Telephonic interventions have the potential to be a low-cost intervention for enhancing treatment outcomes and adherence for persons diagnosed with schizophrenia. A randomized demonstration study was conducted at a large, urban community mental health center to examine the feasibility and costs associated with the Telephone Medication Management (TMM) program and to assess the outcomes of such an approach. Our final sample for outcomes analyses consisted of 10 control group participants and 13 from the TMM condition. Change scores from baseline to the last observation were used in a series of Analyses of Variance. The TMM intervention was associated with a promising pattern of results. The direction of positive effects was consistently in favor of the TMM intervention and were not inconsequential as they mostly fell in the medium to large effect size range. Interestingly, no apparent differences in treatment adherence were found, despite positive changes in other areas that have been found to be associated with adherence. This demonstration study presents only preliminary data, but the theory and results are promising enough to pursue further study of this approach that requires few additional resources and may significantly enhance treatment outcomes.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
