedback on decision-aid prototypes, beta testing of the decision aid, and remote youth mental health screening. The study does not assign treatment and does not change existing clinical care or clinic routines.
