Abstract

Frequent emergency department users with mental illness or addiction often struggle to find the services they need. A pre-test/post-test design assessed outcomes for these individuals after participating in a novel community-based stepped-care program delivering individualized intensive case management services. Results indicated improvement in overall functioning and severity of anxious and depressive symptoms.
