Methods/Design: A two centre, cluster randomised controlled trial. Participants are community-based mental health teams, and service users aged 18-65 years with a primary clinical diagnosis of psychosis. In relation to the REFOCUS Manual , which describes a 12-month, pro-recovery intervention. | Slade et al.

Methods Design A two centre cluster randomised controlled trial. Participants are community-based mental health teams and service users aged 18-65 years with a primary clinical diagnosis of psychosis. In relation to the REFOCUS Manual refocus which describes a 12-month pro-recovery intervention based on the REFOCUS Model the objectives are 1 To establish the effectiveness of the intervention described in the REFOCUS Manual 2 To validate the REFOCUS Model 3 To establish and optimise trial parameters for the REFOCUS Manual and 4 To understand the relationship between clinical outcomes and recovery outcomes. The hypothesis for the main study is that service users in the intervention arm will experience significantly greater increases in measures of personal recovery as measured by the QPR compared to service users receiving care from control teams. The hypothesis for the secondary study is that black service users in the intervention arm will experience significantly greater increases in measures of personal recovery as measured by the QPR and client satisfaction as measured by the CSQ compared to Black service users receiving care from control teams. The intervention comprises treatment as usual plus two components recovery-promoting relationships and working practices. The control condition is treatment as usual. The primary outcme is the Process of Recovery Questionnaire QPR . Secondary outcomes are satisfaction Goal setting - Personal Primary Outcome hope .
