▼ The purpose of this project was to address the effectiveness of Turning Point Community Programs (TPCP) Integrated
Service Agency (ISA) in providing
mental health services. A literature review was conducted to assess the need and challenges for outcomes of Wellness and Recovery Oriented services. As human
service organizations compete for available dollars to provide
mental health services to those with severe and persistent
mental illness, it is imperative to demonstrate the effectiveness of services. This researcher analyzed secondary data, Level of Care Utilization System and Milestones of Recovery Scale scores, obtained from TPCP ISA for all members served for fiscal year 2008/2009. The research supported that continuous Recovery based
mental health services do positively impact TPCP ISA
mental health consumers.

▼ The utilization of Recovery Oriented Care (U-ROC) training program was developed based on a needs assessment conducted on clinical supervisors. The goal of the program was to provide a training program that would further enhance the development and supervisor knowledge in the utilization of recovery oriented care’s (ROC) 10 principles in supervision. The training program addressed the needs of supervisors in the
California Mental Health Service Act organizations that are using ROC in their supervision with supervisees. The program provided supervisors with information on the utilization of ROC principles in supervision. Supervisors typically follow various supervision models or therapeutic interventions. As new models and interventions are introduced into the field of behavioral
health, supervisors are typically the ones that will assist in the dissemination of information and application of the model or intervention. The following objectives and activities provided measureable outcomes to indicate the enhanced development and knowledge of the supervisor. These objectives were measured by results from the U-ROC multiple choice and self-report survey at 3 different time points (pre test, posttest, and one-month follow up). Upon completion of the 4 hour U-ROC training, supervisors are (1) knowledgeable on the background of ROC and
Mental Health Service Act (MHSA), the improvement in their knowledge in ROC prior to and after training will be indicated by a difference in scores on the pre and post test; (2) knowledgeable about the 10 principles and have identified at least one new way to apply the principles during supervision. (3) Discuss how the principles apply to the process of supervision. (4) Demonstrate through role-play their ability to utilize ROC principles in supervision. The training program evaluation is based on the U-ROC multiple choice test and self-report survey pre test, posttest, and one month follow up. The results of supervisors scores indicated to the evaluator that supervisors are able to (1) demonstrate that they are aware of the different principles and its meaning (2) utilize the principles in their supervision (3) have a greater knowledge of the application of the principles by implementing the various skills they learned from the training.

▼ As California implements the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, it is important to examine the various types of insurance coverage and their association with mental health need and service utilization. Using data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) 2011-2012, this current study compared the mental health need and service use of California adults with various insurance types. The findings revealed that respondents' various insurance types were differentially associated with their mental health need and service use. In citing reasons for not seeking treatment, the uninsured were more likely to be concerned about cost, and the Medicare & Others group was less likely to be concerned about cost than those with Privately Purchased insurance. The Employment-Based insurance group was significantly more likely than the Privately Purchased group to be "concerned about what would happen if someone found out". Further, both the uninsured and the Medicare & Others group were more likely to discontinue treatment compared to their Privately Purchased counterparts. The reasons for discontinuing treatment varied among the different insurance groups. The results suggest that the ACA will improve mental health by reducing concerns about cost reported by the uninsured. However, there is still a need for programs to address other barriers to treatment.

Clinical Significance of Psychotic Experiences in the General Population.

▼ Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of psychotic disorders is exceeded by that of sub-threshold psychotic experiences, which are phenomenologically similar to threshold psychosis but of less intensity or associated impairment. Recent research has highlighted the potential clinical significance of psychotic experiences with regards to psychological distress, service utilization, psychiatric comorbidities, and suicide risk. The aims of this three paper dissertation are to: 1) determine risk for suicidal behavior among respondents with psychotic experiences; 2) examine the prevalence of psychotic experiences among respondents with common mental disorders, and describe the clinical significance of these symptoms when occurring in the context of common mental disorders; and 3) evaluate factors associated with the persistence or remission of psychotic experiences in the general population. For all three papers, data were drawn from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (n=20,013), composed of the National Comorbidity Survey-Replication, National Latino and Asian American Study, and National Survey of American Life. Psychotic experiences and other clinical variables were assessed using the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview, version 3.0. Analyses consisted primarily of logistic regression models, with effect sizes calculated as adjusted odds ratios. Psychotic experiences were found to be associated with elevated risk for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, and with multiple co-morbidities with common mental health conditions. The persistence of psychotic experiences over time was primarily associated with the type of symptom experienced (i.e. hearing voices) and with marital status. Co-morbid mental health conditions, although extensive, did not predict the persistence of psychotic experiences, although persistent psychotic experiences were associated with ongoing suicide risk. Together, these data support the clinical significance of sub-threshold psychotic experiences among a large general population sample of adults in the United States. The most clinically notable features of psychotic experiences are that they indicate drastically elevated risk for suicide attempts (particularly severe attempts with intent to die) and the presence of multiple co-morbid mental health conditions. These findings will have clinical utility in highlighting unique needs of individuals with sub-threshold psychotic symptoms, and will have public health value in identifying a significant risk factor for severe suicidal behavior that may be easily screened in the general population as well as in clinical settings.

