Intervention for Justice-Involved Homeless Veterans With Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial
2025
Overview
The US Veterans Affairs mental health residential rehabilitation treatment programs (MH RRTPs) provide residential care for veterans experiencing homelessness. However, those with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders and criminal legal involvement require additional interventions to address risk factors for recidivism.
We aimed to (1.1) evaluate whether the Maintaining Independence and Sobriety through Systems Integration, Outreach, and Networking Criminal Justice version (MISSION-CJ) intervention lowers criminal recidivism and improves health-related outcomes; (1.2) examine the mechanisms that impact outcomes; and (2) qualitatively assess the implementation of MISSION-CJ.
Veterans participating in an MH RRTP (N=226) will be randomized to the enhanced usual care (EUC) or MISSION-CJ conditions in a hybrid type 1 randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness and implementation of MISSION-CJ, a multicomponent intervention for co-occurring disorder. Both conditions will receive 6 months of services beginning within a week of MH RRTP enrollment (duration of stay: 3 months) and continue for 3 months after the MH RRTP in the community. The veterans in the EUC group (113/226, 50%) will receive a peer support curriculum and community outreach and linkage delivered by a peer support specialist. The veterans in the MISSION-CJ group (113/226, 50%) will receive team-based (case manager and peer support specialist) care, including treatment planning, case management using a critical time intervention model to promote referrals and linkages, enhanced dual recovery therapy sessions, and peer support sessions. Assessments, including questions regarding substance use and mental health history, criminal history and recidivism risk, housing, employment, medication adherence, mutual-help group attendance, antisocial attitudes, affiliations with peers, community involvement, and treatment services received, will be conducted at baseline and 6 months and 15 months after baseline. We will use generalized linear mixed effects regression models to evaluate MISSION-CJ based on outcomes (objective 1.1). We will conduct mediation analysis to examine mechanisms of action (objective 1.2). For the qualitative evaluation (objective 2), we will use thematic analysis to identify themes.
As of March 2025, 118 veterans (site 1: n=52, 44.1% and site 2: n=66, 55.9%) have been enrolled. Overall, 58 veterans (site 1: n=27, 47% and site 2: n=31, 53%) have been randomized to the MISSION-CJ group, and 60 veterans (site 1: n=25, 42% and site 2: n=35, 58%) have been randomized to the EUC group. Overall, 23 interviews for the qualitative evaluation have been completed with veterans. Veterans are continuing to receive treatment and completing follow-up assessments. The findings from this trial and qualitative evaluation will be available by 2026. The quantitative and qualitative components of this project are intended to work synergistically to reinforce knowledge of MISSION-CJ's effectiveness, implementation, and scalability.
If effective, the implementation of MISSION-CJ alongside the MH RRTPs may be advantageous to address risk factors related to recidivism.
