Filter by:Recovery Roadmap: A Collaborative Multimedia Tool for Person-Centered Recovery Planning is a highly interactive web-based tool that provides guidance for providers and people in recovery, and promotes widespread implementation of Person-Centered Recovery Planning (PCRP). The Recovery Roadmap prototype was developed and tested by the Center for Social Innovation (C4), in partnership with Yale University's Program for Recovery and Community Health (PRCH), under a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (1R43MH100712). Phase II refined the prototype Roadmap to streamline content, provide additional handouts and exercises for providers and clients to complete together, expand the audio/video vignettes and case studies, and add interactive online coaching and support for providers. Phase II also involved a robust evaluation of the Roadmap, using a quasi-experimental design in a fully powered trial. Approximately 30 practitioners and 90 clients (two to three clients per practitioner) were recruited from a total of five Community Support Programs in Connecticut. The programs were randomly selected into one of two intervention waves (Wave 1 and Wave 2). Survey data for Wave 1 included a total of four surveys: a pre-observation period, post-observation/pre-intervention, a midpoint survey (after completion of online curriculum), and a post survey (after completion of the entire intervention, including coaching calls). Surveys for the Wave 2 study participants included a pre-intervention, midpoint, and post survey. Qualitative interviews were also completed with interviews with practitioners and and administrators/clinical supervisors in each agency. State level client administrative client data were also collected and analyzed. Data examined changes in knowledge related to PCRP, person centered planning practices, practitioner/client relationship, and overall feedback on the intervention. our team also conducted a social network analysis to examine any changes in the size and strength of their networks related to person centered planning before and after the intervention. This phase will culminate with the dissemination of findings and preparation for Phase III commercialization.
Profound multiple disabilities also called in French polyhandicap are defined by the combination of a deep mental disability and severe motor deficit with extreme restriction of autonomy. Life in institution for people with profound multiple disabilities induces emotional and educative deficiency and often conducts to behavioral disorders. These behavioral disorders also impact on quality of life and feelings of caregivers. An intensive multimodal educative program proposed to patients with profound multiple disabilities can improve their psychic well-being, reduce chronic pain and improve also quality of life and feelings of caregivers. The intensive multimodal educative program will be compared to the usual practice of educative program.
Children who are at risk for problems in school may do better if they and their parents are taught how to communicate with each other between age 3 and 6 when the children enter kindergarten. Three groups of 3 year olds who are in Head Start in the Nashville area will be randomized with their parents to either a 3 year program of skill building or to a control (Head Start only). The children will be tested at the end of the 3 year study and 6 months, 1 year and 2 years later.
