Following on the encouraging results of the first trial with men discharged from the shelter, this second randomized trial tested CTI with 150 previously homeless adults with serious mental illness following discharge from two psychiatric hospitals.
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.
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.
This randomized trial of 135 veterans with serious mental illness assessed the effectiveness of a brief CTI intervention (B-CTI) in attaining a limited outcome, namely to increase outpatient visits during the first three months after discharge from psychiatric hospital.
This first randomized trial of the nine-month CTI model assessed its effectiveness in preventing homelessness among 96 men with serious mental disorder being placed into community housing from a large shelter in New York City. The men were followed up for 18 months.
