Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Community Reinforcement and Family Training for Early Psychosis (CRAFT-EP) for families experiencing early psychosis and substance use delivered exclusively or primarily via telehealth (video conferencing).
Detailed Description
The intervention aims to improve treatment engagement, substance use patterns, and family wellbeing. To assess preliminary outcomes of the intervention, this study compares CRAFT-EP plus treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone. Family members will be randomized to CRAFT-EP + TAU or TAU alone. Data on family members and clients with psychosis will be collected for assessment purposes; if a client with psychosis does not have a family member participating in the study, the client with psychosis will be automatically be assigned to the TAU alone group. Total target enrollment is 40 family members and 40 clients with psychosis. Given that family members may participate without a corresponding client with psychosis due to fear of disclosing their participation in the study to the client or client lack of interest, and because the intervention works directly with family members and indirectly with clients, data collected from clients with or without a corresponding family member participating in the study will be hypothesis generating.
