Methods	Design: 3‐ arm randomized control trial
	Setting: Minneapolis, United States
	Follow up: 24 months
Participants	Population: Homeless persons with alcohol or other drug use problems
	Sample size: Total sample n = 260, ICM n = 82, Intermediate CM n = 117 control n = 61
Interventions	Intervention:
	Intensive Case Management: The intensive case managers were to focus more on outreach and field work, maintaining closer and more frequent contact with clients and in a variety of settings. The intensive group was designed on a modified team model that periodically redistributed clients among the team so that team members became familiar with each other's clients
	Comparator:
	Intermediate Case Management: Intermediate case managers were expected to be office based, although their goals also included outreach. Managers were not expected to develop close relationships with the clients. The majority of their time was spent on practical issues, such as assisting with entitlement procurement and establishing representative payee arrangements.
	Control group (Episodic or Usual care): This group received only episodic case management services‐ the services normally available through the county.
Outcomes	Housing stability, mental health, substance use, employment
