Two randomized trials were funded by the same grant:
1. The Homeless Sector Trial assessed the effectiveness of CTI in improving housing and other outcomes in people from nine adult homeless shelters.
2. The Women’s Shelter Sector Trial assessed the effectiveness of CTI in improving quality of life in women from eight domestic violence shelters.
After the encouraging results of the pilot, the investigators conducted a full-scale randomized trial at three prisons in Manchester, Leeds and Brixton to test the effectiveness of CTI in improving engagement with services and reducing re-offending.
This pilot randomized trial tested the feasibility of two different models of implementing CTI with mentally ill men upon release from prisons in London and Manchester: 1) prison-based and 2) community-based with the CTI manager visiting the prison.