▼ This study used thematic narrative analysis to address the question: How do older adults who experience serious ongoing symptoms of schizophrenia understand and express stories of their personal survivorship in the face of life-course and present-time adversities? Framed by the developmental life course perspective and using major constructs of the theory of cumulative adversity and advantage to formulate a line of semi-structured questioning for narrative interviews about the life course experiences of older adults with schizophrenia who experienced ongoing illness symptoms, analysis of 31 interviews with six older adults with schizophrenia yielded findings across five central areas. Shared core themes included: 1) "My life as it is has value:" Narrating schizophrenia in later life; 2) "I have a key and live like a real person:" Homelessness and housing challenges in retrospect; 3) "There's not been jobs:" The meaning of employment; 4) "God told me how we're going to meet back up:" Narratives of relational conflict and loss, adjustment and renewal. A fifth area of findings developed the theory of cumulative adversity and advantage across the life course with schizophrenia. These results improve our understanding of the subjective experience of a highly vulnerable but grossly understudied and underserved population. Recommendations for focusing future research and development of more effective social work practice and policies are made.

▼ Though not specifically stated in the legislation, the MHSA is, on paper, a transformative piece of legislation. It attempts to completely transform the current mode of
mental health services: from expert driven treatments to consumer driven treatments; from deficit models of treatment to strength based models of treatment. The question addressed in this research is whether or not this transformation is occurring and, if so, how and why.
Sources of Data
The actual subjects of this research are organizations that receive funds under the
Mental Health Services
Act. This exploratory case study involves the use of both primary and secondary data sources. The secondary data, planning documents, funding streams, steering committee minutes/plans, and historical documents, are all public information. The secondary data will provide an historical context, which in turn will allow the researcher to better understand and assess the primary data. The primary data comes from interviews of directors/managers from each case. The interviews were directed towards ascertaining the influencing factors and barriers involved in implementing the services and treatment approaches designated by the MHSA. Interviews will also provide the researcher opportunities to explore organizational
service transformation, which is one of the expectations of the MHSA.
Conclusions Reached
The findings suggest that the primary factor influencing organizations to move to a Wellness and Recovery Model is the availability of money/funding. There were no barriers per se; this researcher found that organizations faced significant challenges in their efforts to transition from a Medical Model or Social Rehabilitation treatment model to the Wellness and Recovery treatment approach.

▼ This thesis examines the implications of the changes introduced by the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 for mental health services. It focuses on two main issues. Firstly, the impact on mental health services of the 'market' system of purchasers and providers introduced by the 1990 Act. Second.ly, the extent to which the 1990 changes had led to any increase in user participation and involvement in the planning and delivery of psychiatric services. Analysis of the existing theoretical literature found that there had been little research which focused on the specific implications of health care 'markets' for mental health services. In addition, much of the work on the development of psychiatry had not focused on the role of the local context in influencing the nature of mental health service provision. In this thesis these issues are explored through a case study of the mental health services of one English county. Semistructured, qualitative interviews were und.ertaken with managers, professionals and individuals in purchaser, provider and voluntary sector organisations. People using community mental health services in the county were also interviewed. This contrasts with many previous studies which have tended to concentrate exclusively on users of in-patient services. The study found that local circumstances played a significant role in the relationships between those purchasing, providing and participating in mental health services. The imminent closure of a large Victorian psychiatric hospital and the uncertainty about which services would replace it had been a source of tension between the newly formed purchaser and provider organisations in the county under study. The lack of any strong existing groups in the local area representing users of mental health services was also significant. It meant that increased user participation in the county after the 1990 Act was reliant on initiatives by managers and professionals rather than organised pressure from user groups and users themselves. The variety of different local mental health agencies purchasing and providing mental health services in the county called for a degree of cooperation between organisations which conflicted with the competition encouraged by the 'market' system introduced by the 1990 Act. The focus, first, on psychiatric services in the examination of 'markets' and, second, the importance of the local context in mental health service development provides the basis for the study's contribution to theoretical and policy debates both about the 1990 Act and psychiatric services in general.

