| Scientific title | A single centre randomised controlled trial of Community Treatment Order versus treatment on leave in patients with psychosis |
| Study acronym | OCTET |
| Study objectives | The overall hypothesis is that the use of Community Treatment Orders (CTOs) in patients with psychosis and a history of compulsory admissions will result in a reduction in readmissions to hospital compared to treatment on leave. To test the hypothesis, the primary outcome measure is psychiatric hospitalisation in the 12-month follow-up period. |
| Ethics approval(s) | North and South Staffordshire Research Ethics Committee, 30/10/2008, ref: 08/H1204/131 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Psychosis |
| Intervention | Eligible patients will be identified from current involuntary inpatients under the care of Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) and Assertive Outreach Teams (AOTs) who have agreed to collaborate. Teams must be able, and agree, to offer contact with the patient approximately weekly in either arm. Access to patients is through a member of the care team. An independent researcher will assess and record the patient's capacity before seeking written informed consent. Participants will be interviewed at baseline and at 6 and 12 months, using appropriate validated and standardised questionnaires. Data related to the primary outcome measure (plus several secondary measures) will be collected from patients' medical records. After 12 months in the trial, care returns to normal. |
