Study Arms (2)
Experimental Group: HYPE Services
EXPERIMENTALThe experimental arm will receive the HYPE intervention for 12 months.
Control Group: Enhanced Academic Services as Usual
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe control arm will receive a special personalized packet of resources available on campus and off-campus within a 10-mile radius, as "enhanced academic services as usual."
Interventions
Participants will receive intervention for 12 months which includes weekly meetings with a Supported Employment/Supported Education Specialist (HYPE Specialist). During the weekly meetings, the HYPE Specialist will review each participant's education and employment goals, and deliver individualized support relevant to those goals which include use of structured HYPE tools and worksheets as needed.
Participants receive a 12 week Focused Skill and Strategy Training (FSST), a structured cognitive remediation intervention.
One hour meetings every semester to review individual academic needs and review list of available on campus resources to best meet the student's needs.

- STUDY PROTOCOL
- Time Frame
- Data will be shared within 3 years of the completion of the study (estimated 2024-2027)
- Access Criteria
- If individuals outside of the study team (e.g. grad students) want data access they need to submit a formal request and if approved, be added to the IRB protocol \& complete all necessary human subjects research certifications. They will be required to sign data use agreements. Any external researchers must sign a user agreement form before obtaining data. Data resulting from this project will be distributed at no cost. The user agreement is a UMMS requirement and this procedure is similar to those used by similar projects. The user agreement includes a detailed description of limitations on the redistribution/use of the data. External users are also required to limit publications to topics indicated in the agreement. Publications resulting from using data will reference the source as provided in agreement form; recommended citations will be provided. An investigator/Project Director will monitor dataset use to ensure data are handled properly and utilized for original purposes.
Yes, individual deidentified participant data will be shared to ICPSR per funder (NIDILRR) regulations. Datasets will include: screening data (eligible participants only), baseline data, follow-up time 1 data, follow-up time 2 data, follow-up time 3 data, transcript data. Each dataset will share the same unique identifier (study ID) as well as date the data was collected. Codebooks (PDF format) and data dictionaries (CSV or TXT) will also be shared.
