Mobile Enhancement of Motivation in Schizophrenia
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Schizophrenia, Schizo Affective Disorder, Psychosis
In brief
Motivation deficits are a strong determinant of poor functional outcomes in people with schizophrenia. Mobile interventions are a promising approach to improving these deficits, as they can provide frequent cues and reinforcements that support goal-directed behavior. The primary aims of this study are to conduct a pilot study using a randomized design to 1) Test the feasibility and acceptability of a personalized mobile text message intervention, Mobile Enhancement of Motivation in Schizophrenia (MEMS) and to 2) Test the preliminary effectiveness of MEMS compared to a control condition.
