The Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board (HCMHRSB) maintains a strong commitment to regularly and consistently measure the impact of services provided through its network of contract agencies.  In September of 2001, agencies under contract with the HCMHRSB began collecting data as part of the Ohio Consumer Outcomes initiative and continue to do so today.

Adult recipients of mental health services complete the 48-item Ohio Consumer Outcomes survey, parents/guardians of children and youth between the ages of 5 and 17 complete the 48-item parent version of the Ohio Youth Scales, and individuals receiving addiction services complete the 17-item Brief Addiction Monitor.  Survey administrations are generally conducted at the time of service inception, 6 months following service inception, 12 months following service inception, and every 12 months thereafter or at the time of service discharge.

Each quarter the HCMHRSB compiles data representing administrations completed during the previous 24-month period.  Use of a 24-month period ensures the capture of two administrations for each individual, including those having been in service for an extended period whom, as a result, are on an annual administration cycle.