▼ In Canada, the prevalence of mental illness is high among young people with 13% of
Canadian youth aged 15-24 years affected. This striking mental health burden warranted
further investigation of the contextual (i.e., family-level) determinants of mental illness early in
life, and the extent to which these family factors influenced access and use of mental health
services. Previous evidence shows that indicators of less supportive family environments, and
family dysfunction are robust factors predicting the onset of internalizing and externalizing
mental illness in children. Family dysfunction has also been associated with decreased medical
adherence, which can lead to a subsequent increase in “crisis” mental health care (e.g.,
hospitalizations). However, less is known about the extent to which the family environment is
associated with mental health service use in children. In an attempt to address this gap, this
research examined the interrelationships of family functioning, child mental illness, and mental
health service use and access. Understanding the role of the family in accessing and using child
mental health services is knowledge needed to improve the provision of health services to
children and families, particularly through the adoption of family-centred care strategies in
inpatient, outpatient, and community settings.
The aims of this research project were to: 1—Examine associations between family
functioning and internalizing versus externalizing mental illness. Better family functioning will
be associated with lower odds of internalizing (depression, anxiety) and externalizing (attention deficit
hyperactivity, oppositional defiant, conduct) illnesses. 2—Examine associations between
family functioning and odds of past-year health professional consults, hospitalizations, and
length of hospital stay. Better family functioning will be associated with lower odds of past-year
health professional consults, hospitalizations, and length of hospital stay. 3—Identify which
domains of family functioning are associated with odds of internalizing versus externalizing
mental illness, past-year health professional consults, hospitalizations, and length of hospital
stay. Problem solving, communication, and behaviour control will be the most relevant aspects
of family functioning in predicting mental illness and service use and access.
Data came from a cross-sectional study, which recruited 100 youth aged 4-17 years
currently receiving mental health services (inpatient or outpatient) and their parents at a large
paediatric tertiary care centre in Ontario. Family functioning was measured using the McMaster
Family Assessment Device (FAD), youth mental illness using the Mini International
Neuropsychiatric Interview, and mental health service use and access using items from the
2012 Canadian Community Health Survey (Mental Health). Controlling for relevant covariates,
associations between family functioning and child mental illness and use of mental health
services were examined using…

▼ The purpose of this research is to take a closer look at the most recent reform to
health care coverage and policy implemented in 2013, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act PL 111-148. More specifically, this research is a review of the literature on
what the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act means for newly covered populations and services, which in turn will inform local agencies and the
service providers of Humboldt County. Humboldt County utilizes a Systems of Care
service delivery approach, which is an inter-agency collaboration that provides families with a broad and integrated process to meet their diverse needs. Individuals involved in systems of care, like Child Welfare Services, Public
Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs, etc., may now have better access and coverage to much needed services. This research can provide information on what the current
health care reforms are and how they may potentially impact the children and families of Humboldt County.

▼ This thesis is concerned with determining whether
South African
mental health law and its application in practice is
in need of reform. In order to reach its objectives, the thesis
measures
mental health legislation and criminal law that affect the
mentally ill individual or offender against international and local
human rights standards, and generally accepted principles and
scientific principles applicable in the
mental health profession.
Particular focus is placed on the admission of a mentally ill
person as a voluntary, assisted or involuntary
mental health care
user, State Patient or mentally disordered prisoner in terms of the
Mental Health Care
Act 17 of 2002 (?MHCA?), as well a critical
review of the MHCA forms used to translate the
Act?s provisions
into practice. The thesis critically discusses the regulation of
mental health care practitioners in terms of the
Health Professions
Act 56 of 1974, including psychology and psychiatry and the expert
witness, and the new Traditional
Health Practitioners
Act 22 of
2007 and its regulations. An outline of the role of the National
Health Act 61 of 2003 in the administration of the
health system is
provided.The thesis analyses the manners in which
mental health
affects criminal liability, and Chapter 13 of the Criminal
Procedure
Act 51 of 1977. Finally a desktop study into the current
state of
mental health care provision and the implementation of
legislation in practice is conducted, followed by conclusions and
recommendations for reform to legislation, policy, and the MHCA
forms where anomalies have been identified.

▼ Many personal, situational and environmental factors serve as barriers and facilitators to community-based
mental health service use. An important factor to consider is perceived
mental illness stigma, which can be defined as an awareness of the potential negative stereotypes and social exclusion that may result from having a
mental disorder. Models of
health service use are often used in
mental health services research, but these models generally fail to include perceived
mental illness as a factor. This study proposed the addition of perceived stigma as an important predisposing factor in the Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations. Through a secondary data analysis of interview data collected from 431 female and male jail detainees, this dissertation examined the relationships between predisposing, enabling and need-based factors and
mental health service use. Data was collected from jail detainees housed in the psychiatric treatment units of the Cook County Department of Corrections. The study used the World
Mental Health – Composite International Diagnostic Interview, which was adapted to for a correctional population and included the Perceived Devaluation and Discrimination scale to measure perceived
mental illness stigma. Findings from the research showed that a number of factors positively or negatively influenced
mental health service use in this sample. Increases in perceive
mental illness stigma, the main variable of interest, were shown to increase the incidence rates of
service use. This finding was contrary to expected outcomes, as it was predicted that stigma would decrease incidence rates of
service use. The need to receive care in spite of potentially stigmatizing
service delivery and possible involvement in public, mandated or coerced care were cited as possible reasons for this finding. Other factors that increased the likelihood of using services included having positive attitudes toward
mental health service use, endorsing higher levels of religiosity, being insured and having access to regular care. Findings of the study have relevance for social work education, practice and research. Efforts to reduce stigma at the individual, clinical, systems and social levels should enhance personal wellbeing, improve social inclusion, reduce devaluation and discrimination and increase
mental health service use over time.

