Note:
SAMs 1.1.1. IRB required. The proposed research study for Project School Mental Health involves human subjects. The human subjects will be students, who are minors, ages five to 18, in high-need schools: I. C. Evans Elementary (kindergarten through second grade students), Burkburnett Middle School (sixth grade through eighth grade students), Burkburnett High School (ninth grade through twelfth grade students), and Gateway Student Support Center (kindergarten through twelfth grade students). The students will be identified by the school’s Student Support Team and Response to Intervention Team as Tier 2 and Tier 3 students, which means the students require targeted or intensive social/emotional/behavioral support. The proposed research study will contribute to the field of school counseling by revealing interventions in high-need schools that could increase student attendance, decrease student behavior issues, and increase student mental health wellness. If the interventions have a significant effect on students, the justification could be made to hire additional counselors in high-need schools. The potential risks to subjects are minimal, and the benefits of the study outweigh the potential risks involved. Benefits include that subjects would receive the individualized mental health support they need to help them succeed in school.
