Summary

This trial proposes developing a peer-navigator intervention to help incarcerated individuals with serious mental illness access community-level mental health & medical care services after release.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults in Genesee County Jail with serious mental illness (like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression with psychosis) who are getting out in the next two months. They must be able to provide contacts for follow-up and have access to a phone. It's not for those going straight to prison after jail.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a 'peer navigation intervention' designed to help individuals with serious mental illness connect better with community services like mental health care, medical treatment, and substance use programs after they leave jail.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves social support rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or stress during the re-entry process which the peer navigation aims to mitigate.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Peer navigationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Those who are assigned to the intervention arm will receive peer navigation service by a trained peer navigator who will link them with mental health, medical and substance use services in the community.
Group II: Standard of CareActive Control1 Intervention
SOC consists of TAU + monitoring and emergency referral, as is required to fulfil ethical obligations to trial participants. To determine the naturalistic effects and costs of adding peer navigation intervention, participants in both conditions can receive any other treatment available to them and we will not exclude participants receiving other treatment. We will carefully characterize TAU for each condition as part of our service utilization assessment.