▼ This project provides an overview of international, national, and local policy initiatives that
support the need for systemic changes within the
mental health system in
California.
California, being the 6th largest economy in the world and one of the largest public
mental
health systems, has laid groundwork for change strategies both nationally and internationally.
The
Mental Health Services
Act of 2004 (MHSA) has become the instrumental within the
state that has set up the framework for the transformation of a wellness and recovery,
consumer oriented system. The components of the MHSA support the national
recommendations of the President's New Freedom as well as other well-known reports and
California has conceptualized and begun to implement those recommendations within their
county systems. This project examines the Community
Service Plans of the ten counties,
which include Sacramento, Solano, Amador, Placer, Napa, San Joaquin, El Dorado, Yolo,
Sutter and Contra Costa. This study utilizes content analysis as it research method in order to
view how the MHSA is implemented into local community services and supports programs.

▼ The purpose of this research study was to explore Mexican women’s perceptions about utilizing
mental health services and to explore the barriers encountered during the process. Previous research suggested Mexican women’s diverse experiences when seeking and utilizing
mental health services. The study used a qualitative approach with open-ended and closed-ended questions. The sample size of this study was fifteen individuals who self-identified as Mexican women who reside in Southern
California recruited using a snowball approach. Major themes identified included Mexican family values and beliefs, cultural barriers, structural barriers, Mexican women’s strengths, and community suggestions for social work practice. This study highlighted their perspective on
mental health, cultural and structural barriers, their personal experiences of utilizing
mental health services, techniques on managing difficult situations, support systems, identified
mental health symptoms, coping methods, cultural values and suggestions to improve
mental health services in the general Latino community.

▼ This thesis aimed to examine service contact among children and young people with mental health problems, and has three complementary parts. The first is a secondary analysis of data from the British Child and Adolescent Mental Health Survey (BCAMHS) 2004, which explored mental health related service contact in relation to psychopathology over three years. The second and third parts focussed on young people with ADHD in transition from child services, which is a particularly challenging time. This involved a qualitative interview study of young peoples’ experiences, and an analysis of primary care prescribing of ADHD medication over the transition period using a cohort from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink from 2005-2013. Less than a third of children with a psychiatric disorder in BCAMHS reported contact with child mental health services. Instead, teachers were the most frequently used service, with two-thirds reporting mental health related contact. Interviews with young people with ADHD highlighted themes including concerns around medication management post transition and need for information. The prescribing analysis found that the majority of adolescents on ADHD medication at age 16 stopped during the transition period. This continuing disparity between estimates of symptom persistence and medication persistence suggests that many may be stopping medication from which they could still benefit; as various barriers have been identified to ongoing prescribing. In summary, the findings of these three linked studies suggest common themes in terms of unmet needs and gaps between policy and practice in mental health services for children and young people. One of the chief implications is the need for oversight and policy levers to ensure the implementation of best practice, accompanied by complementary efforts to better understand and overcome other barriers to providing optimal care, including research into knowledge and attitudes of different groups and the provision of targeted training.

▼ Purpose: The first objectives of the current study was to determine whether disparities exist in
mental health and
mental health service use between minority and majority Canadian Francophone and Anglophone communities both within and outside of Quebec. The second objectives was to examine if official language minority-majority status was associated with the presence of common
mental health problems and
mental health service utilization.
Methodology: The current study used data from the Canadian Community
Health Survey:
Mental Health and Well-being, Cycle 1.2.7 Two main comparisons were made: Quebec Francophones to Quebec Anglophones, and outside Quebec Francophones to outside Quebec Anglophones. Twelve-month and lifetime prevalences of
mental disorders and
mental health service use were examined through bivariate analyses. Logistic regression analyses determined whether official language minority-majority status significantly predicts
mental health problems and
mental health service use using the Determinants of
Health Model8-10 and Andersen’s behavioural model.11-13
Results: Very few significant differences were found between official language groups both outside and within Quebec, though some notable differences were found between Quebec and outside Quebec: Anglophones and Francophones outside Quebec had a higher prevalence of poor
mental health and low life satisfaction compared their respective language counterparts in Quebec. Respondents from outside Quebec had a higher prevalence of consulting with a psychiatrist than respondents from Quebec. There was no significant association between membership in an Official Language Minority Community and
mental health problems, and
mental health service use.
Implications: Although our results indicate that very few differences exist between official language minority and majority groups, these findings remain important and can help aid key stakeholders redirect resources and develop policies and programs towards areas and geographic locations wherein
health disparities exist.

▼ Research on mental health outcomes among racial-ethnic, sexual, and gender minority young people indicates that they may be at increased risk for service use disparities when these identity statuses intersect. However, evidence of how having multiple minority identities is related to using mental health services is lacking. This dissertation used a mixed-methods, convergent design to explore and describe relationships between intersecting minority identities and mental health service use in the experiences of 31 Black and Hispanic, sexual and gender minority young adults. Consistent with an intersectional perspective, findings indicated that mental health service use was more strongly associated with minority identities collectively than with any single minority identity, and that experiences of intersecting minority identities could facilitate, as well as hinder, mental health service use among participants. A theoretical model was revealed in which participants negotiated multiple minority identities within four dimensions related to their service use: ethnic-racial culture, intersecting identities, family, and personal identities. Results suggested provider strategies that support intersecting minority identity strengths around culture, community belonging, and self-efficacy may encourage service use and engagement with treatment.

