Study Summary

The overall aim of this program of research is to improve the continuity of care for patients with serious mental illness (SMI) by supporting a safer and more efficient bridge from hospital to outpatient care using a mobile device-delivered app called Transition-FOCUS (tFOCUS), which has previously been tested in community samples.
