Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will investigate the impact of a brief telephone follow-up following a mental health assessment in the emergency department. The purpose of the telephone call will be to provide psycho-education, clarify any questions and reinforce discharge planning.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized controlled trial. The experimental group will receive a phone call within 72 hours of discharge to provide psycho education, clarify any questions they may have and to reinforce discharge plans made in the ED. The control group will not receive this phone call. Within 30 days of discharge, both groups will receive a phone call to collect data on treatment compliance including medication and follow-up adherence and if any additional visits to the Emergency Department were necessary.
