Primary outcomePrimary: Independent Living Skills Survey (ILSS) — 0.66; 0.70; 0.68; 0.71 units on a scale

Summary

The primary purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of a group therapy intervention, cognitive behavioral social skills training (CBSST), that teaches social functioning skills and cognitive-behavioral compensatory aids to older patients with schizophrenia. CBSST, therefore, targets the multidimensional deficits that lead to disability in aging veterans with severe mental illness.