▼ This dissertation study contributes to the research on Latino mental health service utilization by examining the determinants of utilization of mental health services, while considering Latino socio-cultural factors. Using the Andersen Behavioral Model of Health Service Utilization (BMHSU) as a theoretical framework, secondary data analysis was conducted using the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS), a nationally representative household survey, focusing on mental disorders and mental health service utilization. Results indicate that only 9% of the Latino population surveyed, including those with a depressive, anxiety, substance use, and/or behavioral disorder, report having used at least one source of mental health service. The findings highlight the BMHSU determinants of mental health service utilization and the need for research to increase our understanding of the socio-cultural barriers and facilitators to using mental health services among Latinos in the United States.

▼ Background and Objectives: Globally, rates of individuals experiencing mental health disorders are increasing, with an estimated 450 million people affected with studies showing that about half of the Canadian population will have or have had a mental health illness by the age of 40. Many mental health disorders present earlier in life and it has been shown that early identification of mental health disorders, along with effective treatment would increase the possibility of positive outcomes immediately and in later life. With more university and college students presenting with mental health disorders of increasing severity, there is a need to investigate different means of dealing with mental health disorders. Resilience has been shown to promote good mental wellbeing in individuals however what is not known is what role it plays in the presentation or ability to manage some mental health disorders. This led to the study inquiry to understand the role played by resilience in university students’ mental health service use.
Method: This study had a qualitative research design because of the fairly unknown nature of the research phenomenon. I purposively sampled nineteen participants from two sample frames: students who had used mental health services in the past 12 months and those who had not used the services. Face to face interviews were conducted using a semi structured interview guide. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and entered into the Nvivo qualitative data software. Study data were distilled into codes and thematically analysed into key themes to respond to the research objectives.
Results: The findings identified certain features of resilience and how they might affect students’ use or non-use of campus mental health services: (1) students who are resilient as a result of group-focussed self-adjustment strategies were more likely to use campus mental health services while students who engaged in individualised self adjustment strategies were likely not to use mental health services; (2) students who are resilient as a result of early childhood adversity were more likely to use campus mental health services, while those students who experienced adversity during their late teenage years were most likely not to use campus mental health services; (3) students who are resilient from having had emotional support early in their life were more likely to use mental health services than those who had emotional support later in life; (4) students who become resilient as a result of trying to attain internal or pressures were more likely to use campus mental health services than those who had to face external pressures. Additionally, the study validated other studies that point to resilience developing from adversity.
Conclusion: The findings of this study provided more information on the possible role of resilience on the use or non-use of campus mental health services by students. Its findings indicate that resilience is not a defining factor for whether or not university students use mental health…

▼ There is a steady critique towards the mental health field stating that people with mental health problems do not get the assistance they need. Often, this critique states that collaboration between different organisations is lacking or non-functional. As an increasingly common part in collaboration, service user participation has also been included in this critique as not being adequately performed. Within the mental health field, many studies has focus on collaboration and service user participation on operational level, with and between professionals in direct interaction with service users. Not as many has studied the strategic level of collaboration, between leaders and managers, planning and structuring the organisation of mental health services. This level has also within the operational level studies often been pointed out as paramount to collaboration on operational level.
The present thesis aims to describe and analyse collaboration and service user participation on strategic level. The following research questions are included: how are the strategic collaboration councils composed, and how do the participants handle the work within them? What experiences and opinions on collaboration do the participants have? How do the participants handle possibly contradicting expectations and interests from the surroundings and from their own organisations? How are service users and service user participation socially constructed, and what do such constructions entail? How do the participants handle collaboration as a practically unavoidable way of working?
Eight strategic collaboration councils from the north, middle, and south of Sweden were included in the study. The participants in these represented mostly social and mental health services, and in some cases Arbetsförmedlingen (the Swedish Public Employment Service), Försäkringskassan (Sweden’s social insurance agency), and service user organisations. 80 participants in all were included in the study, mostly managers. The councils were observed during one year, and the participants were asked to participate in an interview and a questionnaire. The material was analysed with the assistance of NVivo 9 and SPSS, and by the theoretical aid of new institutionalism, discourse analytic perspective, and negotiation.
The results showed a collaboration between the participants that revolved around norm and practice of collaboration. While all participants had very homogenous opinions and experiences of collaboration, showing of a strong norm supported by laws and regulations, there were also a discussion that showed of the possibility to negotiate that norm. Through negotiation and normative arguments, the participants could adhere to the norm that brings legitimacy to the organisation and the collaboration council, while further own interests and interpretations. Negotiation about collaboration meant that the participants could discuss collaboration in itself. Through choosing normative arguments, they could put forward certain aspects of the collaboration norm which gave…

