简要总结
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a new Occupational Time Use Intervention designed to increase activity participation and improve meaning in the lives of people with serious mental illness living in the community.
详细描述
5 Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Teams from Kingston (n=2), Belleville (n=1), and Ottawa (n=2) will be involved in a 12 week randomized controlled trial of our Time Use Intervention. 20 subjects (4 subjects from each team) will participate in this pilot study and will be treated individually by their ACT team Occupational Therapist (1 OT per ACT Team). This pilot test will help to determine the clinical utility and efficacy of our treatment protocol.
Comparison: Standard ACT treatment with the Occupational Time Use Intervention vs. Standard ACT treatment
