IMPERIAL COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES Consumer Perception Survey Results FY 1-16 Purpose of Survey The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is required to collect and report to the legislature data on county performance as established by AB 188 (Bronzan, Chapter 89, Statutes of 1991), commonly known as Realignment. Additionally, as a condition of receiving federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funds, DHCS must also be responsive to federal performance reporting initiatives and incorporate nationally derived accountability indicators. Methodology The survey method uses a point-in-time method that targets all consumers receiving face-to-face mental health services, case-management, day treatment and medication services from county-operated and contract organization providers during a two-week sampling period semi-annually, throughout the state of California. During FY 1-16 the Consumer Perception Survey was administered twice (Fall 21 and Spring 216) to consumers receiving services at all MHP team centers. The survey was administered in the threshold languages of English and Spanish. Prior to the date of the survey a specialized training Consumer Perception Survey Data Collection Training was provided to Adult, Children and Youth and Young Adult Service staff. The following groups receiving specialty mental health services were surveyed during two sampling periods over the fiscal year, 17 youth (age 1-17), 89 family members/caregivers of youth, 1 adults (age 18-9), and 6 older adults (age 6+). There were a total of 7 participants in the Fall of 21 and 68 participants in the Spring 216. The following is a summary of the findings of the FY 1-16 Consumer Perceptions Surveys Satisfaction Rates. A total of 17 youth surveys were completed during FY 1-16. During Fall 21 and Spring 216 youth participants reported high satisfaction (76-9%) in the areas of General Satisfaction, Access, Participation in Treatment Planning, Social Connectedness and Cultural Sensitivity. The lowest satisfaction (7-72%) reported by youth was in the following areas: outcome of services, and perception of functioning. Detailed information for the Youth survey results is found on pages -8. A total of 89 youth families surveys were completed during FY 1-16.
