Hi Nadine and all,
I have a colleague looking for info about the use of START in
Correctional settings. Was that your group who was using START with
offenders? Anyone else?
Thank you all,

Subject: [startgroup] START and the RACE-study
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,
