UCLA, Michael Hurlburt, P.I.)
The CCI is a collaborative project that seeks to understand
how well California's public mental health agencies are caring
for children and adolescents with key clinical problems, such
as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Major
Depression, and Conduct Disorder. These problems were chosen
because they are common and have established effective treatments.
By linking county- and clinic-level organizational and financing
information with abstracted medical record data on quality
of care indicators, the project will develop recommendations
for enhancing the quality of care provided by public mental
health programs for California's children and adolescents.
The CCI represents a collaboration between the California
Department of Mental Health and the California Health Services
Research Consortium, a group representing four university-based
health services research centers sponsored by the National
Institute of Mental Health. These programs are the Child and
Adolescent Services Research Center at Children's Hospital
in San Diego, the Center for Mental Health Services Research
at the University of California at Berkeley and San Francisco,
the National Research Center on Asian-American Mental Health
at the University of California at Davis, and the Center for
Research on Managed Care at the University of California at
Los Angeles.
