A sample of 149 adults with a psychiatric inpatient readmission within 30 days of a prior psychiatric hospitalization was referred to an acute level of service coordination available at six provider organizations implementing B-CTI. These providers operate within the network of Community Care Behavioral Health, a not-for-profit managed care organization operating in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
The aim of this study is to test whether the adapted CTI-HD reduces the risk of homelessness for people with hoarding disorder who have been threatened with eviction.
The Center for Social Innovation (C4SI) partnered with CTI researchers at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health to design and implement an eight-week online instructor-led CTI training curriculum.
This project utilized a combination of research methods with 99 prisoners and members of their social support networks to adapt CTI for female inmates in the predominantly rural state of New Mexico. This was in preparation for a larger study of the effectiveness of the adapted CTI in enhancing mental health and criminal justice outcomes.
This is the first randomized trial to test CTI following incarceration. It tested the effectiveness of CTI in preventing re-offending and improving community integration for 215 men with serious mental illness, who had been released to Camden County from seven New Jersey prisons.
This quasiexperimental study evaluated the effectiveness of Project Connect, a pilot program with 97 homeless men, who were frequent users of a psychiatric emergency room (CPEP) in New York City. The goal was to engage the men with outpatient treatment and other community supports in order to promote recovery and decrease subsequent use of the CPEP. This was the first CTI program to use peer specialists to deliver the intervention.
This award-winning project used three evidence-based practices (CTI, Seeking Safety, and Wellness-Self Management) with the aim of positively impacting sustainable housing placements for 143 homeless women with mental illness and chemical abuse histories after discharge from a shelter in Brooklyn, NY.
The Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS) partnered with CTI researchers at the Columbia University Center for Homelessness Prevention Studies to design and implement an in-person training curriculum, consisting of two 4-hour training sessions followed by on-site consultation with each team. This study tested the effectiveness of the training in helping three agencies – The Bridge, Puerto Rican Family Institute (PRFI) and Common Ground Community – to understand and successfully implement the CTI model. This project was part of a larger effort to expand dissemination efforts on a national scale.
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 randomized trial evaluated a program that combined the Housing First model of rapid re-housing with Family CTI among 228 single-parent homeless families, where the mothers had a mental health and/or substance abuse problem. It tested the program’s effectiveness in improving the residential stability and mental health of the mothers and children. Families were followed over a 15-month period.
