Interventions

  • SUSTAIN Monitoring and Care Management — BEHAVIORAL
    Program participants are offered clinical services based on symptom severity and clinical need. Follow-up Monitoring consists of up to 4 brief, structured assessments following the baseline clinical assessment. These follow-up contacts are conducted over the telephone by the HT/BHP and take place during the initial 12 weeks of pharmaceutical treatment. These brief interviews monitor symptoms, adherence, side effects, and response to treatment. Care Management incorporates the use of a BHP who has expertise in mental health assessment and is well versed in the delivery of algorithm-based management strategies. The BHP monitors and encourages patient acceptance and adherence to treatment recommendations through support, education, and motivational engagement.
