Family Peer Navigator for Early Psychosis for Black Families

Summary

Building upon formative research, this mixed methods study will be conducted in three phases to develop, refine, and pilot-test a multi-component Family Peer Navigator model designed to increase access to and initial engagement in coordinated specialty care for early psychosis among Black/African American families.

Detailed Description

The overall goal of this mixed methods study will be conducted in three phases to develop, refine, and pilot-test a multi-component Family Peer Navigator model designed to increase access to and engagement in coordinated specialty care programs among Black/African American families. Phase II will recruit 10 family member participants to complete a four-month open trial to refine the Family Peer Navigator model. During Phase III, a total of 40 Black/African American families will be recruited to participate in a randomized pilot trial of the Family Peer Navigator model against a low-intensive care coordination in two coordinated specialty care programs to assess acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary impact.
