About this study

In this trial, the investigators will examine the uptake of the evidenced-based IDEAL Goals program, a heart disease risk reduction program, while testing different implementation strategies with our partners in Michigan and Maryland who serve persons with serious mental illness (SMI).

Read the detailed description

In this trial, the investigators will work with Michigan and Maryland mental health programs to improve the uptake of the 18-month heart disease risk reduction program, IDEAL Goals, to be delivered to persons with SMI enrolled in their behavioral health homes.

Being tested
Replicating Effective Programs, Coaching, Facilitation

What participants receive

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

  • Replicating Effective ProgramsOther

    Replicating Effective Programs (REP), based on Social Learning Theory and Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations, incorporates program packaging, training, and technical support

  • CoachingOther

    Coaching is based on the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports model, addresses staff barriers by building implementers' evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge, self-efficacy, and skills through clinical support and feedback.

  • FacilitationOther

    Facilitation addresses potential organizational barriers to delivery, including leadership support and acceptance among other staff.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of IDEAL Goals sessions received by persons with serious mental illness (SMI) at the community mental health program

    Main effects of implementation strategies defined as those who attend sessions that are assigned to the most intensive strategies (Replicating Effective Programs (REP), Coaching, and Facilitation) compared to the least intensive (REP only). The investigators will use electronic health record data on all clients enrolled in the behavioral health home at a participating organization to assess sessions attended. These individuals are not formally enrolled into the trial; their data, obtained under a waiver of informed consent, comprise this outcome.

    Measured: baseline to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of IDEAL Goals sessions received by persons with serious mental illness (SMI) at the community mental health program

    Marginal effects of implementation strategies defined as those who attend sessions that are assigned to Coaching or Facilitation compared to those not assigned to that same strategy.

    Measured: baseline to 18 months
