Participant Flow

Between February 2020 November 2024, chart screens were completed for inpatient and partial hospital admissions at a local psychiatric hospital. Based on initial eligibility criteria, patients were approached on the units. Study staff described the study and, if the patient was interested, completed an informed consent process.

After consent, participants completed a baseline assessment to confirm eligibility before random assignment. Two participants who were randomly assigned were not included in the data because they were randomized in error and were subsequently determined not to be eligible to participate. It was discovered that one had previously participated in a study with a similar intervention and another had previously participated in this study. The final intent-to-treat sample was 176.
