Mental health workers and local officials from the Netherlands in met in March with researchers from Columbia University and several provider organizations involved with CTI implementation in NYC. Part of an ongoing collaboration between researchers and providers in the US and the Netherlands, this was the third visit to the city by Dutch providers interested in learning about CTI and other innovative services for homeless persons. A national CTI conference in the Netherlands is tentatively planned for November 2010. A link to the Netherlands CTI website is here. (photo by Eve Vagg)

The Institute on Psychiatric Services, an annual meeting of community-based psychiatrists organized by the American Psychiatric Association, was the site of a well-attended symposium on CTI held on October 11, 2009. The symposium, organized by Bert van Hemert of the ParnassiaBavo Group and Leiden University in the Netherlands and Dan Herman of New York State Psychiatric Institute & Columbia University, featured presentations by researchers studying adaptations of CTI in diverse settings including US prisons (Jeffrey Draine) and community-based mental health clinics in Rio De Janeiro (Elie Valencia). Other speakers included Lewis Opler, who reported on the impact of CTI on psychiatric symptoms in two US trials. Sarah Conover of New York State Psychiatric Institute & Columbia University served as discussant.

A team of mental health workers and researchers from the Netherlands visited during the week of September 15 to meet with staff from Columbia University and several provider organizations involved with CTI implementation in New York City. Adaptation and testing of the CTI model has been underway for several years in the Netherlands where there are currently two large-scale research trials currently in progress. We anticipate ongoing collaboration as these projects progress. For those who read Dutch, the Netherlands CTI website is here.

CTI has been added to the Best Practices Portal for Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention. The portal, maintained by the Public Health Agency of Canada, is intended to improve policy and program decision-making by enabling access to the best available evidence on chronic disease prevention and health promotion.

German researchers based at Ulm University are conducting a multi-site randomized trial testing a brief intervention intended to ehance continuity of care for high utilizers of psychiatric services following discharge from inpatient treatment. Although the research team notes that the study was partially inspired by CTI, the model they are employing differs from CTI in its emphasis on discharge planning and follow-up monitoring rather than provision of direct staff support during the post-discharge period. The researchers hope that the intervention will lead to a reduction in future inpatient stays and better quality of life and clinical outcome. Details on the study design were reported recently in BMC Health Services Research.
