New project development
• I am a mental health nurse and I worked as a colleague of Dave Pilon, CEO of MHALA for over 20 years
• Three years ago I moved to SC CTSI as Research Navigator in Community Engagement
• Academic/Community Projects with MHALA:• Met with Dave to discuss potential projects• Connected him with researcher from USC School of Business
to do pilot work moving MHALA to evidence based practice status
• Invited MHALA to join PBRN group• Invited MHALA to collaborate on NIMH Outreach Partnership,
including our Special Project-Promotores Research Training Institute
PROJECTS WITH OUR NIMH OUTREACH PARTNER: MHALA
• Pilot testing of a “Health Navigator” project-- training persons with severe mental illness to improve their access and usage of primary medical care (instead of emergency rooms). Now have a PCORI grant to complete a larger RCT.
• Pilot testing mindfulness interventions for children in after school programs.
• Validation of a mental health screening tool for children entering foster care
• Pilot testing of a 12-week, psycho-educational curriculum designed to reduce substance use in Hispanic youth.
$1 MILLION ANNUALLY FOR SC-CTSI PILOT PROJECTS
OTHER GOALS
Present research findings to providers, partners, policy-makers, consumers and advocates
One way—monthly e-newsletter to 700+ and posted on LACDMH website
WHAT IS COMMUNITY-ENGAGED RESEARCH?
• A framework or approach for conducting research
• Requires partnership development between academic and community partners
• May be used with both qualitative (focus groups; interviews) and quantitative methods
• Recognizes and builds on community strengths, interests and perspectives
Traditional Research Process
Step 5: Interpret, write papers & Disseminate Results to Peers and Academic Community
Step 4: Analyze Data
Step 3: Intervention or Data Collection Data Collection Instruments Designed Researcher Recruits Community
Subjects
Step 2: Research Plan Developed Community Selected Funds Secured
Step 1: Problem Identified by Researcher
Community-Engaged Approach
Step 6: Disseminate Results to Community AND Academics
Step 5: Interpretation of Data with Community
Step 4: Analyze Data – Bring Results to Community
Step 3: Intervention or Data Collection All parties involved in design of data Collection instruments Community assists in participant recruitment
Step 2: Research Plan Developed Meetings with community members and researchers to determine best approach
Step 1: Problem Identified by StakeholderCould be community member or researcher
BARRIERS TO CONDUCTING COMMUNITY-ENGAGED RESEARCH
• Many researchers aren’t connected to CBOs
• Takes more time and money
• Need manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals for their career
• Researchers have to give up some control to community partners
• Poor communication and unrealistic expectations can lead to conflicts between academic and community partners
RATIONALE FOR COMMUNITY-ENGAGED RESEARCH
• Complex health and social problems ill-suited to “outside expert” research
• Increasing interest in health disparities
• Disappointing results with introducing “Evidence Based Practices” in the real world
• Increasing community demands for collaborative efforts
• Increasing funder interests in community-driven versus community-placed research
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE
Recovery Oriented Care Collaborative
A Practice Based Research Network (PBRN) focused on the integration of physical and
mental health of persons with severe mental illness
A PBRN is defined as a group of providers who come together to study topics/questions directly impacting their practice, engage researchers in answering those
questions, and use the results to improve service delivery.
RECOVERY ORIENTED CARE COLLABORATIVE• Funding: SC CTSI Pilot, July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013
• Project PIso John Brekke, PhD, USC School of Social Worko Rebecca Gaba, PhD, Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services o Co-Investigator: Lyndee Knox, Ph.D., Chief Executive
Officer, L.A. Net
• Mental Health Agency Partners (contract agencies with Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health) o Mental Health America Los Angeleso Didi Hirsch Community Mental Health Centero Exodus Recoveryo Pacific Clinics
ROCC PROCESS
• Formalize partner relationshipso MOUs with 4 based mental agency
organizationso Establish steering committee
• Assemble the research teamo SC CTSIo USC School of Social Worko Community partners
• Select research question using reflective practitioner process
• Conduct card study• Analyze results• Disseminate results
FOLLOW-UPROCC researchers analyzed findings and are in the process of presenting findings to the ROCC, community members and other researchers.
STEP 1: GENERATIONROCC members polled 20 mental health providers from four participating agencies at an all day forum. We identified 99 potential research questions that were then categorized into 23 domains by post doctoral Fellows.
STEP 2: SELECTIONAt a second all day forum, 10 topics were discussed and refined into researchable questions. Identified questions were evaluated based on criteria*. A score was given for each criterion. These scores were tallied up for a composite score for each question. The four highest-scoring questions advanced to the next step.
Criteria*1) Will it change my practice?2) Will it change my colleagues’ practices? 3) Is it feasible? 4) Is it publishable? 5) Is it fundable? 6) Is there a provider champion? * Knox & Lomonaco, 2005
STEP 3: EVALUATION Following the forum, the Fellows added literature reviews for the four highest scoring topics and created sample card studies for
each research question.
STEP 4: VOTEROCC members voted electronically for their preferred research question for the card study.
STEP 5: STUDYThe selected card study was refined and piloted by the research team. Following Institutional Review Board approval data collection occurred over several weeks at ROCC member sites. place at member sites.
Card Study* *Westfall et al., 2011A card study is a simple, immediate, and cost-effective method for gathering observational data by clinicians at the point of care. Requiring less than a minute to complete, the survey consists of patient demographic information, a qualifying question and, for those who qualify, follow-up questions. Patient identifiers are not collected. PBRNs use card studies because they make it easy to gather data across sites.

REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONER PROCESS
CARD STUDY QUESTION AND FINDINGS
Research Question: “What is the impact of integrated healthcare services on emergency room and primary care usage; physical health; mental health; lifestyle; and ability to meet mental health treatment plan goals and overall satisfaction with services?”
Sample: 237 participants with serious mental illness from 4 clinics• Didi Hirsch (n = 52) • Exodus Recovery (n = 99)• Mental Health America (n = 48)• Pacific Clinics (n= 38)
The majority of the sample had been receiving services for at least 6 months (79%)
