What this research studies
This research focuses on young adults experiencing homelessness who often face significant mental health challenges and barriers to accessing care. It aims to adapt a proven case management approach, known as Critical Time Intervention (CTI), to better support these individuals during their transition to stable housing. By integrating mental health strategies tailored for young adults, the study seeks to engage participants in mental health services and improve their overall well-being. The research will be conducted in New York and will involve a pilot program to test the effectiveness of this adapted intervention.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are young adults under 21 years old who are experiencing homelessness and facing mental health challenges.
Not a fit: Patients who are not experiencing homelessness or do not have mental health challenges may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve mental health outcomes and housing stability for young adults transitioning out of homelessness.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that Critical Time Intervention is effective for adults with serious mental illness, but this adaptation for young adults has not been tested before.
