BFM intervention refinement will be accomplished in five phases. Phase one will include reducing the number of items in the BFM checklist by administering the expanded checklist to at least 50 patients with schizophrenia and using the standard psychometric item-reduction strategies to create a shorter checklist. In phase two we will conduct mental health provider focus groups to discuss the content of the Options List and the delivery of the intervention. In phase three we will automate the BFM intervention using an existing web-based computer touch-screen platform. In phase four we will conduct individual patient debriefing interviews with 30 patients to evaluate the understandability of the BFM survey. In phase five we will evaluate the test/re-test reliability of the survey in a new sample of 30 patients. BFM intervention implementation will include a stratified randomization of patients to the BFM intervention or usual care. BFM intervention evaluation will include testing the feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes associated with the intervention versus usual care in a single trial with 200 patients (100 intervention and 100 usual care).
