- Brief Summary
Recovery Roadmap: A Collaborative Multimedia Tool for Person-Centered Recovery Planning is a highly interactive web-based tool that provides guidance for providers and people in recovery, and promotes widespread implementation of Person-Centered Recovery Planning (PCRP). The Recovery Roadmap prototype was developed and tested by the Center for Social Innovation (C4), in partnership with Yale University's Program for Recovery and Community Health (PRCH), under a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (1R43MH100712). Phase II refined the prototype Roadmap to streamline content, provide additional handouts and exercises for providers and clients to complete together, expand the audio/video vignettes and case studies, and add interactive online coaching and support for providers. Phase II also involved a robust evaluation of the Roadmap, using a quasi-experimental design in a fully powered trial. Approximately 30 practitioners and 90 clients (two to three clients per practitioner) were recruited from a total of five Community Support Programs in Connecticut. The programs were randomly selected into one of two intervention waves (Wave 1 and Wave 2). Survey data for Wave 1 included a total of four surveys: a pre-observation period, post-observation/pre-intervention, a midpoint survey (after completion of online curriculum), and a post survey (after completion of the entire intervention, including coaching calls). Surveys for the Wave 2 study participants included a pre-intervention, midpoint, and post survey. Qualitative interviews were also completed with interviews with practitioners and and administrators/clinical supervisors in each agency. State level client administrative client data were also collected and analyzed. Data examined changes in knowledge related to PCRP, person centered planning practices, practitioner/client relationship, and overall feedback on the intervention. our team also conducted a social network analysis to examine any changes in the size and strength of their networks related to person centered planning before and after the intervention. This phase will culminate with the dissemination of findings and preparation for Phase III commercialization.
- Detailed Description
Person-Centered Recovery Planning (PCRP; also referred to as Patient-Centered Care Planning) is a field-tested intervention designed to maximize consumer choice and ownership of the treatment and recovery process. In Phase I of Recovery Roadmap: A Collaborative Multimedia Tool for Person-Centered Recovery Planning, the research team developed a prototype online tool to train providers and persons in recovery to understand and implement PCRP. The tool provided in-depth information and included interactive components (e.g., videos, fillable forms, case studies) to prepare users to partner effectively. The tool was pilot tested in two sites (one received the Recovery Roadmap only; the other received the tool plus a two-day in-person training) to obtain feedback about the Roadmap and determine its impact. The purpose of this Phase II SBIR study is to expand the Recovery Roadmap and conduct a fully powered study to determine the tool's effectiveness in training providers and supporting people in recovery in the PCRP process.
This proposed Phase II study design:
We propose a randomized stepped wedge design in which we will recruit a total of 30 practitioners and 90 persons in recovery (PIRs), 3-4 from each participating practitioner. Per the power analysis, 90 PIRs will have enough power to show statistical significance. We will:
* Randomize the sample into two intervention waves, Wave 1 and Wave 2.
* Do a T1 assessment with all practitioners and PIRs and then immediately begin the first 2-month component of Wave 1 Recovery Roadmap Intervention, i.e., the 5-unit, online PCRP curriculum, with both PIRs and practitioners (for Wave 1, T1 will be a Baseline assessment; for Wave 2, T1 will be a Pre-Baseline assessment). Total of 3 months, including assessment and completion of the curriculum, while Wave 2 completes an observation period.
* Do a T2 assessment (practitioners and PIRs) with both waves and launch the first component of intervention with Wave 2 (RR on-line training units only) while Wave 1 launches the second component of the RR intervention, i.e., practitioners (only) receiving 3 months of twice monthly coaching calls and an on-line Community of Practice. The series of web-based technical assistance (coaching) sessions are designed to reinforce PCRP key principles and practices as taught in the Recovery Roadmap and to optimize practitioners' use of/benefit from the web-based Community of Practice (COP). Wave 2 will have a total of 3 months, including its Baseline assessment and completion of the online curriculum. Wave 1 will have a total of 4 months, including the mid-point assessment for PIRs and practitioners and completion of coaching calls and COP for practitioners.
* Do a T3 Assessment (practitioners and PIRs). This will be, for Wave 1, a post-intervention assessment for PIRs and practitioners. For Wave 2, it will include a mid-point intervention assessment for PIRs and practitioners, with Wave 2 immediately beginning a second component of the intervention (3 months of twice monthly coaching calls and an online COP for practitioners). The series of web-based technical assistance sessions are designed to reinforce PCRP key principles and practices as taught in the Recovery Roadmap and to optimize practitioners' use of/benefit from the web-based Community of Practice. Wave 1 will have a total of 3 months, including assessments and a 2-month observation period. Wave 2 will have a total of 4 months, including the mid-point assessment for PIRs and practitioners and completion of coaching calls and COP for practitioners.
* Do a T4 Assessment (practitioners and PIRs) after Wave 2 has completed the COP. This is post intervention for Wave 2 and follow-up for Wave 1.
Hypotheses (for Aims 1 and 2):
H1: Providers in the RR condition will show statistically significant improvements in PCRP knowledge, skills, and provider-client relationships.
H2: Clients served by providers in the RR condition will show statistically significant improvements in treatment engagement and progress toward goals.
H3: Providers with higher levels of connectivity with their peers online will report sustained PCRP practices, compared with those with lower connectivity.

Data collection in Wave 1 will include one pre-test and three post-tests.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Person-Centered Care Questionnaire PreBaseline (pre-observation), Baseline (pre-intervention), Time 1 (upon completion of the 6 month intervention), Time 2 (6 month follow-up), Time 3 (12 month follow-up) Change in PCRP knowledge and skills using the Person-Centered Care Questionnaire (Provider Version) for providers and the Person-Centered Care Questionnaire (Person in Recovery (PIR) Version) for clients (Tondora \& Miller, 2009). The provider and client/PIR versions allow providers and clients/PIR to respond to slightly different items, but each study participant will have one reported PCCQ value at each time point.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Recovery Knowledge Inventory PreBaseline (pre-observation), Baseline (pre-intervention), Time 1 (upon completion of the 6 month intervention), Time 2 (6 month follow-up), Time 3 (12 month follow-up) Change in provider participant knowledge and attitude data on four domains: roles and responsibilities in recovery, non-linearity of the recovery process, roles of self definition and peers in recovery, and expectations regarding recovery (Bedregal et al., 2006).
Helping Relationship Inventory PreBaseline (pre-observation), Baseline (pre-intervention), Time 1 (upon completion of the 6 month intervention), Time 2 (6 month follow-up), Time 3 (12 month follow-up) Change in the relationship between the provider and client using the Helping Relationship Inventory-Worker for providers and the Helping Relationship Inventory-Client for clients (Poulin \& Young, 1997). Provider and client versions allow participants to respond to slightly different Helping Relationship Inventory (HRI) items, but each study participant will have one reported HRI value at each time point.
Recovery Markers Questionnaire PreBaseline (pre-observation), Baseline (pre-intervention), Time 1 (upon completion of the 6 month intervention), Time 2 (6 month follow-up), Time 3 (12 month follow-up) Change in client progress toward recovery (Ridgeway \& Press, 2004).
