CTI Case Management of Homeless Veterans after Psychiatric Hospitalization, 2001-2004
The authors used a pre-post cohort design to compare two groups of homeless veterans with serious mental illness after discharge from eight VA medical centers across five states: 1) 278 veterans recruited before CTI was implemented; and 2) 206 veterans who were offered CTI. Funded by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
FINDINGS:
- Veterans receiving CTI had on average 19% more days housed in each 90-day reporting period over the one-year follow-up. They also reported lower substance use and psychiatric problems.
