3 Abut this Reprt In 2013, the Clrad Office f Behaviral Health (The Office) cnducted its seventeenth annual Mental Health Statistics Imprvement Prgram (MHSIP) Cnsumer Survey with a fcus n services prvided in State Fiscal Year 2014 (July 1, June 30, 2014; FY2014). Cnsistent with natinal trends in perfrmance measurement, the Office administers the MHSIP Cnsumer Survey t assess varius cnsumer perceptins f public behaviral health services prvided in Clrad. This reprt describes data cllectin, sample selectin, and results f this year s survey. The Office is cmmitted t the inclusin f cnsumer participatin at multiple levels f behaviral health services and perceives the MHSIP survey as ne way f meeting this nging gal. It is imprtant t nte that the MHSIP survey has been develped at a natinal level in part t prmte data standards that allw fr valid results t better infrm plicy and decisins (fr a full descriptin f MHSIP and the survey s underlying values, please visit: MHSIP wrk grups include cnsumers and families with the gal f such grups being the prmtin f cnsumer-riented services thrugh data. Thank yu t all wh assisted in the data cllectin f the MHSIP survey. Agency cllabratin is instrumental t the success f the survey and the Office acknwledges and appreciates the hard wrk f the behaviral health centers and clinics in this prcess. What is the MHSIP Survey? The MHSIP Cnsumer Survey cnsists f 36 items, each answered using a 5-pint Likert scale ranging frm ne (strngly agree) t five (strngly disagree). These questins create seven dmains, which are used t measure different aspects f custmer satisfactin with public behaviral health services. Figure 1 details the specific questins that cmprise each f the seven dmains: Satisfactin, Access, Quality, Participatin, Outcmes, Scial Cnnectedness, and Functining. 3

4 Figure 1. MHSIP Dmain Items Access The lcatin f services was cnvenient. Staff were willing t see me as ften as I felt it was necessary. Staff returned my calls within 24 hurs. Services were available at times that were gd fr me. I was able t get the services I thught I needed. I was able t see a psychiatrist when I wanted t. Functining I d things that are mre meaningful t me. I am better able t take care f my needs. I am better able t handle things when they g wrng. I am better able t d things I want t d. My symptms are nt bthering me as much. Outcmes I deal mre effectively with daily prblems. I am better able t cntrl my life. I am better able t deal with crises. I am getting alng better with my family. I d better in scial situatins. I d better in schl and/r wrk. My husing situatin has imprved. My symptms are nt bthering me as much. Participatin I felt cmfrtable asking questins abut my treatment and medicatin. I, nt staff, decided my treatment gals. Quality Staff here believe I can grw, change and recver. I felt free t cmplain. Staff tld me what side-effects t watch fr. Staff respected my wishes abut wh is, and is nt, t be given infrmatin abut my treatment. Staff were sensitve t my cultural/ethnic backgrund. Staff helped me btain infrmatin s that I culd take charge f managing my illness. I was encuraged t use cnsumer-run prgrams. Satisfactin I liked the services that I receieved here. If I had ther chices, I wuld still get services frm this agency. I wuld recmmend this agency t a friend r family member. Scial Cnnectedness In a crisis, I wuld have the supprt I need frm family r friends. I am happy with the friendships I have. I have peple with whm I can d enjyable things. I feel I belng in my cmmunity. 4

5 The Functining and Scial Cnnectedness dmains were added t the MHSIP survey in While these items have been cllected in Clrad in prir years, FY2014 is the first year these items have been included in this reprt. These dmains were included in an attempt t prvide further insight n cnsumer s perceptins f their behaviral health treatment and its impact n their daily lives. The MHSIP survey als cntains items pertaining t demgraphic infrmatin (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity, arrests, and payr surce), as well as tw pen-ended questins are als included in rder t gather pinins abut the mst and least preferred features f services received. Lastly, the MHSIP survey was mdified this year t exclude demgraphic infrmatin that while infrmative, were nt required by federal reprting standards and cnsiderably increased the length f the survey. Such variables included, but are nt limited t: disability infrmatin, sexual rientatin, spken languages, and armed service. Please see Appendix A fr a cpy f the MHSIP survey as it was presented t cnsumers fr FY2014. Survey Prcedures Since 2008, a cnvenience sample has been used where surveys were given directly t cnsumers when they arrived fr their appintment, meaning the MHSIP nly captures thse wh are currently receiving services. Additinally, cnsumers wh chse t cmplete the MHSIP survey were eligible t enter a drawing t win a $10 gift card fr a lcal grcery r cnvenience stre. All cnsumers were included in the survey regardless f payr surce. This was different frm previus years that included nly the cnsumers wh were classified as indigent r receiving Medicaid. Fr FY2014, the ptin f cmpleting the survey nline was ffered via Survey Mnkey with a link t the survey being prvided in the survey cver letter handed ut t cnsumers with the paper survey. The nline survey was designed t mimic the paper survey as clsely as pssible and prvide the cnvenience f nline cmpletin. The nline survey ptin was ffered in bth English and Spanish. Despite Office effrts, nly seven English surveys were cmpleted via Survey Mnkey. Sample The Office used a cnvenience sampling methd whereby each f the 17 cmmunity mental health centers and the tw specialty clinics, Asian Pacific and Servicis de la Raza, were prvided with surveys t hand ut t cnsumers wh were receiving services during a three week perid cnducted between Octber 28 th and Nvember 15 th Cnsumers wh were attending their first appintment, r intake, were excluded frm the sample. Survey Distributin The Office cntracted with the State f Clrad Central Services, Integrated Dcument Slutins (IDS) t prepare, mail, and receive surveys as well as enter data fr the FY2014 survey perid. IDS mailed a pre-determined number f MHSIP packets 5

