Brief Summary:
A variety of models of psychiatric hospital alternative care have been developed over the past several decades San Diegos Short-Term Acute Residential Treatment START model is one of the best established of these alternatives comprising a network of 6 facilities with a total of 77 beds Although veterans have been among those served at START programs for many years no previous study of START or any other model has focused specifically on veterans
Detailed Description:
Background
A variety of models of psychiatric hospital alternative care have been developed over the past several decades San Diegos Short-Term Acute Residential Treatment START model is one of the best established of these alternatives comprising a network of 6 facilities with a total of 77 beds Although veterans have been among those served at START programs for many years no previous study of START or any other model has focused specifically on veterans
Objectives
The study tested the hypotheses that veterans treated in a START program would demonstrate greater improvement in symptoms and quality of life as well as greater satisfaction with treatment and lower costs of care than veterans treated at the VA inpatient unit
Methods
This study includes elements of both efficacy and effectiveness studies VA psychiatric unit treatment and START are compared in a randomized trial with follow up of subjects at 2 6 and 12 months as they experience real-world treatment-as-usual Symptoms functioning quality of life and satisfaction with services are assessed on multiple standardized measures as well as by qualitative assessments
Status
Final report is under preparation
