Peer Facilitated Waitlist Controlled Transportation Study
Sponsor: Temple University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a peer-facilitated travel intervention in adults with serious mental illnesses. This project aims to address the following hypotheses: 1. Individuals with SMI receiving either of the two peer-mediated travel training transportation interventions will experience an increase in transportation self-efficacy and transportation skills. 2. Participants in the intervention arms will increase their transport utilization, participate in significantly more activities in the community, and make significantly more trips in the community. 3. Individuals with SMI receiving peer-mediated travel training interventions will retain post-test levels of community participation and self-efficacy 2 months after intervention. Participants will be assigned to an 8-week travel-training intervention either using a bike-share program or public transportation. All participants will complete three data-collection research interviews.

Interventions
Bike-Share Travel Training
Half of the participants not assigned to the waitlist will begin the bike-share intervention arm immediately after the baseline research interview. The bike-share arm will last for 8 weeks and be delivered by a community peer specialist. Half of the participants assigned to the waitlist will begin the bike-share intervention arm after an 8-week waiting period.
Public Transportation Travel Training
Half of the participants not assigned to the waitlist or bike-share arm will begin the public transportation intervention arm immediately after the baseline research interview. The public transportation arm will last for 8 weeks and be delivered by a community peer specialist. Half of the participants assigned to the waitlist will begin the public transportation intervention arm after an 8-week waiting period.
