  1. CALIFORNIA REDUCING DISPARITIES PROJECT UPDATE CDPH Office of Health Equity September 30, 2014 Aimee Sisson, MD, MPH

  2. OVERVIEW CRDP Strategic Plan status Proposed Phase 2 program design Solicitation approach and opportunities for stakeholder involvement Next steps

  3. CRDP PHASES • Phase 1: Develop strategic plan to reduce mental health disparities in 5 populations (African American, Asian Pacific Islander, Native American, Latino, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning) • Fund 5 Strategic Planning Workgroups to engage communities • Identify promising programs and practices • Identify strategies to reduce disparities • Prepare population report • Fund development of Strategic Plan • Goals and strategies to reduce disparities • Recommendations for use of Phase 2 funds • Phase 2: Implement strategic plan • Focus on validating promising practices / community-defined evidence* programs) *Set of practices that communities have used and determined to yield positive results as determined by community consensus over time, that may or may not have been measured empirically but have reached a level of acceptance by the community (Community Defined Evidence Project Working Group, 2007)

  4. CRDP Strategic plan • Draft Plan awaiting Agency approval • Once approved  • 30 day public comment period • Community forums for feedback • Revision (1 ½ months) • Finalization (1 month)

  5. PHASE 2 BASIS • CRDP Draft Strategic Plan • Key Informant Interviews • Internal • External • CRDP Brain Trust • Public Vetting

  6. Phase 2 Vision We envision a California in which all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity, receive quality mental health prevention and treatment services delivered in a culturally and linguistically competent manner. • Vision will not be achieved overnight, nor at end of CRDP Phase 2 • However, we do envision the following near-term (5-10y) outcomes: • Numerous community-defined evidence programs funded in Phase 2 are demonstrated through rigorous, community participatory evaluation process to be effective in preventing or reducing severity of mental illness • Community-defined evidence programs validated in Phase 2 are funded by county mental health departments throughout California using county MHSA funds and/or reimbursable through MediCal • Relationship between underserved communities and county mental health departments is healing • Underserved communities advocate for individual and collective needs locally and statewide through advisory bodies and councils

  7. Guiding Principles • Do business differently. Involves attentive listening and genuine consideration of community input in order to be responsive to community needs. • Build community capacity. Communities should taught to fish, not simply given a fish. Need to invest in creating community structures and supporting community-based organizations in order to sustain efforts to reduce mental health disparities beyond the 4 years of CRDP Phase 2 funding. • Fairness. A program designed to reduce disparities must be certain to not perpetuate disparities. Contracts should be awarded based on merit, and only after all interested parties have been invited to apply, and if needed, provided with tools and services to support their application. • System change. If the effort to reduce disparities begun with CRDP Phases 1 and 2 is to be sustained beyond the next 4 years, Phase 2 needs to address the context and bigger picture within which CRDP exists.

  8. Program Components • Pilot Projects (approx. 60% of funds) • Evaluation (25%) • Technical Assistance & Training (10%) • Infrastructure (5%) • Administration

  10. County Mental Health Latino Pilot 1 County Mental Health Latino Pilot 6 Latino Pilot 2 Latino TA Provider Latino Evaluator Latino Pilot 5 Latino Pilot 3 Latino Pilot 4 County Mental Health County Mental Health County Mental Health Population Approach County Mental Health One network (pod) for each of 5 populations Pilot sites (5-7/pop’n) geographically spread across California

  11. Pilot Projects • Validate promising practices /community-defined evidence programs (closer to evidence-based practice) • 2 pilot types • Capacity Building • 3 per population (15 total) • Fund for approx 6 months • Average award $25,000 • Continue to implementation if successful • Implementation • 5-7 per population (35 total) • Fund for 4 years • Average award $200,000 per year • Eligibility: Non-profit or government entity with experience working directly with target population

  12. PILOT PROJECTS IMPLEMENTATION # of pilots 35 15 time 3y 1y 2y 4y CAPACITY BUILDING

  13. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Implementation Capacity Building Provider • Population-Specific TA Provider • One for each • population • Culturally sensitive Support smaller organizations to “apply” for implementation funding • Support in contract & program management, budgeting, HR, sustainability planning • Broker with CDPH, county mental health Administrative • Population-Specific Evaluator • Culturally sensitive • Part of Statewide • Evaluation team Support smaller organizations to articulate theory of change / logic model, begin evaluation planning Support in evaluation planning and design, evaluation implementation, seeking evidence-based status Evaluation

  14. Evaluation • Multilevel Approach • Pilot site • Each pilot site, preferably by independent contractor • Population • Common measures/methods across all pilot sites targeting same population • Statewide • Common measures across all pilot sites • Evaluate all Phase 2 components • Community participatory • Mixed methods

  15. Infrastructure • Address policy and system change • Implement “other 23 recommendations” • Create CRDP Advisory Committee • Advise CDPH staff on mental health disparities and project direction • Education, outreach, and awareness • Multicultural, with additional population involvement beyond 5 targets • Increase involvement by community members in policy, planning, and programming • Statewide (1) • Local (5)

  16. Administration • ~60 contracts/grant agreements to be developed • Staff to oversee contracts • Staff for evaluation design, implementation, and oversight • Funded by annual MHSA state administrative dollars (not part of $60M)

  17. California Reducing Disparities Project, Phase 2 Inputs Outcomes Activities Outputs Evaluation Validation of Promising Programs and Practices Validated Community Defined Evidence Programs and Practices (CDEPs) Increased Funding for Validated CDEPs MHSA Funding Pilot Sites Build Organizational Capacity, Implement and Evaluate Promising Programs and Practices Technical Assistance Implementation of Strategic Plan Strategies Population-Specific TA Provider Provide Technical Assistance, Administrative Support, Broker Relationships Increases in Culturally and Linguistically Competent Mental Health Services Reduced Mental Health Disparities Improved Relationships Between Community and Government Administrative Staff and Support Collaboration Between Community and Government CRDP Strategic Plan Statewide and Local Education, Outreach, & Awareness Provide Community Representation Policy and System Change Increased Community Capacity Advocacy RFP Incentives External Factors State Agencies County Mental Health Departments Local Decision-Makers State Legislature

  18. SOLICITATION APPROACH • Operationalize program design • Multiple solicitations, rolled out in stages • Stage 1 • Statewide evaluation team (1) • Population-specific technical assistance provider (5) • Stage 2 • Capacity building pilot sites (15) • Stage 3 • Implementation pilot sites (15 + 20 = 35) • Stage 4 • Statewide education, outreach, and awareness (1) • Local education, outreach, and awareness (5)

  19. PUBLIC INPUT • In keeping with guiding principle, “Do business differently” • Information gathering • Subject matter expert interviews • Brain Trust • Community forums: facilitated sessions to gather information in a structured manner • Online survey of potential pilot sites • Draft solicitation review • Especially for pilot solicitations, others as time permits • Opportunity to comment on solicitation and requirements prior to formal release of bid • Requirements protest • Allow bidders an opportunity to provide feedback during the procurement process

  20. NEXT STEPS • Pilot project survey re: capacity and needs • Community forums for input on program and solicitation design • Solicit public input on draft solicitations • Statewide evaluation team first
