Experimental Treatment

Group I: Peer Wellness Enhancement (WE Harambee)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

This project employs a pragmatic, stepped wedge experimental design in which 60 BHH participants are randomly assigned to one of 3 waves of WE Harambee implementation (20 in each wave) during the 2 year study. Participants in this arm receive the WE Harambee Wellness Enhancement and are enrolled in a Behavioral Health Home. WE Harambee is a 6-month peer-delivered whole health intervention intended to address the 8 dimensions of wellness and the social determinants of health.

Group II: Behavioral Health Home enrollmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In the stepped wedge experimental design, 40 participants at any time during the 2 year study are receiving only the Behavioral Health Home (BHH) intervention. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) established a "health home" option under Medicaid that serves enrollees with chronic conditions including serious mental illness and chronic physical illness.

What are the intended outcomes of this trial?

"This 21-month medical trial is designed to assess the self-reported sense of community among participants.
