Research summary
We will take a random sample of the team’s caseload, and test for effectiveness of the team's intervention (adapted Structured Clinical Management, which has not been explored in this way previously) via a selection of outcome measures: crisis line calls, crisis team visits, crisis house admissions, psychiatric admissions, emergency services contacts, custody days, criminal charges brought against client, GP contacts, safeguarding concerns raised for or against client. We consider these as a proxy of client distress and therefore as indicators of intervention success (though they could be said to be indicators of intervention success in their own right, without consideration of their serving as a proxy for distress). These will be collected for a sample of the team's caseload, for one year pre referral to the team and one year post allocation to a clinician, and subject to analysis to determine whether the team’s intervention is effective.
