Webcast Available on Evidence for Consumer-Driven Services

The UIC National Research and Training Center is offering this workshop entitled "Grading the Evidence for Consumer-Driven Services" as part of its National Web-Based Education Program. The speakers, Drs. Judith Cook, Jean Campbell, and Lisa Razzano discuss the evidence base for consumer-operated, delivered, and centered services, where people control the kinds of help they get, from whom, and in what settings. They present the evidence grading pyramid, along with the specific levels of evidence for models such as recovery self-management, drop-in centers, advance directives, and self-directed care. A special focus of this web cast is on the results of the national multi-site research study of consumer-operated service programs or COSP, directed by people in recovery, and funded by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS).
