What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the impact of psychiatric disorders and psychotropic medications on the sexual health of adolescents and young adults. It involves a mixed-methods approach, beginning with a quantitative survey of patients in psychiatric care, followed by qualitative interviews with young people and caregivers. Based on the findings, tailored training interventions for psychiatric care teams will be developed and implemented. The study will then reassess the situation to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in improving discussions around sexual health.