▼ This dissertation addresses some of the gaps in the research on pediatric mental health (MH) repeat visits to the emergency department (ED). The primary objectives of this thesis are to systematically review the existing literature on youth MH return visits to the ED and to determine the incremental contribution of family factors in predicting these repeat ED visits.
The first study systematically reviewed and qualitatively summarized the available literature to better understand predictor of repeat visits. A search was performed using the following databases: PsycINFO, PubMed, and CINAHL. Reporting followed the PRISMA statement checklist and methodological quality was assessed using the following eight criteria: design, generalizability, breadth of predictors, reporting of effect sizes, additional outcomes, interaction terms, confounding variables, and clear definition of outcome. A total of 178 articles were retrieved; 11 articles met inclusion criteria. Findings revealed that repeat visits to the ED for MH concerns is a complex phenomenon that can be attributed to various demographic, clinical, and MH care access and utilization factors. Common predictors associated with repeat ED MH visits included socioeconomic status, involvement with child protective services, as well as previous and current MH service use. For studies using a six-month repeat window, the most common factors were previous psychiatric hospitalization and currently receiving MH services. This systematic review concluded that in order to further elucidate which variables are most significantly associated with repeat ED visits; future research should consider the use of prospective designs and the inclusion of family factors. Investigating recency and frequency outcomes may also be of importance. The second study aimed to determine if family characteristics are significantly associated with repeat ED visits over and above the contribution of demographic, clinical or service utilization factors. A retrospective cohort study of youth aged six to18 years treated at a tertiary pediatric ED for a discharge diagnosis related to MH was conducted. Data were gathered from medical records, telephone interviews, and questionnaires. Of 266 participants, 70 (26%) had a repeat visit. Receiving MH services within six-months of the index visit, having a parent with a history of treatment for MH concerns, higher severity of symptoms and living closer to the hospital were significantly associated with repeat visits as well as earlier and more frequent repeat visits. Prior psychiatric hospitalization was associated with repeat visits and more frequent repeat visits, while presenting with suicidality was associated with more frequent repeat visits. Family functioning and perceived family burden were not associated with repeat ED visits.
This thesis contributes to the growing literature on ED use in pediatric patients with mental illnesses and may be clinically useful to professionals working with repeat visitors. The identification of key factors could provide…

▼ This study tested the effects of a mental health practitioner's professional affiliation (psychiatry, clinical psychology, and social work), gender, and warmth on clients' perceptions of the professional's expertness and social attractiveness and the relationship between these perceptions and the influence the mental health practitioner has on client attitude change. Using social psychology's literature on attitude change as a frame of reference, the study was based on the premise that social work practice is a process of social influence in which the social worker attempts to influence clients to change their attitudes.
The subjects were 120 randomly selected male inpatients from an alcohol detoxification unit at a private hospital in New York City. They were randomly assigned to one of twelve experimental conditions based on the mental health practitioner's professional affiliation, gender, and the description of the practitioner as a warm or cold person. These experimental conditions were established by biographical sketches describing the mental health professional. The subjects then listened to a ten-minute segment of a simulated psychotherapy session and completed the Counselor Rating Form which measured the subjects' perceptions of the mental health practitioner's expertness and attractiveness, and the Persuasibility Questionnaire, which measured the tape mental health professional's influence on subjects' attitudes.
The results indicated that the practitioners from all three professions were perceived to be equally expert and attractive as were the male and female practitioners in both psychiatry and psychology. Although male and female social workers were perceived to be equally attractive, the male social workers were perceived to be significantly more expert than their female counterparts. When the psychiatrists and psychologists were described as warm they were perceived to be significantly more expert and attractive than when they were described as cold. However, the description of the social worker as warm had no differential effect on the subjects' perceptions. This resulted from the subjects' failure to see the social workers as cold, even when they were so described.
The overall findings of this study indicated that the more expert and attractive mental health professionals were perceived to be, the more influence they had in changing the subjects' attitudes. This held true for all subgroups except social workers and male mental health professionals.

▼ This quantitative study investigated the attitudes toward seeking psychological help as predicted by degree of acculturation, severity of self-reported problems, and beliefs about the cause of
mental health problems among West African immigrants in Northern
California. The research questions explored were centered on the level of comfort in admitting they have
mental, emotional and behavioral problems, and the level of comfort in seeking
mental health services from qualified professionals in Northern
California. The study also explored education, economy, acculturation, and access to information influencing the immigrants??? attitudes towards seeking
mental health services. One hundred and 16 respondents participated in the survey. The results identified interactional attribution beliefs about
mental health problems as the only significant predictor. West African immigrants reported various concerns with their
mental and physical
health. Overall, they reported preference for the use of informal systems of support to resolve their emotional concerns and the use of medical doctors for physical concern. In particular, West African immigrants??? preferred to seek the help of family, elder in the community, spiritual healer and using herbal means to solve their
mental health needs than going to medical doctors in the western system of medicine.

