Study procedures
Physicians will identify youth who meet criteria for cSLE, introduce the study, and then study staff will speak with the family to obtain consent/assent. If study staff are not physically present, virtual consent procedures will be conducted via phone and REDCap’s eConsent Framework to minimize patient risk. After consent, study staff will conduct a psychosocial screening to determine eligibility (~ 5 min), as well as a baseline assessment with qualifying youth (see Fig. Study Design and Timeline. After consenting, participants will be screened for study eligibility. If eligible, participants will complete a baseline assessment and will then be randomized to TEACH + TAU or medical TAU alone. All participants will complete a post assessment approximately eight weeks after baseline. If they were randomized to TAU alone, they will be able to participate in TEACH + TAU after the post assessment is completed. An additional follow-up (20 weeks from baseline) will also be conducted with all participants
