Access to shelter to schizophrenic patients Student: Professor: Course title: Date: Abstract Schizophrenia is a very serious mental illness. The goal of the present project is to show that providing housing services helps in reducing re-hospitalization of patients suffering from schizophrenia. The project will address the following question: In schizophrenic patients, how does access to shelter compared to no access to shelter/homelessness help in decreasing re-hospitalization within a 3 month period? Evidence that lack of access to shelter is related to readmission is an indication that interventions for housing could in fact decrease the rates of relapse. Two clinical outcomes, one satisfaction outcome and one cost outcome are defined and measured. To translate the project into sustainable change in practice, Kotter’s change model would be utilized.
