Most mental health care disparities literature focuses on access to care at the point of initial engagement to treatment, resulting in a dearth of viable solutions being explored to retain clients in care once they begin. Measurement-based care (MBC) is a person-centered practice that has been shown to improve the therapeutic relationship, make treatment more personalized, and empower the client to have an active role in their care. Problems with therapeutic alliance and treatment relevance are associated with early termination for communities of color in mental health services. However, MBC has not been explored as a clinical practice to address therapeutic alliance and continual engagement for people of color seeking mental health care. This Point of View describes several MBC features that may be able to impact current sources of disparity in mental health treatment quality and provides a rationale for each. Our hope is that the field of MBC and progress feedback will more explicitly consider the potential of MBC practices to promote equity and parity in mental health services of color and will start to explore these associations empirically. We also discuss whether MBC should be culturally adapted to optimize its relevance and effectiveness for communities of color and other groups experiencing marginalization. We propose that MBC has promise to promote equitable mental health service quality and outcomes for communities of color.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7195,"journal":{"name":"Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"172 - 178"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140136368","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}

It aims to empower psychotherapists and patients to evaluate their own treatment (<i>idiographic perspective</i>) and to enable researchers to analyze open questions of personalized psychotherapy (<i>nomothetic perspective)</i>. Organized around the principles of agile research, we plan to develop, implement, and evaluate the SCED infrastructure in six successive studies with continuous stakeholder involvement: In the project development phase, the business model for the SCED infrastructure is developed that describes its vision in consideration of the context (Study 1). Also, the infrastructure's prototype is specified, encompassing the SCED procedure, ESM protocol, and ESM survey (Study 2 and 3). During the optimization phase, feasibility and acceptability are tested and the infrastructure is adapted accordingly (Study 4). The evaluation phase includes a pilot implementation study to assess implementation outcomes (Study 5), followed by actual implementation using a within-institution A-B design (Study 6). The sustainability phase involves continuous monitoring and improvement.

However, EI systems are complex and limited research has examined how an EI system’s infrastructure (i.e. system-level factors) impacts the adoption and implementation of EBPs. To address this gap, 36 EI providers and 9 EI administrators completed a semi-structured interview or focus group about factors impacting the implementation of autism EBPs. Qualitative analysis included a combination of grounded theory and causative coding. Analyses were refined by input from providers, administrators, and family stakeholders in the form of round tables and presentations at the state’s interagency coordinating council. Primary themes centered on: (1) the costs associated with independent contracting structures; (2) operational demands; (3) workforce stability; (4) communication consistency; and (5) implementation supports for EBP implementation. Causative coding helped to demonstrate the perceived relationships between these factors and underscored the important role of incentivization structures, collaboration opportunities, and championing in supporting the use of EBPs within a system that primarily uses independent contracting structures. The current study extends previous research by demonstrating how several system-level factors are perceived to play a role in the adoption and implementation of EBPs by independently contracted EI providers.

This study aims to identify and synthesize relevant state-level policies and related research on first responder mental health in the United States. Using a scoping review framework, authors searched the empirical and policy literature. State level policies were identified and grouped into two categories: (1) Workers’ Compensation-related policies and (2) non-Workers’ Compensation (WC) related policies. While benefits levels and other specifics vary greatly by state, 28 states cover certain first responder mental health claims under WC statutes. In addition, at the time of this study, 28 states have policies governing first responder mental health outside of WC. Policies include requiring mental health assessments, provisions for counseling and critical incident management, requiring education and training, providing funding to localities for program development, bolstering peer support initiatives and confidentiality measures, and establishing statewide offices of responder wellness, among others. Authors found a dearth of outcomes research on the impact of state level policies on first responder mental health. Consequently, more research is needed to learn about the direct impact of legislation and establish best practice guidelines for implementing state policy on first responder mental health. By conducting systematic evaluations, researchers can lay the foundation for an evidence-based approach to develop more integrated systems that effectively deliver and finance mental health care for first responders who experience work-related trauma.

While existing studies have predominantly focused on Europe and North America, research in Latin America remains limited. The aim of this study is to explore therapists’ expected benefits and difficulties prior to implementing a routine outcome monitoring system in a university psychotherapy service in Ecuador. An exploratory and descriptive cross-sectional qualitative study was carried out with 20 participants aged 21 to 47. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore participants’ knowledge about routine outcome monitoring, their expectations of the difficulties, benefits, usability and risks of using a monitoring system, as well as their expectations about their role in the process. The data analysis adhered to the framework analysis methodology, leading to the identification of six overarching themes, 36 specific themes and 82 subthemes. The interviews highlighted a spectrum of positive and negative expectations at several levels: institutional/general, therapeutic process, therapists, and clients. Perceived benefits encompassed various aspects, including the availability of supplementary information, continuous adaptation of the therapeutic process, facilitation of organization and treatment planning, opportunities for professional development, and fostering patient trust and empowerment. On the other hand, anticipated difficulties comprised concerns such as discomfort among therapists and clients, increased workload, system usage and technical difficulties, and the risk of excessive quantification. Overall, participants expressed more anticipated benefits than difficulties. We present recommendations that can support and optimize the current local implementation efforts of routine outcome monitoring, both within this service and in other settings.
