No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It is important that individuals with serious mental illness make informed choices among alternative healthcare treatments based on their preferences. However, at present, individuals' preferences are often not being elicited, nor used to guide which treatments are made available. In this pilot project, the investigators implement and evaluate a computerized method for assessing treatment preferences of individuals with schizophrenia. The investigators use weight management treatments for this initial test of the system. If this assessment method is found to predict treatment use and satisfaction, it can be used to guide implementation of treatments that improve outcomes while meeting individuals' preferences.
