CTI in the Transition from Hospital to Community, 2001-2007
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. Funded by NIMH.
FINDINGS:
- The prevalence of homelessness among participants receiving CTI was ~five times lower than among those receiving usual care. (Herman et al 2011)
- CTI was also associated with a significantly reduced risk of rehospitalization. (Tomita et al 2012)
