Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this project is to increase the empirical understanding of the development, implementation and effectiveness of interventions for young people transitioning from societal care to independent living. The project examines the effect of interventions and how change mechanisms relate to a range of outcomes. In a pilot project, the investigators developed an intervention in collaboration with municipal social workers, section heads and organizational developers. In another pilot project, the investigators studied whether the content of empirically tested interventions in the USA can be generalized to a Swedish context. These two projects have resulted in a Swedish intervention: My choice - my way! Previous research shows that young people who are placed in social care are a particularly vulnerable group. Swedish social places little attention to what happens to prepare young people for leaving care. There are currently no interventions in Sweden that have empirical support of their effectiveness for this group. The aim of the project is to develop practical and empirical understanding of how interventions for young people placed in societal care in Sweden can be developed and implemented. The project takes place in close collaboration with municipalities and other youth serving organizations. Short-term, long-term and implementation effects are investigated by comparing My choice - my way! with usual services. The comparisons will shed light on practice components and change mechanisms related to outcomes and thus important to take into account in the future development of interventions. The outcomes will shed light on a range of self-reported outcomes, as well as register-based outcomes such as education, employment and crime. The analyses also include health economic outcomes. In addition, the attitudes of social workers and youth and organizational implementation initiatives will be investigated. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
