Intervention Content and Delivery Adaptations | Replicating Effective Programs Phases | ||
---|---|---|---|
Preconditions Phase | |||

Content adaptations: reordering elements and adjusting timing | Repackaged and reordered content into 6 2-hour modules (vs original 12, 1-hour modules) | Divided content and training material for standardized versus patient-driven SMA conditions. | Adjusted timing to fit experience of interventionists |
In patient-driven condition, provided instructions for reordering content to fit cohort-specific preferences | In standardized condition, manual provides instructions on duration of each topic; patient-driven manual provides suggested time only | ||
Content adaptations: removing elements | Removed ongoing TTIM illness management phase | Changed TTIM manual language to focus more on a primary care population rather than SMI population | Less focus on serious mental illness, with now-optional mental health elements |
