IPS Trial Summary

This trial will pilot an evidence-based practice, IPS, to help people with mental illness succeed in competitive employment in Latin America, which is currently lacking services. It will be evaluated by clients, providers, and stakeholders.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with mental illness in Jalisco, Mexico who want paid work but haven't had a job in the last 3 months. They must be getting help from CAISAME-EB, can't use other job services during the study, and need to have been to two info sessions before joining.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests Individual Placement and Support (IPS), a program designed to help people with mental illness find and keep regular jobs. It's being adapted for Mexico and will include interviews and surveys over a year to see how well it works there.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since IPS is an employment support program rather than a medical treatment, it doesn't have physical side effects like drugs do. However, participants might experience stress or anxiety as they seek competitive employment.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Adapted IPSExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The IPS program adaptation process, will be conducted with 2 teams of providers, each consisting of an employment specialist, a case manager: psychologist, social worker and a psychiatrist, who will work in coordination to provide IPS services (each specialist will have between 15 and 20 clients). The IPS team will consist of providers and will be trained by the Research Adaptation Team in consultation and supervised. Weekly case-oriented supervision with a trained IPS supervisor, biweekly telephone contact, and telephone consultations as needed will help the IPS teams maintain high fidelity IPS. Following randomization, individuals assigned to receive IPS will be assigned to an IPS treatment team and will be introduced directly to their assigned case managers. Case management and IPS staff will be in close proximity to facilitate both IPS staff attendance at case management team meetings and the ongoing interaction necessary for efficient IPS implementation.

Group II: Usual Services.Active Control1 Intervention

Generally, providers of rehabilitation Usual Care for PSMI at CAISAME-EP include 2 full-time psychologists, 2 full-time social workers, a half-time occupational therapist, and a half-time psychiatrist. This team, however, also provides services to clients with other mental conditions (e.g., substance use). As a result, the Usual Care services are of lower intensity than IPS and omit most of the key ingredients of the intervention. Moreover, it does not follow a standardized manual/protocol. The Usual Care team also offers other services such as psychiatric medication, individual and group psychotherapy, and psychoeducation for clients and relatives.
