Cash for shots: can paying patients stop costly mental health crises?

NCT ID NCT07130500

Summary

This study is testing if offering small financial rewards can help people with serious mental health conditions take their long-acting injectable medications more consistently. It involves 1000 people in Pennsylvania with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or similar conditions who have recently been hospitalized against their will or are at high risk. The goal is to see if better medication adherence leads to fewer forced hospitalizations and improvements in safety, housing, and overall well-being.
