Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants will be asked to use the FOCUS smartphone application and receive mobile health coaching from clinicians who have been trained using the digital training platform.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The current project facilitates translation of FOCUS into routine care at CMHCs using implementation strategies of practice facilitation, implementation resource teams, and the development of accessible training materials. The investigators are proposing a technology-assisted training and implementation model designed to address system needs that have emerged since the COVID-19 pandemic and enhance sustainability of FOCUS at CMHCs. The new tools and strategies used in the project will facilitate improved training and implementation in new treatment settings, reaching a far larger number of patients who otherwise would not receive FOCUS and improving the sustainability of this tool, even in high turnover settings.
This trial is a prospective multi-site site single arm implementation study in three community mental health centers located in New Hampshire and Missouri. The investigators will develop and evaluate a digital training platform to aid in the implementation of FOCUS and utilize the platform to improve the availability, reach, impact, and sustainability of the FOCUS intervention in CMHCs. Patient participants will utilize FOCUS for a 12-week period at CMHCs where clinicians have been trained using the digital training platform. Investigators will compare patient outcomes to results of previous trials where clinicians were trained using more traditional, in-person training and support methods.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
FOCUS participants
FOCUS is a smartphone application system designed to improve illness self-management and facilitate recovery in individuals with serious mental illness. It delivers both system initiated (i.e. pre-programmed) and patient initiated (i.e. on demand) real-time assessment to individuals in their own environment.
FOCUS participants
Participants using FOCUS will be given access to the FOCUS application and trained by the mHealth support specialist on how to use the functions of the smartphone (i.e. using a touchscreen, call, text) and different features of the FOCUS intervention.
