The Youth Experiences and Health (YEAH) Study is looking for early warning signs that might help doctors predict which teenagers will need hospital care for mental health issues. Researchers will ask 1,000 teens starting treatment at three Finnish hospitals to fill out questionnaires about their symptoms, experiences, and strengths. The study will then track these teens over time using hospital records to see which warning signs were most helpful in spotting who needed more intensive care.
Right now, it's hard for doctors to know which teens are at highest risk for serious mental health crises. This study aims to create a tool that can help mental health clinics quickly identify which young patients might need extra support, so they can get help before things get worse.

When you start treatment at one of the three participating hospitals, you'll be invited to fill out detailed questionnaires about your feelings, experiences, symptoms, and strengths as part of your regular intake process. You'll also complete a structured interview with a clinician. Then, the researchers will quietly follow your medical records over time to see how you're doing and whether you needed hospital care—but you won't need to do anything else or come back for special visits.
