ATTACH™ Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Intervention groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A quasi-experimental design was selected to more closely approximate service delivery models in agencies that do not typically employ control groups. Given promising findings (from seven ATTACH™ pilot studies), a randomized controlled trial design, even employing wait-list controls was deemed unacceptable and even unethical by patients, health care professionals and health system administrators in engagement activities surrounding the preparation of this proposal.
