Grocery Shopping Skills Training
Independent living for people with psychiatric disabilities:
using contextual cues to remove environmental barriers.
• • •
Funded by a grant from the
National Institute of Disability Research and Rehabilitation

     Our present grant led by Tana Brown focuses on evaluating the outcomes of an intervention for individuals with serious mental illness using contextual cues to reduce environmental barriers in grocery shopping.

      Three levels of skill acquisition are being addressed:
                    1) knowledge of grocery shopping
                    2) grocery shopping performance
                    3) application of grocery shopping strategies

     Skill acquisition and cognitive measures are being administered prior to and after random assignment of participants to the nine-session intervention or control group.
     The intervention is being implemented by staff and consumer leaders from five area community mental health centers trained to implement the intervention.
     The measures of basic cognitive processes and executive functioning will be analyzed to examine if cognition predicts skill acquisition.
