Web site usage and outcome benefits are reported.Methods: Thirty-one persons with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and 24 support persons were randomly assigned to the online intervention (telehealth) or treatment as usual (usual care) condition. At three, six, and 12 months, interviewer-administered assessments were conducted with participants. Intention-to-treat analyses compared persons with schizophrenia in the two study conditions on severity of positive symptoms and knowledge of schizophrenia. Support persons in the two study conditions were compared on knowledge of schizophrenia. Each participant's usage of the Web site was logged.Results: Persons with schizophrenia in the telehealth condition had a large and significant reduction in positive symptoms (p=.042, d=-.88) and a large and significant increase in knowledge of schizophrenia compared with their counterparts in the usual care condition. Support persons in the telehealth condition showed a large and significant increase in knowledge about prognosis compared with those in the usual care condition (p=.036, d=1.94). Persons with schizophrenia used the Web site to a much greater extent (pages viewed and time spent) than support persons.Conclusions: These findings suggest that online delivery of psychotherapeutic treatment and educational resources to consumers' homes has considerable potential to improve consumer well-being and offers several advantages over standard clinic-based delivery models. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
