Purpose Of Study:
Little research exists on the correlation between time spent with participants in Critical Time Intervention-modeled programs, such as Coordinated Behavioral Care's (CBC) Pathway Home, and successful completion of the programs. This study explored associations between the total amount of time spent with participants in the initial 3 months of the program and positive program outcomes.
Methodology And Sample:
Data on total time spent with participants in their initial phase of the program were gathered from Pathway Home participants who were enrolled in the program from 2016 to 2019 and then were compared with program outcomes.
Results:
The study found positive correlations between amount of time spent with participants and the attendance of a behavioral health appointment within 1 month of community entry, and positive disenrollment outcomes. This study did not find predictive significance of time spent.
Implications For Case Management Practice:
Time spent with participants is a significant variable to study, yet more research is needed on its relationship to positive outcomes.
