A virtual learning collaborative to implement health promotion in routine mental health settings: Protocol for a cluster randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite widespread use of learning collaboratives in health care, few randomized trials have evaluated their effectiveness. The primary aim of this cluster randomized implementation trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual learning collaborative (VLC) in the implementation of a lifestyle intervention for persons with serious mental illness (SMI) in routine mental health settings, compared to standard individual technical assistance.
