Improving Outcomes for Individuals With Serious Mental Illness and Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Targeted Training in Illness Management (TTIM) for Diabetes Mellitus and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project tests a model for improving illness self-management among persons who have both serious mental illness and diabetes and will be performed within a primary care setting at a safety net hospital system. The information gained from the randomized trial will be supplemented with reports from participants about their experiences of trying to improve illness self-management. Improvements in self-management should result in a reduction of psychiatric symptoms and improvements in functioning and physical health.

Interventions
This intervention blends psychoeducation, problem identification/goal-setting, behavioral modeling and reinforcement via use of Peer Educators, and health care linkage, has been adapted to the primary care setting and targeted for SMI-DM participants. Generalizability is enhanced with relatively brief in-person participation requirements and by utilizing professional staff typically found in primary care. TTIM will stress information sharing that is accessible to participants, and through a collaborative process, foster motivation for SMI-DM self-management.
