Filter by:This randomized controlled study tests an adapted critical time intervention model for veterans discharged from a psychiatric inpatient unit. It is hypothesized that veterans on the inpatient unit who are assigned to such a community-based team will have shorter lengths of inpatient stay and better mental health. There have been few developments of community-based models of care in the post-deinstitutionalization era of short inpatient stays and the results of the study may inform how inpatient stays can be further reduced.
This is a randomized, controlled pilot study comparing the antidepressant fluoxetine with the second generation antipsychotic aripiprazole in approximately 10 subjects aged 12-25 at risk for developing psychosis. Our primary hypotheses are that compared to aripiprazole, fluoxetine will be better tolerated and will lead to greater improvement in symptoms at the end of 6 months of treatment.
The main object to this trial is to study the function of referral letters as a mean to coordinate the care process for adult people when referred from Primary Care to Specialised Mental Health Care. The study will explore if and to what degree the quality of these referral letters can be improved, and the potential improvement's impact on defined patient-, professional and organisational related outcomes. According to Medical Research Council guidelines for evaluating complex interventions, a stepwise design with the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used to conduct a controlled intervention study.