▼ There is a national, state and local concern that focuses upon the rapid growth of our elder population as well as those within the cohort that suffer with
mental illness. However, other than the numerous Alzheimer’s related headlines, there is little national or state consideration being given to non-dementia-related elder
mental illnesses. The lack of existing
mental health service programs to assist the elderly community merits attention. The Constructionist paradigm was the basis for this study, due to its reliance upon recognized leaders in the field engaging in an interactive group process. These leaders included politicians, governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, and other community leaders. Outcomes from this study produced five action oriented initiatives: Leadership, Funding Campaign, Elder Sensitivity Campaign, Enhancement of Existing Programs, and New Program Expansion. These initiatives, if implemented, could drive change and positively affect the elderly population with
mental illness within this central
California county research site.

▼ This project was intended to educate general educators about special education and is an inservice plan for teachers to experience as a half-day informational training. The general educators learn about the different categories of disabilities, programs, a brief summary about eligibility for special education, inclusion, mainstreaming, the role and purpose of a general educator at an Individualized Education Program meeting. This research was initiated because of general educators' requests for staff development about special education and best practices. Teachers from one school district within San Diego County were asked to complete a pretest questionnaire regarding what they knew about special education, the students with special needs within their classroom setting, and the need for inservice training about special education. The goal was for general education staff to recognize and recall special education concepts, facts and "jargon" (see Appendix B). The "jargon" activity will be referenced throughout inservice. At the end of the in-service, staff were assessed to determine what they learned about the "jargon" with which they needed to be familiar. References to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), contextual information, and activities will be lectured, completed, and discussed. Staff were encouraged to ask questions throughout the inservice. Staff also were referred to a packet (see Appendix B) as the inservice progressed: The packet includes common vocabulary, the "jargon" activity with answers, copy of slides (overhead projections) and a list of resources for more information about special education. The conclusion includes references to packet questions and answers, and a posttest about the knowledge gained along with an evaluation of the inservice.

health homes and explore concerns. Methods: The dissertation obtained data by conducting a nationwide web-based survey of peer-run organizations designed and implemented by the author, in collaboration with mentors and stakeholders. Almost 900 organizations/programs were
identified through contacting statewide consumer networks and state offices of consumer affairs. Final inclusion criteria were related to management structure. Following exclusions, there were 380 organizations in the analyses. Analyses are primarily descriptive; multinomial logistic regression is used for the second two aims. Results: The survey achieved a response rate of 80%. The study found that peer-run organizations are providing a range of community-based supports and activities, and that they vary in their resources. Analyses related to willingness to accept Medicaid show that many directors have concerns about how Medicaid reimbursement may affect the values-orientation of the organization and staffing capacity to bill Medicaid. Analyses on
health home participation demonstrate that existing patterns of encouraging members to use physical
health services is associated with willingness to collaborate on these newer healthcare delivery designs—but that some peer-run
organizations have concerns about working with medical professionals. Conclusion: This study increases our understanding of the current operations of peer-run organizations nationwide, and provides baseline data for monitoring the impact of policy changes on these organizations. Results related to the ACA can inform system design and reimbursement changes. The study’s design, data collection, and interpretation were directly informed by key stakeholders in order to ensure that the results would have immediate value to those invested in improving the lives of people with psychiatric disabilities.

▼ Esta pesquisa, em uma estratégia cartográfica de imersão no cotidiano do Serviço Residencial Terapêutico Morada São Pedro – serviço da rede substitutiva ao manicômio no cuidado em saúde mental – cria um aporte teórico, um eixo reflexivo, partindo do convite à criação de práticas de cuidado em saúde mental. A convocação ao pensamento se dá por composição, numa evolução que busca escapar de circularidades, passando por elaborações acerca do acolhimento à diferença-em-nós como um primeiro movimento de acoplamento de alteridade. Orientado pela perspectiva da composição de novos e inovadores espaços de produção de cuidado e acolhimento ao sofrimento psíquico, busca-se explorar o conceito de “território em ato” como potencial das artes, potencial do convite à participação e expressão dos coletivos (trabalhadores, alunos residentes) convocados à criação de práticas. Ao colocar-se ao lado e no lugar do cuidado, em pelo menos duas orientações iniciais para as práticas – invenção de um espaço teatral para trocas com a equipe de cuidado do serviço em questão e acompanhamento a moradores – o ator-pesquisador imergiu em uma proposta de pesquisa-intervenção na qual as práticas do cuidado em saúde mental se mostraram limitadas ao esbarrar em lógicas institucionais. O eixo de formação em serviço, com orientação multiprofissional, e o vislumbre de uma “pedagogia da implicação”, que convoca os coletivos de produção de saúde a trocas e acolhimento das demandas, em uma disponibilidade de escuta e exposição continuada, orientam as expectativas de acolhimento às expressões, busca de liberdade e capacidade inventiva.
This research, in a cartographic strategy of immersion in the daily life of the Residential Therapeutic Service Morada São Pedro – service of the substitute network to the asylum in mental health care – creates a theoretical contribution, a reflexive axis, starting from the invitation to the creation of care practices in mental health. The call to thought is given by composition, in an evolution that seeks to escape from circularities, passing through elaborations about the reception to the difference-in-us as a first movement of coupling of otherness. Oriented by the perspective of the composition of new and innovative spaces for the production of care and acceptance of psychic suffering, we sought to explore the concept of "in act territory" as the potential of the arts, the potential of the invitation to participation and expression of the collectives (workers, Residency students) called for the creation of practices. By placing beside and in the place of care, in at least two initial guidelines for the practices - the invention of a theatrical space for exchanges with the care team of the service in question and follow-up of the residents - the actor-researcher immersed himself in a research-intervention proposal in which mental health care practices has been shown limited when bumping into institutional logics. The axis of in-service training, with a multiprofessional orientation, and the glimpse of a "pedagogy of…

