MH RRTP completion will be defined as a regular discharge from the program and determined from the VA's Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW). | 12-month period prior to, and ending 15 months after, study enrollment | |
Secondary | Change in Community Integration Measure (CIM) | Patient's self-report perspective of their integration into their home and community are scored on a 5-point scale.

Secondary | Change in Affiliations with Antisocial Peers (Measures of Criminal Attitudes and Associates ? MCAA) | Changes in patients' self-report of criminal associations. Part A of the MCAA is intended to quantify criminal associations. In Part A, respondents are asked to recall the four adults in the community with whom they spend the most free time. For each adult, they then indicate how much of their free time is spent in their associate's company. The respondent then answers four questions regarding the degree of criminal involvement of their associates: (a) Has this person ever committed a crime; (b) Does this person have a criminal record; (c) Has this person ever been to jail? and (d) Has this person tried to involve you in a crime? From this information, a measure of criminal associates can be calculated. The Number of Criminal Friends is calculated by totaling the number of friends for which the respondent answers yes to any of the questions of criminal involvement. | Baseline, 6-months, 15-months |
