Project Period: 09/30/2003 - 09/29/2006
Building on Maryland's commitment to integrate effective treatments into routine health care settings for those with severe mental illness, this project will provide training on Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) to three sites. Upon successful implementation, and completion of Training of Trainer activities, these sites will become the ACT Training Resource Programs for the State. Evaluation activities will assess training efforts, program fidelity, implementation, and outcomes. The project will address the gap between scientific advances in knowledge about effective treatments for persons with serious mental illness and the availability of those services in routine health care settings. Program implementation will be closely monitored, including fidelity to the model and consumer outcomes. Once the initial three sites receive training and education in ACT and successfully implement programs in their own agencies, they will receive special training on becoming ACT trainers themselves. This 'train the trainer' model will be piloted within the state as a mechanism for disseminating evidence-based practices, expanding the long term capacity of the system to provide ACT and other EBPs to consumers. The project will expand on the collaborative relationship between the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) and the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry (Mental Health Systems Improvement Collaborative). Also, in partnership with On Our Own of Maryland (OOOMD), the statewide mental health consumer advocacy group, consumers will be trained to administer a survey to ACT clients assessing consumer satisfaction, including cultural competency. This aggregate information, along with the ongoing collection of outcomes conducted by the sites, will then be used to help the ACT provider sites assess their services for relevance, satisfaction to consumers and for cultural competency, and to take corrective measures when necessary.

FY 2004 Funding: : $30,000
Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2006
This research proposal will generate national rates of the co-occurrence of substance misuse and mental health problems among adolescents and it will investigate the role of youth social integration and perceptions of social disorganization as potential barriers to treatment for substance abuse and mental health problems. This study is a secondary analysis of data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) 2000. The NSDUH includes a national probability sample of adolescents in the United States and it will be used to: 1) Describe the epidemiological characteristics of youth (aged 12 to 17 years) who have co-occurring mental health and substance abuse (MH/SA) problems compared to those who have either a mental health or substance abuse problem, 2) examine the relationship between symptoms and receipt of MH/SA services for co-occurring problems compared to those with either an MH or SA problem and 3) identify barriers to access to MH/SA services for youth with MH/SA co-occurring problems. Given that the majority of adolescents with MH/SA problems do not receive treatment and that this is an under-studied area, this research proposal should make a contribution to understanding why this adolescent MH/SA services treatment gap exists and may inform how to develop interventions and policies aimed at increasing the number of adolescents receiving services.
