Study Summary

This trial will help determine if an evidence-based practice called Critical Time Intervention can help improve housing outcomes for homeless Veterans.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Veterans who have experienced homelessness and are part of the Grant and Per Diem (GPD) case management aftercare program in 7 Veterans Integrated Service Networks. It's designed to help them as they transition into housing by providing six months of specialized case management.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing Critical Time Intervention (CTI), a time-limited support strategy, along with External Facilitation and Replicating Effective Programs, to improve the housing stability of homeless-experienced Veterans in the GPD program.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves social support interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience stress or emotional discomfort during their transition.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the primary focus of this research initiative?

"This trial's primary assessment, spreading over a timespan of 6-18 months after implementation start date, is to measure Fidelity to CTI. Secondary objectives involve evaluating the Cost of CTI as Implemented (monthly cost per GPD case management Veteran served), Hospitalisation rates (number of days between entry into GPD and hospitalisation; number of bed days) and also the Cost of Implementation Strategies (dollars spent on REP versus enhanced REP)."

Answered by AI

Does Critical Time Intervention present any risks to its recipients?
