Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The most important outcome will be the degree in which the CAre approach helps clients to achieve their rehabilitation goals. The validity and importance of these goals are first checked. After a year, we ask if they have achieved their goals and what merit it has had to them. Another important outcome is quality of life. Quality of life is measured with the extended Dutch version of the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile (Van Nieuwenhuizen et al., 1998). This standardized interview includes both objective and subjective aspects (satisfaction with) of quality of life regarding living situation; free time; finances; family; security; health; affect; positive and negative self-esteem, achievement and framework. Of importance is also the way in which the care fulfills needs and wishes regarding housing. The questionnaire that will be used, has been recently developed for research among homeless people. Finally, we make use of a CAre Fidelity questionnaire (Van Wijngaarden & Wilken, 2006). The degree in which social workers use the method will be measured on a scale from 1 (no fidelity) to 5 (maximum fidelity).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Psychiatric problems and addiction are frequently observed within the homeless population. It is known from previous research that these directly influence the quality of life. Therefore a screening instrument is used to establish if there are problems regarding mental health or addiction. This screener has been recently developed at the University of Nijmegen in cooperation with IVO, for research among the homeless.	—
