Connecting People Implementation Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to investigate if the Connecting People (CP) Programme can be implemented by social care practitioners with high fidelity in community mental health teams (CMHTs) and improve the resourcefulness of social networks of people with mental health problems.

Clinical Trial Description

People with mental health problems require a range of support to help them in their recovery. Alongside medical and psychological support, people may need support with engaging in meaningful activities and developing relationships. The focus of this study is on advancing understanding of how services can improve the support they offer to people around social relationships.

In a previous study, a Connecting People programme was developed which supported people to make plans for developing their network of contacts in the community. When delivered fully, it helped people feel more included in society and better able to access advice, information and practical support from people they know.

This research project aims to look at how Connecting People can be effectively established within community mental health teams by social workers trained as part of the 'Think Ahead' initiative. The investigators want to know how to implement the Connecting People programme well, assessing whether tools such as manuals, guidance and specific training help or hinder this process. The investigators want to know when implemented, compared to standard care, whether the programme benefits mental health service users and is cost-effective.

The study will last 15 months and is organised into two phrases:

1. Implementation of the programme in community mental health teams in five areas in England. Outcome data will be collected from each participating team and results will be compared between teams who implemented the programme and those that only offered standard care.

2. Exploration of how successful implementation was across the five areas, using a check-list and in-depth individual and group interviews to understand the features that supported or hindered the process. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
