Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of IDEAL Goals sessions received by persons with serious mental illness (SMI) at the community mental health program | baseline to 18 months | Main effects of implementation strategies defined as those who attend sessions that are assigned to the most intensive strategies (Replicating Effective Programs (REP), Coaching, and Facilitation) compared to the least intensive (REP only). The investigators will use electronic health record data on all clients enrolled in the behavioral health home at a participating organization to assess sessions attended. These individuals are not formally enrolled into the trial; their data, obtained under a waiver of informed consent, comprise this outcome. |
