Dear all,
Since Rob send the email below quite some participants have been added to our
STARTmaillist.
So for those of you who missed it, and for those of you waiting for a copy of
my own presentation, I am sending you full information on our Risk Assessment
and Care Evaluation (RACE) study.
Just to give you some background information:
* We are conducting a clustered Randomized Controlled Trial at
* three Outpatient Forensic Psychiatric locations in the Northern parts
of the Netherlands.
* Randomization took place on the level of the casemanager (N = 45).
* We've included about 700 clients (350 in both intervention and control
arm of the study)
* The avarage follow-up period will be 18 months
* Intervention consists of:
* Individual casemanagers rating their clients on START (so we
have no consensus ratings)
* Clients rating themselves on a client-START version, which
we've developed for this purpose (translation to English is in progress, and I
will share it with you asap)
* Then casemanagers and clients evaluating the current needs and
proposed future care together in a structured care evaluation (which we've
developed for this purpose) based on the completed STARTs
Additionally, you'll find both our presentations from Edinburgh attached.
For those of you unfamiliar with the study, it may be helpful to first go
through my own presentation which provides a more extensive background and
description of our population, as well as preliminary results on the predictive
validity of the START in our sample. Rob's presentation will tell you more
about the client self-appraisal version of the START and how this relates to
the casemanagers' version.
Looking forward to your own experiences and insights concerning the START,
Nadine

Dear members of the START group,
Getting connected to the START-group was one of the best results of the
Edinburgh conference for us. And I am very much looking forward to an exchange
of ideas and findings on the START, as well as the meeting we are planning in
Vancouver.
To inform you about our work with the START, I send you a copy of the trial
registration of our RACE-study at www.trialregister.nl and of my presentation
in Edinburgh. I will also send you the presentation of my colleague Nadine
Troquete in Edinburgh, as soon as she got back from her little holiday in
Scotland.
Kind regards,
