About this trial

The study will enroll 600 people with serious mental illness who receive services at Centerstone in KY or TN and will compare two different evidence-based self-management interventions: Integrated Illness Management and Recovery (I-IMR), a program developed by the study team at Dartmouth that trains people with serious mental illness on physical and mental health self-management, and the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP), a program largely focused on physical health self-management that has been used widely in the general population.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Serious Mental Illness (diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, or chronic depression with moderate impairment in functioning) receiving services at Centerstone(KY and TN)

Diagnosis of a chronic medical condition increasing risk of early mortality from cardiovascular or respiratory disease (e.g., diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, COPD, heart failure, tobacco dependence, obesity), and at least 1 ER visit or hospitalization within the past year or judgment by the treatment team of substantial need for illness self-management training.

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in Knowledge and skills in illness self-management using the Illness Management and Recovery Scale

Change in knowledge and skills for illness self-management. Range of scores from 15-75 with higher scores meaning better illness self-management.

Time frame
Change from Baseline to 12 months
2

Change in Patient Activation on the Patient Activation Measure (PAM)

Change in Patient Activation (engagement in health care). Maximum score of 100, higher scores meaning greater activation.

Time frame
Change from Baseline to 12 months
3

Change in Acute Hospital Events from Electronic Medical Record Review.

Change in the number of acute hospital events. At each assessment a combination of participant report and verified information from mental health clinics will be used to validate the number acute hospital events.

Time frame
Change from Baseline to 12 months
4

Knowledge and Behaviors for Preventing Catching and Spreading COVID-19 Scale

Change in score on this measure, which was developed as part of the study plan because no suitable scale existed to assess knowledge and safety behaviors for COVID-19. Scores range from 0-100%, with higher scores indicating greater knowledge and enactment of safety behaviors.

Time frame
Change from Baseline to 12 weeks
