It will also determine the effectiveness of a brief motivational interviewing intervention designed to help veterans receive these services.', 'detailedDescription': 'Randomized clinical trials and naturalistic studies show that among patients meeting criteria for chronic mental illness, those participating in vocational rehabilitation (VR) have significantly reduced days of inpatient hospitalization. Unfortunately, the majority of eligible adults fail to enter VR and almost half of those who do, drop out or are involuntarily discharged. The reasons for nonparticipation and drop out and their impact on rehabilitation outcomes are poorly understood.\n\nThe study will provide needed naturalistic data documenting:\n\n1. the way in which barriers function to reduce entry to services and contribute to the high rate of dropout,\n2. the outcomes associated with different patterns of participation, and\n3. relative rates of entry and retention in a non-VHA VR exemplar of the Intensive Placement and Support (IPS) model at the Manchester Mental Health Center in Manchester, New Hampshire.\n\nWhile we need to know more about these "barriers" in order to develop the range of appropriate interventions, the enhancement of client motivation for work and rehabilitation is likely to have a positive impact both on entry and sustained compliance. We are proposing a random assignment single blind trial of a brief Motivational Interviewing (MI) intervention designed to address the low entry and retention rates of veterans with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) in Veterans Health Administration\'s (VHA) VR services.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '55 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Current diagnosis of serious mental illness, present for at least 2 years\n* Is unemployed or underemployed\n* Current episode of un/underemployment is at least 3 months\n* Enrolled to receive services at study site\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Over the age of 55\n* Non-English speaker\n* Mini-Mental score of less than 20\n* Planning to move more than 30 miles from study site in the next 18 months\n* Previously screened for this study\n* Currently or previously involved in other research studies which may impact variables relevant to this study'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00223834', 'briefTitle': 'Pathways to Vocational Rehabilitation: Enhancing Entry and Retention', 'organization': {'class': 'FED', 'fullName': 'VA Office of Research and Development'}, 'officialTitle': 'Pathways to Vocational Rehabilitation: Enhancing Entry and Retention', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'E3436R'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': '1', 'description': 'Single session orientation to available services', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: single session of Motivational Interviewing']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'single session of Motivational Interviewing', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'armGroupLabels': ['1']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '01730', 'city': 'Bedford', 'state': 'Massachusetts', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital, Bedford', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 42.49065, 'lon': -71.27617}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Charles Drebing, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital, Bedford'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'US Department of Veterans Affairs', 'class': 'FED'}, 'responsibleParty': {'oldNameTitle': 'Drebing, Charles - Principal Investigator', 'oldOrganization': 'Department of Veterans Affairs'}}}}
