>From the report's Executive Summary:

The Kentucky Center for Mental Health Studies, Inc. (KCMHS), with technical assistance from The Evaluation Center@HSRI (TEC), held organized discussions to gather information about consumer research activities in the states. In particular, KCMHS inquired about 1) the consumers' involvement in evaluation and research, 2) the areas in which consumers desire technical assistance in these fields, and 3) consumers' familiarity with a consumer grant program that funds consumer evaluation and research activities entitled The Consumer Evaluator Network. The purpose of this project is to inform technical assistance centers, such as TEC through its Consumer Evaluator Network, where to direct resources in regards to consumer research and evaluation activities.
