The Right Question Project-Mental Health (RQP-MH) is a three-session health education intervention that teaches clients to participate effectively in mental health care. The methodology teaches clients to identify important issues of their illness or treatment, formulate questions, and devise plans to communicate and act in effective ways that address factors impacting their mental health care, with the expectation that this behavior will increase patient-provider communication and improve the therapeutic alliance between patient and provider. The investigators hypothesize that participants receiving the intervention will be more likely to engage and remain in mental health care, and that they will report higher activation and self-management scores as compared to control patients.
