Sponsor: University of California, San Diego
Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial will test a blended intervention that combines Executive Function Training with Cognitive-Behavioral Skills Training (E-CBSST). E-CBSST will be delivered to adults with late-life schizophrenia to determine if it increases Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training skills learning more than a supportive contact control condition and leads to improved functioning.

Interventions
E-CBSST
E-CBSST is a blended, in-person intervention that combines components of Executive Function Training (EFT) with Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training (CBSST). Participants complete 6 sessions of EFT and then 36 sessions of combined EFT and CBSST. CBSST techniques are based on cognitive behavioral therapy and social skills training developed for adult patients with schizophrenia. Participants set meaningful recovery goals and then learn skills to achieve their goals.
E-SC
E-SC is a goal-focused supportive contact group therapy intervention that provides the same frequency and amount of therapist and other group member contact as E-CBSST. Participants will complete the same number of EFT sessions and then continue with semi-structured supportive contact sessions of the same number and duration as participants in the E-CBSST arm. The SC intervention will have a primary focus on setting and achieving recovery goals (e.g., living, learning, and socializing).
