Study Summary
This randomized controlled trial tests the efficacy of a mental health peer-led educational intervention called BRIDGES (Building Recovery of Individual Dreams and Goals through Education and Support). The BRIDGES program is a 10-week, manualized education course designed to provide basic information about the etiology and treatment of mental illness, self-help skills, and recovery principles in order to empower participants to return to valued social roles within their communities. BRIDGES is a peer-led program and all instructors are adults with mental illnesses. For study purposes, the 10-week course was modified to 8-weeks, meeting 2 1/2 hours once a week. Hypothesis #1: Compared to wait-list controls, intervention participants will report increased feelings of psychological empowerment. Hypothesis #2: Compared to wait-list controls, intervention participants will report increased feelings of hopefulness. Hypothesis #3: Compared to wait-list controls, intervention participants will report enhanced coping ability. Hypothesis #4: Compared to wait-list controls, intervention participants will report enhanced recovery. Hypothesis #5: Compared to wait-list controls, intervention participants will report greater ability to advocate for themselves with health care providers. Hypothesis #6: Compared to wait-list controls, those in the BRIDGES education course will report increased knowledge of the causes and treatment of mental illness and recovery principles.
Primary Outcome
Recovery from mental illness is measured by the Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS) (Giffort et al., 1995). Recovery is a psychosocial outcome assessed via patient self-ratings on a 41-item scale using a 5-point Likert-response format ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." The minimum value for the RAS is 41 and the maximum is 205, with higher scores indicating a better outcome. Dimensions of recovery include personal confidence and hope, willingness to ask for help, goal and success
