Summary
Investigators aim to develop and evaluate a culturally informed family motivational engagement strategy (FAMES) and implementation toolkit for coordinated specialty care (CSC) programs for first episode psychosis. First, 5 family member participants will be recruited into a three-month trial of FAMES and implementation toolkit. The investigators will then conduct a 16-month non-randomized, stepped-wedge trial with 50 family members from 5 CSC programs in community-based mental health clinics.
Description
FAMES involves three distinct and revolving components - early, continuous, and motivational contact - that incorporate motivational techniques and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5TH Edition (DSM-5) Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI).
The overarching objective of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a brief provider-led FAmily Engagement Motivational Strategy (FAMES) and its accompanying implementation toolkit. The investigators will also preliminary examine whether FAMES improves family engagement and retention in treatment, and motivation.
A total of 50 participants with a loved one enrolled in CSC program for FEP will be recruited from five CSC programs in Washington State to take part in a non-randomized stepped-wedge pilot trial. Each CSC program will represent a cluster and serve as its own control. A two-month implementation transition period will occur at each CSC program and during which providers will be introduced to the intervention using the implementation toolkits and trained to conduct FAMES. A 12-month open cohort design will be utilized to recruit approximately 50 family members during the study period.