▼ While previous research has explored the relationship between combat exposure and
mental health disorders, the effects of
mental health disorders on attrition rates of
Service members, the discrepancy between
mental health counseling services available and utilized by
Service members, and barriers to seeking
mental health counseling services, the majority of studies thus far have only been conducted with
Service members and have been quantitative in nature. While researchers have begun to explore the experience of deployment on
Service member spouses, little research has focused specifically on their
service seeking behavior regarding accessing
mental health services. This is unfortunate given that multiple studies have indicated the importance of including
Service member's spouses in future research. This qualitative study included both
Service members and spouses of
Service member's in an attempt to capture their
mental health counseling
service seeking behaviors. Thematic analysis was employed to develop a model of
mental health seeking behavior among
Service members and their spouses. The resulting model is unique in that it attempts to account for the influence of multiple contextual and ecological factors. Limitations of the study, future research and clinical implications are also discussed.

▼ This thesis follows the paper-based format and papers one and two have been prepared for submission to Attachment and Human Development and the British Journal of Clinical Psychology, respectively. The relevant submission guidelines are included in the appendices (Appendix A and B).Attachment theory (Bowlby, 1977a) has prompted a wealth of empirical research in its contribution to adult attachment patterns and subsequent psychopathology in mental health (Holmes, 2001; Wallin, 2007). More recently, attachment theory has been proposed as a suitable framework by which to inform the organisation, design and delivery of mental health services (Goodwin, 2003; Seager et al., 2007) but it is unclear what this would look like in practice. Adopting an attachment-informed service model has key implications for individual and service outcomes and the two papers presented in this thesis aim to contribute to research in this area, followed by a critical review of the research, its relevance and future implications. Paper one is a narrative overview of the literature discussing the practice implications of services adopting an attachment-informed framework, and describes how this might be conceptualised in front-line service delivery. Articles reviewed described the influence of attachment theory in predominantly inpatient, secure forensic and/or psychiatric rehabilitation services, and its application within more generic community mental health services was explored. Paper two aimed to investigate the importance of individual attachment and service attachment to client psychopathology, quality of life, service utilisation and service costs in community-based mental health services. The final section, the Critical Review, critiqued the literature review and aimed to place the research within a wider context. This section considers the findings from the research and the limitations of the study, while also highlighting important issues for services, with implications for clinical practice and future research.

▼ Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
The unnecessary medical care causes a heavy financial burden for the patients themselves and the society, and they also negatively impact the quality of medical care. An estimated 13% to 27% of ED visits in the United States could be managed in physician offices, clinics, and urgent care centers, saving 4.4 billion annually, and 26 percent of hospitalizations were potentially avoidable at a cost of 5.6 billion in 2005. If we can help people become more aware of health care services, it could be a potentially effective way to reduce emergency service overuse.
we focused on mental health service and social work service as intervention variable, preventable ED visit, preventable ED visit due to mental health problem and hospitalization due to mental health problem as outcomes to determine the impact of specific social service on utilization of specific health care service adjusting for other characteristics of patients (demographic and utilization history information).
The data which involved 24074 patients was provided from and managed by the Regenstrief Institute. The date of having the specific service and the frequency of using the specific health care service per year from 2011 to 2014 for each patient was recorded as well as the baseline information including gender, age, race, primary care visit per year before 2011, ACG risk score at 2011, ED visit per year before 2011. For each of preventable ED visit, preventable ED visit due to mental health problem and hospitalization due to mental health problem, we fitted a multiple linear regression model to ascertain the effects of mental health service and social work service adjusted for the baseline information.
There was a significant relationship between preventable ED visit & mental health service, hospitalization due to mental health problems & mental health service, as well as hospitalization due to mental health problems & social work service. We found that in most situation, social services were positively associated with health care service. But in the second model which described the impact of mental health service on utilization of hospitalization due to mental health problem, receiving one mental health service can reduce the utilization of hospitalization due to mental health problem, which is as our expectation.
According to our study, appropriate amount of services appears helpful on reducing the overuse of ED and hospitalization due to mental health problem. However, people who overused ED or hospitalization in the past were also more likely to be frequent service users, and they tended to continue overuse ED or Incur more hospitalization. There is a group of people who overuse ED or hospitalization without having any service. ED or hospitalization may be their first choice because of their financial condition or other factors, which makes them have no interest to take services.
