Interviews were conducted between 2021 and 2022 with 25 people released from incarceration within the past five years. We partnered with community organizations to recruit a diverse sample of participants, using voluntary response and purposive sampling. The interview transcripts were coded using a modified grounded theory approach and the analysis further guided by critical phenomenology in order to center silenced or marginalized perspectives. Mistrust of mental health care was a prominent theme across interviews. Overall, participants felt that they did not have autonomy over their treatment planning and management. Participants described experiencing stigmatizing treatment from providers, suspicion of mandated mental health treatment, and believing that profit over patients was prioritized in the industry–all of which contributed to growing mistrust of the larger mental health system. The participants’ experiences of losing control over their lives and treatment, compounded by a perceived complicity between mental health and carceral systems, shaped their mistrust toward mental health care. Nevertheless, many demonstrated remarkable persistence in seeking care and engaging with multiple providers, while also actively seeking to reclaim their autonomy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7195,"journal":{"name":"Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research","volume":"52 3","pages":"561 - 569"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143961146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, CSC teams are resource-intensive, motivating the development of a hybrid delivery approach where community mental health centers (CMHCs) collaborate with an academic medical center to deliver a mix of in-person and virtual services. To inform the development of this hybrid approach, a needs assessment was conducted, evaluating the existing capacity of Ohio CMHCs to treat FEP and identifying barriers to expanded use of telemental health. CMHC administrators throughout Ohio whose agencies primarily provide mental health services were surveyed using a novel instrument. A concurrent mixed methods approach combined multivariable analysis of cross-sectional survey data with thematic coding of responses to open-ended questions. The 56 responding CMHCs on average offered 10.96 of 17 services associated with CSC for FEP. Agency size was positively associated with number of service offerings, but rurality was not. Most agencies perceived gaps in their care for patients with FEP, particularly rural CMHCs. 75% believed that telemental health service expansion would benefit patients. Thematic analysis revealed three success factors for expanded telemental health usage: adapting care to virtual assessment, ensuring patient access, and adjusting workflows for virtual delivery. Responding CMHCs generally agreed that care for individuals with FEP could be improved and saw potential in expanded use of virtual services. Hybrid models may represent a valuable opportunity to overcome conventional barriers to CSC availability, but their development must account for current CMHC resource infrastructure and workflows.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7195,"journal":{"name":"Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research","volume":"52 3","pages":"584 - 593"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12134010/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A proposed solution is to have primary care providers respond to patients’ behavioral health challenges directly. The current study describes the adaptation and evaluation process of Precision Behavioral Health (PBH), a digital-first behavioral health care model with provider-referral to an ecosystem of digital interventions. User-centered design strategies used to adapt the PBH program included applying process to system-level behaviors, defining target users and their needs, defining workflows, rapid prototyping cycles, and a complimentary mixed-methods iterative development phase with a pilot trial. Twenty-one primary care providers, 164 medical assistants and check out staff, and 45 nursing staff were trained as part of the pilot. The RE-AIM implementation framework was used for evaluation. Fourteen primary care providers participated in a semi-structured interview to provide feedback on their experience. The adapted PBH program reached 39.54% of primary care patients seen by the pilot providers during the timeframe. Providers offered PBH to 76.63% of the patients reached, and 26.10% accepted the PBH referral. Out of the accepted patients, 78.15% registered, 73.95% activated their digital intervention, and 59.09% showed clinical improvement in outcomes. Nineteen (90.48%) pilot providers adopted PBH and referred a median of 2 patients each week. Medical assistants/check out staff scheduled 5% of digital care navigator appointments and 84.03% of provider follow up appointments. Primary care providers used the program’s clinical decision support tool to aid their discussion and referral process with 95.33% of patients that accepted PBH and selected one of the top 3 recommended tools 95% of the time. Qualitative results identified six broad content categories: Overall PBH referral experience, PBH training, PBH eligibility flag, PBH follow-up appointment workflow, impacts of PBH program on providers, and future modifications.

Primary care providers identified several adaptations, such as expanding PBH to other types of visits (e.g., sick visits), and optimizing workflow for check-out staff when booking follow-up appointments. Primary care providers are willing and able to successfully refer patients to behavioral health digital interventions with minimal training time for onboarding. Patients referred through primary care demonstrate high acceptance rates, and comparable rates of improvement to those that are referred by licensed behavioral health providers.
