ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new approach to mental health care called Flexible and Integrated Treatment (FIT). The goal is to find out if this type of care is better than standard mental health services. FIT aims to provide more personalized and adaptable treatment options, allowing patients to receive the right level of care based on their unique needs. This trial will involve various psychiatric hospitals in Germany and will evaluate both new FIT projects starting in 2022 and existing ones that have been extended.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be treated at one of the hospitals involved and have insurance from one of the participating health insurance providers. Participants can expect to be part of a study that compares their experiences with FIT care against those receiving standard treatment. It's important to note that only individuals who have at least one year of follow-up data will be included in the study. This research aims to improve mental health care for everyone by understanding the benefits of more flexible treatment options.
