This exploratory study was focused on mental health, broadly defined, as part of a larger community assessment research project. The primary goals of this study were to determine how a mental health initiative impacted the perceived care provided by the mental health-serving organizations and also to identify promising practices of grantees. Because the goal of this study was illumination and understanding, as opposed to prediction or causal determination, the data collected were qualitative, coming from open-ended questions and archival data obtained from the agencies. Organizations reported many strengths and successes, such as improved client outcomes, partnerships and collaboration among agencies and community members, as well as having a committed board, staff, administrators, and volunteers. Challenges for organizations included measuring outcomes, securing adequate staffing levels, and securing adequate funding. Overall, mental health-serving organizations reported positive changes in the community, but could benefit from longer granting periods, capacity building activities, improved client access to services, greater community awareness and reduced stigma associated with mental illness.

Mental Health Outcome Evaluation bridges the gap between traditional research and evaluation methods by presenting an alternative to the highly technical and statistical methods developed in the laboratory for mental health care professionals. It focuses on outcome evaluation of mental health services for adults, concentrating on the general principles that can be used to assess the service effectiveness of community health centers, clinics, and private practices. The book presents a formidable argument for descriptive outcome studies through its evaluation of the results and consequences of care and treatment as well as clinician ratings. It is written in a non-technical style, making it accessible to anyone in the mental health industry. - Addresses industry efforts to monitor and assess information about results and consequences of mental health care and treatment - Evaluates use of clinician ratings as outcome information - Offers accessible general principles for managers and mental health services researchers - Presents the best argument for descriptive outcome studies

Approximately 4 million U.S. service members took part in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Shortly after troops started returning from their deployments, some active-duty service members and veterans began experiencing mental health problems. Given the stressors associated with war, it is not surprising that some service members developed such mental health conditions as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance use disorder. Subsequent epidemiologic studies conducted on military and veteran populations that served in the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq provided scientific evidence that those who fought were in fact being diagnosed with mental illnesses and experiencing mental healthâ€"related outcomesâ€"in particular, suicideâ€"at a higher rate than the general population. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the quality, capacity, and access to mental health care services for veterans who served in the Armed Forces in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn. It includes an analysis of not only the quality and capacity of mental health care services within the Department of Veterans Affairs, but also barriers faced by patients in utilizing those services.

This invaluable text provides a rigorous guide to the assessment and evaluation of treatment programs through a multi-disciplinary, holistic model of care. It highlights issues of race, social justice, and health equity, and offers real-world guidance to effect community healing and transformation. Written by a researcher and experienced evaluator, the book begins by outlining the theories and research which frame our understanding of substance misuse, and upon which treatment programs are based. It then examines the principles which should underpin any evaluation, before detailing the practical various steps required to conduct an evaluation, from data collection to outcome measurement. The book shows, too, through detailed and effective evaluation, policy changes can be made and treatment programs improved. Including practical examples of evaluation and assessment throughout, and also assessing the numerous social systems which can support recovery, the book builds to a four-step public health model for establishing sustainable treatment programs. In an era where substance misuse has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and beyond, this book will be essential reading for anyone involved in public health policy and practice in this important area.
