A Randomized Controlled Trial of an Adapted Illness Management and Recovery Program for People With Schizophrenia Awaiting Discharge From a Psychiatric Hospital

Objective: Most research on the Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) program for people with severe mental illnesses has focused on individuals with stable symptoms living in the community, with less attention to persons being treated in an inpatient setting. We evaluated the feasibility and effects of an IMR program adapted for individuals with schizophrenia who were awaiting discharge into the community.
