Free Webcast on the Evidence Base for Consumer-Driven Services

The National Research and Training Center (NRTC) of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) has made available a video of presentations delivered by national experts Judith Cook, Jean Campbell and Lisa Razzano, exploring the evidence base for consumer-operated, delivered, and centered services, where people in recovery control the kinds of help they get, from whom, and in what settings. An evidence grading pyramid is presented along with specific levels of evidence for models such as recovery self-management, drop-in centers, advance directives, and self-directed care. A special focus is on the results of the national multi-site research study of consumer-operated service programs (COSP), directed by people in recovery, and funded by CMHS.
