Data. All data emergent from operation of the YouthCHAT application including results of YouthCHAT screening assessments.
Screen. A YouthCHAT survey, which is a screening assessment.
User. Clinician - A user who creates YouthCHAT screen invites and reviews results and Young Person - A user who undertake a YouthCHAT screen.
The YouthCHAT questionnaire is based on the HEEADSSS psychosocial assessment tool. Questions asked involve such topics as home life, drug/alcohol usage, sexual health, anxiety/depression, as well as other risky lifestyle behaviours.
In addition to storing the results of YouthCHAT screens, some personally identifiable information is stored, depending on what fields the clinician who creates the survey invite completes - this may include first name, surname, date of birth, student identifier and NHI. If an invite to complete a screen remotely has been sent, then mobile phone number or email address may also be stored.
Clinicians
The main person who will access the results of a YouthCHAT screen is the authorised Clinician who invites the Young Person to complete a screen. Additionally, a Clinician who is a staff member at the same clinic/site have access to the results of a screen. Any access to the results of a screen is recorded and is auditable. Clinicians have access to YouthCHAT if their clinical site is registered and full authentication is always required.
Young Person
A Young Person may request access to their data as well as request to have all personally identifiable information removed from their data. Requests should be made either directly to support@youthchat.co.nz or through the Clinician who invited them to complete a YouthCHAT screen. A Young Person may also request a full audit of all persons who may have accessed their data.
Researchers
Researchers from the University of Auckland have access to anonymised data in which all personal identifiers are removed. Such access is mediated via Kekeno Tech Ltd who is the approved provider of YouthCHAT.