6 (including a cver letter, survey, and a lttery ticket) t each f the 17 cmmunity mental health centers and the tw specialty clinics. During the three-week data cllectin perid, cnsumers were ffered the pprtunity t cmplete the MHSIP survey and lttery ticket t enter the gift card drawing. Cnsumers culd chse t mail the survey directly t IDS in a pstage-paid return envelpe r culd drp (cmpleted and refused) surveys in a secure bx lcated at the center. At the end f the data cllectin perid, centers shipped all surveys t IDS where they were srted and prcessed. Data frm the cmpleted surveys were then entered int Excel and sent t the Office by IDS. Respnse Rate Data were analyzed at the state level. While the Office previusly reprted agency level data, this apprached was discntinued because it undermined the Office s gal t fster a cllabrative envirnment amng Clrad s public behaviral health prviders. The Office prvides raw agency data t each cmmunity mental health center and specialty clinic shuld they want t cnduct their wn analyses. Respnse rate was calculated by taking the number f surveys cmpleted frm each agency divided by the number f cnsumers scheduled fr appintments. When calculating respnse rate in this way, it is assumed that every cnsumer was ffered the survey and either declined r accepted. The Office received a ttal f 3,676 cmpleted r partially cmpleted MHSIP surveys. Sn after the survey administratin, agencies were asked fr the number f cnsumers that were seen during the survey perid. All agencies respnded and 22,248 adult cnsumers were reprtedly seen during the 3-week survey perid, representing a 16.5% return rate (see Appendix B). This percentage is higher than FY2013, which had a respnse rate f 15.7%. This year s survey prcess was nt significantly different frm the three previus years, and the number f surveys cmpleted this year was higher than past years (2,327; 2,642; 3,338 respectively). Respndent Demgraphics The majrity f the MHSIP respndents wh reprted gender were female (64.7%) and 34.4% were male. Respndents were generally middle aged with 36.6% between years ld and anther 37.1% between years ld. Race and Ethnicity: Fllwing natinal guidelines, race and ethnicity were separated int tw questins n the survey. Hispanic/Latin(a) was the sle chice fr ethnicity and 20.2% f respndents endrsed this item. Hwever, 22.2% f the respnses were missing r marked Prefer nt t Answer. Race had the fllwing chices: American Indian/Alaska Native, White/Caucasian, Black/African American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Asian, Other, and Prefer nt t Answer. If a respndent chse mre than ne race, their racial identificatin was cded as Multiracial. Mst respndents identified with nly ne racial grup (83.1%). The majrity f respndents identified as White/Caucasian (65.9%) fllwed by Multiracial (4.4%), Other (6.9%), African American/Black (3.6%) and American Indian/Alaska Native 6

7 (3.8%). Apprximately 17.3% left this item blank r chse Prefer nt t Answer. Please see Appendix C fr all respnses. Criminal Backgrund: FY2014, the survey asked abut criminal backgrund (i.e., arrests) fr respndents wh had received services fr mre than ne year and fr thse wh had received services fr less than ne year. Fr respndents wh had received services fr mre than ne year, 7.6% f survey respndents reprted having been arrested in the past 12 mnths with a slightly higher prprtin (10.1%) indicating having been arrested in the 12 mnths prir t that time frame. Fr thse wh had received services fr less than ne year, 5.4% reprted having been arrested since beginning behaviral health services. A slightly higher prprtin (18.1%) was arrested in the 12 mnths prir t beginning behaviral health services. Please nte that a significant percentage (77.2% and 78.6% respectively) did nt answer the last tw questins. Payr Surce: On this year s survey, tw survey questins addressed payr surce. There were tw specific items n the survey: D yu currently receive Medicaid? with a yes/n answer and What frm f payment best describes yur payment plan fr services here? with multiple ptins. Fr thse wh respnded t the Medicaid questins, 60.1% were currently receiving Medicaid at the time f survey cmpletin (with nly 2.2% f respndents missing data n this item). The next highest endrsed ptin was Medicaid/Medicare c-pay was the mst frequently chsen, fllwed by n payment (16.2%) and sliding scale (13.7%). Please see Appendix D fr all respnses. FY2012 and 2013 Demgraphic Cmparisn: Each year, the Office cmpares the current respndent demgraphics t prir years. This is dne fr tw reasns t ensure data integrity and t lk at demgraphic trends acrss time. FY2013 data are similar t FY2014 s, demnstrating that the ppulatins are highly cmparable. See Figures 2 and 3 fr FY2013 and FY2014 fr demgraphic cmparisns f age and race/ethnicity data. 7

