Startdate	09-2000
Enddate	02-2004
Summary	This project aims to assess the impact of two alternative staff training programmes on the implementation and effectiveness of a standard psycho educational family intervention in six European countries. In each country, the training programmes will be implemented in a leading centre. Each leading centre will select four mental health services whose staff will be trained, and in which the psycho educational intervention will be applied for one year in families of patients with schizophrenia. The impact of the programmes will be evaluated by: a) registering the families in which the intervention is started, interrupted or completed; b) assessing the trained staff's adherence to the intervention protocol; c) assessing the treated families' burden, coping strategies, and social network at 1 and 1.5 years after the start of the intervention; d) assessing the patients' clinical status and social functioning at 1 and 1.5 years after the start of the intervention; e) recording patients' relapses and time spent in hospital during the follow-up period.
