RECOVER-E's main purpose is to ensure well-functioning community mental health teams in five countries in Europe; these teams will serve as the central node for the coordination and provision of care for people with severe mental illness (SMI). At present, specialist teams providing comprehensive, evidence-based mental health care are not available or functional in many countries in Eastern Europe, and the care pathways and evidence-based treatment protocols for community-based and recovery-oriented mental healthcare have not been defined or tailored to local situations and therefore, are not being implemented. This project aims to implement and study community-based initiatives to narrow this gap. These efforts will emphasize the development of human resource capacity and care pathways that can be distilled in a comprehensive pathway to scale for regional and national decision-makers for potential project expansion and replication after the project period.
AIMS / OBJECTIVES The overall aim of Recover-E is to contribute to the implementation of a community-based service delivery model in five implementation sites in low and middle-income countries and vulnerable populations in high-income countries in Europe to improve the level of functioning, quality of life, and mental health outcomes for people with severe and enduring mental ill health (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression).
RECOVER-E's specific project objectives are to:
2,148 studies on the registry are indexed under Mental Disorders; 425 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 180 is above the median of 96 across 1,607 interventional studies indexed under Mental Disorders.

Inclusion Criteria:The target population for inclusion in the study are consenting adults (ages 18-65 years) with severe mental illness (SMI), defined based on Deslespaul's conceptualisation of SMI:

Other: Mobile team community mental health services
The intervention focuses on changing mental health care systems to be able to provide community-based mental health care for people with severe mental illness. This will be done through the development and implementation of multidisciplinary community mental health teams (CMHTs) in each of the implementation sites, consisting of at least one nurse, psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, and peer worker (person with lived experience of a severe mental illness). The structure and delivery method of the community mental health teams is part of an evidence-based service delivery model providing flexible, assertive community mental health teams providing integrated services to people with severe mental illness (SMI) in order to structurally attain their recovery goals, as well as timely and appropriate care in the event of a crisis.
The primary outcome is global (personal and social) functioning, measured with the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0).
The WHODAS 2.0 is a generic measure designed to measure functioning and disability as well as health-related quality of life based on the Internal Classification of Functioning (ICF) framework. The WHODAS 2.0 will be used as a continuous outcome in the clinical trial evaluation. The scale comes in 12- and 36-item versions. The 36-item version captures the level of functioning in six domains of life: Domain 1: Cognition - understanding and communicating Domain 2: Mobility - moving and getting around Domain 3: Self-care - attending to one's hygiene, dressing, eating and staying alone Domain 4: Getting along - interacting with other people Domain 5: Life activities - domestic responsibilities, leisure, work and school Domain 6: Participation - joining in community activities, participating in society The 12-item version helps to assess overall (global) functioning only. Therefore, it is planned to use the 36-itme self-report version of the WHODAS 2.0.

Started Mar 2019 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2020, 21 months after the start.
Of 841 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Mental Disorders, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 45. This study's planned 21 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 856 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 45.
Mental Disorders covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.