9 MHSIP Respndents Cmpared t the CCAR Ppulatin The MHSIP respndents demgraphics were als examined in cmparisn t demgraphics fr the Clrad Client Assessment Recrd (CCAR) ppulatin. Any individual wh receives treatment at a public behaviral health center r specialty clinic has a CCAR cmpleted by a clinician. The CCAR demgraphic measures are mre cmplete and are thus a mre representative sample f peple receiving behaviral health services within the state. As such, the samples were cmpared t explre whether the MHSIP sample is representative f this larger grup. Statistical cmparisns were nt cnducted as the sample sizes vary greatly in size, the instruments measure demgraphics slightly differently, and are cmpleted by different individuals (i.e., the MHSIP is self-reprt and the CCAR is clinician reprt). Furthermre, The Office implemented changes t bth the race and ethnicity variables starting in January This lead t FY2014 year data cntaining tw different race and ethnicity measures fr half the year. Every attempt was made t recncile the data and present, as accurately as pssible, a prtrait f demgraphic infrmatin frm the CCAR ppulatin. The tw samples were cmpared n gender, age, ethnicity, and race. In general, the tw samples are demgraphically similar: mre wmen receiving services than men, and adults (21-65) as the primary age grup served. Respndents identifying as Hispanic/Latin(a) in bth samples was similar with 20.2% n the MHSIP and 21% n the CCAR. These data shw the CCAR ppulatin cntinues t be cmparable t the MHSIP ppulatin. Please see Appendix E fr a detailed cmparisn f CCAR and MHSIP demgraphic data. Overall Dmain Results The Office cmputes dmain scres fr the seven dmains captured n the MHSIP survey. Using the five pint Likert-scale, agreement is defined as a mean that ranges frm 1 t 2.49, whereas disagreement is defined as a mean that ranges frm 2.50 t 5. Respndents wh did nt answer at least tw-thirds f the dmain items did nt receive a dmain scre and were excluded frm analysis. This methd f cmputatin fllws natinal recmmendatins frm the Substance Abuse Mental Health Service Administratin (SAMHSA). Table 1 presents the ttal mean scre results, in percentages, fr FY2014, as well as fr FY2010/2011, FY2012 and FY2013. Lking at the trends ver time, FY2014 levels f agreement remained relatively stable fr all dmains cmpared t prir years. Please refer t Appendix F where percentages f agreement/disagreement fr the 5- pint Likert scale are presented by item within each dmain. 9

11 Ppulatin Characteristics and Dmain Agreement Parametric statistics were used t analyze mean difference fr gender, age, ethnicity, race, and Medicaid grups fr all MHSIP dmains. When apprpriate, certain respnse chices (i.e., Prefer Nt t Answer), with small sample sizes, were remved befre analysis. Gender 1 Independent sample t-tests results fund statistically significant mean differences between men and wmen fr three dmains. Lwer scres were reprted by men than wmen acrss the fllwing dmains: Quality: [t (3393) 3.73, p =.000] Satisfactin: [t (3537) 4.21, p =.000] Participatin: [t (3524) 4.47, p =.000] Fr all ther demgraphic grups there were n statistically significant mean differences. In the past, previus statistical methdlgies were used t analyze these grup differences; hwever, the Office has since adpted a mre cnservative methdlgy leading t the decrease in differences reprted this year. Qualitative Cmments Tw pen-ended survey questins queried cnsumers abut their tw mst and least liked aspects f the services they received. In respnse t these questins, apprximately 76% f respndents prvided written cmments t ne r bth f the questins. What Cnsumers Like Mst The respnses t the pen-ended questin f What tw things d yu like mst abut the services yu receive? were reviewed fr cmmn themes. The fllwing themes were fund frm the respnses: Psitive Experiences with Staff There were numerus cmments regarding the friendliness f staff, including therapists, psychiatrists, and supprt staff. Many individuals mentined specific CMHC emplyees by name. Everyne is helpful and upbeat. 1 Respnses f Transgender and Dn t Knw were remved frm analysis due t small number f respnses. 11

