Wolfson Clinical Spotlight: Standards in Diagnostic Assessments (STADIA) Randomised Control Trial in Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)

Professor Kapil Sayal will be presenting the findings and learnings from the recently-completed NIHR-funded “STADIA” trial in CAMHS. STADIA looked at the use and impact of an online-delivered Standardised Diagnostic Assessment tool for children and young people (aged 5-17 years) with emotional difficulties who had been referred to CAMHS.

This large (n=1225) national trial investigated the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of using a standardised diagnostic assessment tool, following the receipt of the referral into CAMHS, on children and young people’s service-related and clinical outcomes.
