In this study, the investigators plan to evaluate the effect of the Clairity process in a university setting. The Clairity process will be implemented as a 15-20 minute between-the-visit mental health check-in between a patient and clinical staff. Clairity will record and analyze patient speech using artificial intelligence algorithms developed for early detection and monitoring of mental health and suicidal risk. This study will be the first to return Clairity results real time to the clinician. The study employs a mixed-methods design, using rolling recruitment of clients of the Xavier University Psychological services clinic (XUPS) during the 2022-2023 school year. Study-trained clinical research coordinators will begin enrolling participants after completing the online protocol training and brief human subject's protection training.
This is a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the Clairity tool within the university setting for students who are being seen by a mental health provider.
