This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) totaling $1,647,117 supports the development, testing, and validation of a new, transdiagnostic outcome-focused mental health quality measure. The measure will be based on routine patient-reported symptom data and can be used to assess and improve the quality of mental health services across community settings and populations. The study will leverage an existing database of over 5 million symptom assessments from 500,000 patients treated by 5,000 providers at 200 real-world practices. Analyses will use psychometric methods and statistical modeling to inform risk adjustment and benchmarking for the quality measure. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is the prime grantee for this 4-year research project, which aims to develop a quality measure suitable for endorsement by regulatory and governing bodies to enhance the effectiveness and equity of routine mental health care.