12 Clinician/Therapist is genuinely interested and cncerned abut my well-being. She encurages me t d what is best fr me. Curteus, prfessinal, and caring service acrss the bard Nn-Judgmental and Feeling Heard Cmments n nt feeling judged r being listened t were als cmmn. I feel I am being listened t and heard. I dn t feel like I m being judged r like a sick persn. The therapist s ability t listen and understand my cncerns when I feel I barely knw what t say. Treatment Gals Anther cmmn theme was cnsumers expressing appreciatin that they were included in the treatment planning prcess. They culd decide what they wanted their gals and utcmes t be and nt have it dictated by their therapist. I am able t participate in my treatment plan and meds. I like the way I can make my wn decisin abut my treatment. I am invlved in my treatment plan and staff are very psitive in believing that I can grw, change and recver. Services/Grups The specific services being ffered were als mentined frequently. Many cnsumers cmmented they appreciated the amunt f services available and many specifically mentined grup therapy r specific therapies by name (i.e., dialectical behaviral therapy). What Cnsumers Like Least The respnses t the pen-ended questin f What tw things d yu like least abut the services yu receive? were als reviewed fr cmmn themes. Many were the ppsite f thse fund in the psitive cmments. Feeling Judged r Nt in Cntrl f Their Treatment The [dctrs] make yu feel bad abut yurself. Difficulty Scheduling Appintments Cmments abut difficulty getting appintments were acrss different types f prviders, such as therapists, case managers, and psychiatrists. Many respndents als stated that prviders did nt return their phne calls r were delayed in returning phne calls. I am nt able t get an appintment in a timely manner when I need ne. It is smetimes difficult t get in t be seen. When I call t make appintments, cannt reach anyne. 12

13 Cst f Services Sme respndents stated that they didn t have enugh mney fr the services. Other cmments were regarding incnsistent billing and the general cst f services. My mental health can t be imprved n in this incme It is way t expensive at $35! Lcatin and Envirnment Respndents wh cmmented abut lcatin stated that the center was t far frm their hme and difficult t attend n a regular basis. There were als cmplaints abut the verall envirnment. Parking is nt gd The bad smell Nt enugh tea flavrs. Building atmsphere des nt have a warm feeling here. Staff Turnver/Staff Overlad The turnver f staff was anther theme reflected in the respnses. There s been t much turn-ver lately and gd clinicians, psychiatrist have left. Wuld like mre cnsistent availability f dctrs (psychiatrists, etc.); nt s much f peple in and ut f center (jbwise at the center). Outcmes Fewer respndents discussed utcme explicitly in their respnses. Sme were nt satisfied with the lack r rate f prgress. I am having difficulty making meaningful changes smetimes it feels like I can t mve frward. I feel that they need mre treatment ptins. Discussin and Implicatins The MHSIP Cnsumer Survey ffers valuable infrmatin n cnsumer perspectives f Clrad behaviral health services. Althugh the MHSIP survey has limitatins, the use f the survey in cmmunity behaviral health settings allws fr feedback acrss a brad spectrum f behaviral health cnsumers regarding satisfactin. Hwever, it is imprtant t interpret these findings with its limitatins in mind. Limitatins include the fllwing: The cnvenience sampling methd used fr the MHSIP survey nly samples cnsumers wh are currently attending sessins at a public behaviral health agency. These data d nt capture the pinins f cnsumers wh have discntinued services with the agency fr whatever reasn r thse unable t access services. 13

14 There is n infrmatin n wh declines t cmplete the survey and hw they may differ frm thse wh respnded. The Office is unable t capture thse individuals wh successfully cmpleted treatment/services and hw their respnses might differ. Despite these limitatins, the MHSIP prvides rich infrmatin that may be helpful fr infrming future behaviral health services. Overall, the majrity f respndents indicated that their perceptins f Access, Quality/Apprpriateness, Participatin and General Satisfactin were generally satisfactry. The Outcmes, Functining, and Scial Cnnectedness dmains were nted as having the lwest levels f agreement. Hwever, it is imprtant t nte that despite utcme scres being lwer than ther dmains, tw-thirds f respndent still rate these dmains psitively. One pssible explanatin fr the cnsistent finding f lwer levels f agreement fr these dmains is that cnsumers wh are currently receiving services are nt able t assess utcmes as well as they culd after they have cmpleted treatment. Anther explanatin culd be that mst respndents are able t easily identify their pinins abut cmpnents f treatment, but have a harder time identifying hw thse cmpnents translate int impacting their lives. In summary, the MHSIP Cnsumer Survey fr FY2014 agency data prvides invaluable infrmatin regarding cnsumer perceptins and supprts the ideals f a cnsumerdriven mdel; this infrmatin can infrm change and highlight strengths fr individual behaviral health centers and fr the state as a whle.
