DG20-- Mental Health Matters: Skills & Strategies for Research & Clinical Staff

Saturday, October 10, 2026
7:45 AM - 9:45 AM EDT
Food Available for Session Attendees
This session is designed to foster the alliance between clinical and research teams to identify and address mental health concerns of patients with cystic fibrosis. When CF patients in clinical trials have mental health concerns, the research coordinator is often the first to know as they are closely monitoring adverse events. The session will include review of common mental health screening tools and provide practical strategies for urgent management and follow-up with the clinical team. Attendees will learn from the anecdotal experiences of teams working together to meet the urgent needs of their patients. This session will also acknowledge the emotional impact that this type of research can have on the CF care and research team members, and highlight the importance of supportive, collaborative communication within the team.
