Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate a 6 month change in quality of life in subjects who receive collaborative care calls compared to those subjects who receive usual neurology care. This is a 2-site trial comparing a 24 week neurology-based collaborative care program to usual neurology care among a total of 60 adults with post-traumatic epilepsy.

Detailed description

The study will compare collaborative care versus usual care among N=60 adults with post-traumatic epilepsy and anxiety and/or depression symptoms in Veterans Administration (N=20) and civilian university (N=40) settings at the Salisbury VA and Atrium Health Neurology. This single-blind study will evaluate effectiveness and implementation of a remotely-delivered, 24-week team-delivered collaborative care intervention, with features adapted from VA Primary Care Mental Health Integration and Whole Health, as well as an existing Family Medicine Collaborative Care Program at AHWFB.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Neurology Based Collaborative Care	Twenty-four week, evidence-based remote collaborative care model initiated around the time of a neurology visit. The collaborative care team roles include the care manager, psychiatrist, and psychologist/social worker who interact with the patient participant and the patient's neurologist.
BEHAVIORAL	SOC Neurological care	Usual neurology care means ongoing, epilepsy provider-recommended clinic visits, prescriptions, testing and referrals from their epilepsy provider. Mental health referrals or prescribing of antidepressants may potentially occur in this group; these types of interventions will be tracked at outcome assessments.
