Success Program

Intervention (standard name)

The Success Program was a mandatory academic coaching program for freshmen who were placed on academic probation at the end of their first academic quarter, consisting of a two-hour workshop led by faculty coaches followed by either a one-on-one session with a coach or the completion of a reflection assignment after visiting a campus resource.

Continuous Treatment Team (as compared to Drop-In Center)

Continuous Treatment Team provided participants with an unlimited amount of community-based services and an individualized plan to address their specific needs. Clinical case managers worked closely with clients to create their individualized plan; address their health needs; and help them access housing, transportation, and money management services. The service population included adults without housing who had a severe psychiatric disorder; no history of violent behavior; and an intention to stay in the St. Louis, MO, area for the duration of the study.

Drop-In Center (as compared to Outpatient Treatment)

Adults without housing were assigned to one of two drop-in centers (one exclusive to women, one for both genders). Drop-in centers provided daytime shelter, food, clothing, showers, recreational activities, and referrals to social services from on-site social workers.  The service population included adults with a mental illness who were also experiencing homelessness. This intervention was implemented in St. Louis, Missouri. The intervention lasted 12 months.

Demonstration to Maintain Independence and Employment (DMIE)

The intervention included enhanced behavioral, medical, and dental services that augmented participants’ standard county health benefits. Services included treatment for chemical dependence, psychological and neuropsychological assessments, and prescription medications above the three-per-month Medicaid limit. The intervention eliminated co-payments for prescription drugs and outpatient services and improved participants’ access to mental health services.
