Not Applicable

Withdrawn

• Conditions: First Episode Psychosis (FEP)
• Interventions: Behavioral: CSC Usual Care; Behavioral: PPN

• Registration Number: NCT04018521
• Lead Sponsor: NYU Langone Health

Brief Summary

This study proposes to adapt an evidence based peer parent navigator (PPN) intervention, called Parent Connectors, in which trained and supervised PPNs deliver weekly telephone-based support for six to nine months to parents or caregivers of all newly enrolled youth or young adults (Y/YA) in FEP services. This PPN model will be used to enhance the delivery of Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) for Y/YA in New York's state program for FEP, called OnTrackNY (OTNY). This research project has potential to add value to the CSC model through the inclusion of a feasible, low burden intervention that may improve family participation in services and Y/YA outcomes. Using random assignment, this study will examine the feasibility and preliminary impact of an accelerator strategy-the inclusion of peer parent navigators or PPNs-in CSC teams.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient Activation Measure (PAM)	9 Months	100-point quantifiable scale determining patient engagement in healthcare
Family Empowerment Scale (FES)	9 Months	A 34 item self reported instrument designed to measure empowerment status. The scale measures levels of empowerment, such as family, service system and community, and is rated on a likert scale, scale, ranging from1 (not true at all) to 5 (very true).
