However, when providing integrated youth care, SDM can be challenged by the complexity of families’ problems and the multiple family members and professionals involved. Commonly used SDM models may not adequately address these specific challenges. Therefore, this qualitative study explores families’ and professionals’ perspectives on essential elements of SDM with families experiencing multiple and enduring problems on different life domains (e.g., mental health, parenting, financial, and social problems). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 parents, 3 youth, and 22 professionals from Specialist Integrated care Teams in four regions of the Netherlands. A framework method - comprising essential elements of SDM - was applied to systematically code the transcripts both deductively and inductively. Our study shows the nine essential elements of SDM require a specific interpretation in the context of integrated youth care, regarding the diversity of participants in decision-making, the complexity of the problems, and SDM as a continuous process of multiple decisions. In addition, families and professionals mentioned three complementary elements: (1) build collaborative relationships, (2) prioritize problems, goals and actions, and (3) interprofessional consultation. Thus, in integrated youth care professionals are recommended to consider SDM as a cyclical process of larger and smaller decisions and take time to build collaborative relationships with families and the care network. Throughout the care process families and professionals balance their mutual roles in decision-making in line with the changing needs and preferences of families.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7195,"journal":{"name":"Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research","volume":"52 4","pages":"640 - 652"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12310899/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143952198","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}

Using a discrete choice experiment, an online survey was conducted with 4,057 participants from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Mixed logit analysis identified service providers as a key determinant of mental health service utilization across cities. While both potential patients and family members favored lower-cost public services, notable variations emerged in preferences for psychological counseling/therapy across cities and between patient and family contexts. Latent class analysis further revealed four distinct preference groups among potential patients. Psychological distress levels and hukou type were significantly associated with preferences.

This study uses the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to frame challenges reported by peers when implementing DMHIs. Individuals leading the local peer workforce completed quarterly online surveys about perceived challenges to DMHI implementation. Biannual interviews probed for details on survey-reported challenges. 103 quarterly surveys and 39 bi-annual interviews were collected from key informants at 11 Help@Hand sites between Summer 2020 and Fall 2022. One challenge was tied directly to DMHIs; namely, device distribution. Several related to the Implementation Process, including challenges with recruiting qualified peers and integrating peers into DMHI implementations; communication and collaboration; and translation. Challenges in the Individual domain included unclear peer roles and multi-tasking across various projects. Inner Setting challenges included structural barriers to hiring peers, issues with communication and project management, and workforce turnover. Outer Setting challenges related to environmental technology readiness, COVID-19, unclear decision-making processes across the collaborative, and uneven communication between sites’ peers. Funding uncertainty bridged the Inner and Outer Settings. Using the CFIR model to frame challenges to DMHI implementation yielded useful lessons, especially when peers are engaged as partners in planning and implementation process. Successful implementation will be enhanced by ensuring adequate environmental readiness for tech-based interventions, clear role definition, streamlined peer hiring processes, and well-delineated lines of communication locally and across sites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7195,"journal":{"name":"Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research","volume":"52 4","pages":"603 - 618"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12310863/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143958585","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}

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}

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}
