An evaluation of different levels of support in using a recovery guide for people with psychosis and the impact of choice on outcomes
Acronym
STAR-T
Study hypothesis
This study is a partially randomised patient preference trial. The aims of the study are to:
1. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a recovery guide for psychosis when provided with either low or high support
2. To assess the relative impact of the guide in relation to low and high support and no treatment on psychotic symptoms, affect, well-being and functioning
Participants will be able to choose their preferred treatment option (treatment as usual [TAU], low support or high support) or elect to be randomised to a treatment option.
