In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mobile After-Care Support (MACS) app and Mobile app attention control for Psychotic Disorder. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall aim of this program of research is to refine and test the feasibility and acceptability of a newly developed mobile device-delivered app, called Mobile After-Care Support (MACS), to improve patients' coping and treatment adherence following a hospitalization related to their psychotic-spectrum disorder. The purpose of the proposed project is to establish the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of the app. To achieve the specific aims, the investigators will conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (n = 60), with two treatment arms: MACS vs. a mobile app attention control condition.
