## Phase 2 Interface

### Top 3 Sources for Skill Distillation

1. **After Babel (T05-S005)** — Highest signal-to-noise ratio for the smartphone/social-media x youth-MH thesis. Haidt + Rausch provide data visualizations and cross-national comparisons that form the backbone of current policy debates. Essential for any skill addressing "why is youth MH worsening" framing.

2. **CASEL SEL Newsletter + SEL Exchange (T05-S001, T05-S016)** — The operational nerve center for SEL implementation. District case studies, program evaluation results, and the evolving SEL framework definition are critical for any skill focused on "what to do in schools."

3. **YRBSS + NSDUH (T05-S019, T05-S020)** — The two authoritative US datasets that anchor every quantitative claim about youth MH trends. Any skill making statistical assertions must be calibrated to these sources. NSDUH 2024 showing declining adolescent MDE/suicidality is a key narrative inflection point.

### New Figure Candidates from Sources

- **Zach Rausch** — Chief researcher at After Babel / NYU Tech & Society Lab. Produces the cross-national youth MH data visualizations that power Haidt's arguments. Increasingly visible as an independent voice in the field.
- **Danielle R. Crankfield** — 2026 ASCA School Counselor of the Year (Crofton High School, MD). Data-driven practice model worth tracking.
- **Anna S. Mueller, PhD** — Indiana University sociologist studying social roots of youth suicide (contagion, clusters). Featured on Social Work Podcast Ep 142.
- **Jacqueline Nesi, PhD** — Brown University researcher on social media and teen mental health. Featured on APA Speaking of Psychology.
- **Steph Johnson** — Host of School for School Counselors Podcast. Practitioner-influencer bridging independent voice and field-wide reach.

### New Tool Candidates from Sources

- **CDC YRBSS Data Explorer** (online tool for custom tables/maps/graphs from YRBS data) — potential integration for skill's data-lookup capability
- **CASEL Program Guide** (searchable database of evidence-based SEL programs) — curated program recommendations
- **SAMHSA Evidence-Based Practices Resource Center** — intervention lookup by condition and population
- **NASP PracticeWise / CPD portal** (nasp.inreachce.com) — continuing education catalog, session recordings

### Cold/Contrarian Signals

1. **NSDUH 2024 shows declining adolescent MDE and suicidality (2021-2024).** This contradicts the dominant "youth MH crisis is worsening" narrative. The drop in MDE from 20.8% to 15.4% among 12-17 year olds is the most encouraging stat in over a decade. Haidt's After Babel has not prominently featured this reversal — a tension worth monitoring.

2. **"School Counselor Gone Rogue" podcast appears inactive.** Despite being on recommended lists, no evidence of new episodes since ~2021. Signals that solo-practitioner podcasts in this niche have high attrition risk.

3. **Chinese youth MH education infrastructure gap.** Only one dedicated journal (《中小学心理健康教育》) serves the entire K-12 MH education field in China. Professional society (中国心理学会) annual meetings focus on general psychology research rather than applied school-based MH. The practitioner-facing source ecosystem in zh-CN is thin compared to EN.

4. **PISA well-being data shows life satisfaction declining in 19/21 European countries (2015-2018).** Pre-pandemic, pre-smartphone-panic. Suggests structural causes beyond social media may be at play — a colder read than After Babel's framing.

5. **OECD report "Child, Adolescent and Youth Mental Health in the 21st Century" (Apr 2026, 90 pages)** — very recent publication that may contain cross-national policy comparisons not yet absorbed by the English-language practitioner ecosystem.
