About this study

Official title: Individual Versus System Orientated Interventions in Handling Drug Related Problems in People With Schizophrenia

The purpose of this study is to determine whether individual and/ or system orientated interventions can help the problem of people with schizophrenia dropping out of their drug treatment

Read the detailed description

50% of people with schizophrenia do not take the prescribed medication leading to repeating relapses with loss of social and cognitive skills.

The individual intervention is based on "Motivational Interviewing" by Miller and "Concordance Strategies" by R. Gray.It is a cognitive behavioral therapy.

The system orientated intervention is building on principles from quality assurance and clinical risk managing. It seeks to improve the quality in the medical treatment by use of standards, monitoring, audit and root cause analysis,and thereby trying to find weak points in the system and subsequently improve the common practice.
