A rigorous experimental research design calls for randomization of study
participants at all study sites to either a control group (traditional mental
health services only) or an experimental group (traditional mental
health services plus COSP). Sites collect information from participants
through face-to-face interviews using a common
protocol. The data is then
transmitted to a data repository at the Coordinating Center for subsequent
analysis. Interviews are conducted at base-line, 4 months, 8 months, and 12
months.
