Evaluation of the Texas Wellness Incentives and Navigation (WIN) Project

Study summary

The Wellness Incentives and Navigation (WIN) project is designed to help improve health self-management and reduce the incidence and consequences of chronic disease among non-elderly adult Medicaid Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries. WIN targets SSI beneficiaries with behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse) diagnoses. Research demonstrates that these individuals are more likely to suffer chronic physical co-morbidities, experience debilitating chronic illnesses earlier in life and have elevated healthcare costs. WIN uses person-centered wellness planning and navigation facilitated by trained, professional health Navigators, dedicated specifically to the WIN project, who use Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques, and a personal wellness account. Participants with more serious mental illnesses will be offered additional support in the form of Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) to enable them to take full advantage of person-centered wellness planning.
