About this study

Official title: Reducing Duration of Untreated Psychosis Through Early Detection in a Large Jail System - Surveys of Correction Officers

The investigators will implement a multifaceted Target Education Campaign (TEC) within the three jails about recognizing early psychotic symptoms and referring to the Correctional Health Services. This campaign will include print materials and targeted trainings for Correction Officers. To develop all aspects of the TEC, the investigators will convene a workgroup, meeting biweekly for the first 6 months, including the entire investigative team, as well as experts at the Center for Practice Innovations (CPI). Depending on the nature of agreed-upon educational materials, the investigators will use specific areas of expertise at CPI for development. Materials will provide specific, actionable, and persuasive messaging about: (1) how to identify select signs of psychosis, (2) how to refer to the Specialized Early Engagement Support Service (SEESS) (in year 2), and (3) the effectiveness of early treatment through coordinated specialty care for early psychosis. Messaging will be continuous in the three jails.

Read the detailed description

Because Correction Officers in the three jails of interest are critically positioned to influence pathways to care, print materials will be supplemented with professional outreach and education by the SEESS. Roll-call is the approved venue by which all ongoing education happens for Correction Officers. Roll-calls take place at the beginning of each shift (7am, 3pm, 11pm) every day of the week in the same location and last ~ 15 - 20 minutes; all staff starting that shift attend. During roll-call, brief messages (2-3 minutes) will be delivered by the Controlling Captains, which is the standard practice for communicating important information to Correction Officers. Both daytime and overnight shifts will receive the targeted training for the 24 months of the TEC.

The investigators will collect pre-TEC (baseline) and during-TEC (at 6 months and 12 months) data from Correction Officers through brief surveys, which will be used to test changes in mean scores for knowledge, behavioral expectations, and self-efficacy, which are three key constructs from Social Cognitive Theory.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Targeted Educational CampaignBehavioural
Correction Officers will be exposed to the Targeted Educational Campaign (TEC) with the aim to increase their knowledge about the early symptoms of psychosis, and how to make a referral to the Correction Health Services staff, their self-efficacy to detect symptoms of psychosis and make referrals, and their expectations about their ability to be successful in making that referral (and for referrals to result in beneficial outcomes).
Correction Officers will be approached and recruited during roll call and in the staff canteen where they take their meal breaks, or at a time/location agreed upon by the Department of Correction, to complete brief surveys at three different times; pre-exposure, after 6 months, and after 12 months from the beginning of the TEC.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Correction Officers' Knowledge at Baseline
Survey-based scores on knowledge/skills at baseline.
To measure behavioral capability (knowledge/skills), the investigators used the Correction Officers' Behavioral Capability Scale, which has a minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 10. Higher scores mean better knowledge about psychosis and therefore a better outcome.
Measured: Baseline
Correction Officers' Knowledge at 6 Months
Survey-based scores on knowledge/skills at 6-months.
To measure behavioral capability (knowledge/skills), the investigators used the Correction Officers' Behavioral Capability Scale, which has a minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 10. Higher scores mean better knowledge about psychosis and therefore a better outcome.
Measured: 6 months
Correction Officers' Knowledge at 12 Months
Survey-based scores on knowledge/skills at 12-months.
To measure behavioral capability (knowledge/skills), the investigators used the Correction Officers' Behavioral Capability Scale, which has a minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 10. Higher scores mean better knowledge about psychosis and therefore a better outcome.
Measured: 12 months
Correction Officers' Behavioral Expectations at Baseline
Survey-based scores on behavioral expectations at baseline.
To measure expectation, the investigators used the Correction Officers' Expectations Scale, which has a minimum value of 8 and a maximum value of 32. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Measured: Baseline

Correction Officers' Behavioral Expectations at 12 Months
Survey-based scores on behavioral expectations at 12 months.
To measure expectation, the investigators used the Correction Officers' Expectations Scale, which has a minimum value of 8 and a maximum value of 32. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Measured: 12 months
Correction Officers' Self-Efficacy at Baseline
Survey-based scores on self-efficacy at baseline.
To measure self-efficacy, the investigators used the Correction Officers' Self-Efficacy Scale, which has a minimum value of 8 and a maximum value of 32. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Measured: Baseline
Correction Officers' Self-Efficacy at 6 Months
Survey-based scores on self-efficacy at 6-months.
To measure self-efficacy, the investigators used the Correction Officers' Self-Efficacy Scale, which has a minimum value of 8 and a maximum value of 32. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Targeted Educational Campaign in people with Work-Related Condition, run by Columbia University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Oct 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correction Officers' Knowledge at Baseline (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05451225.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Oct 2022.
