Mental Illness Self-Management through Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) in Ohio: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Project Update
- In early 2006, two local study coordinators were hired in Ohio and they helped to recruit 18 WRAP facilitators, 3 in each of six study sites: Cleveland, Toledo, Canton, Chillicothe, Lorain, and Columbus. In June, all facilitators attended a 3-day training at which they were introduced to the 8-week WRAP intervention that will be tested in the study. By the end of the year, 120 people were enrolled in the study and completed their first baseline) research interviews prior to random assignment. WRAP groups began for the first round of study participants in January 2007. Facilitators (2 primary and 1 backup at each site) participate in weekly Facilitator Conference Calls at which they discuss issues arising in their groups and share tips for group facilitation.
