“…Any implementation in a behavioral health care system requires a delicate dance of collaboration, coordination, and negotiation among all stakeholders, particularly given rapidly contracting state behavioral health budgets (22,23). Collaborative stakeholder approaches to identifying fair and transparent incentives would be particularly beneficial to this end (24). Future research that includes qualitative study might allow for a more detailed assessment of and insight into these challenges while identifying specific barriers that may be common across settings.…”

Payers are not using the incentives they perceive as most effective, and they are mostly using only one strategy for reasons of simplicity and compatibility. Future work should focus on barriers to measurement that likely hinder the adoption and implementation of paying for better outcomes and enhanced reimbursement rates, with the ultimate goal of measuring the effectiveness of incentives on EBP implementation efforts.

“…Sustainable community mental health services require scalability to the extent possible to address these community concerns comprehensively, which if left unattended could aggravate, if not cause, mental health problems. Mental health wellbeing resourcing scalability would involve timely collaborative adoption of proven community wellness practices, human social capital partnerships, and financing policies for sustainability (Meredith, Branstrom, Azocar, Fikes, & Ettner, 2011;Milat et al, 2013). By using a collaborative approach, community members and their health providers can easily scale up the resources with evidence to enhance community mental health wellbeing in sustainable ways (see also Gehart, 2012).…”

If we want to achieve the goal of sustainable community health, it is imperative to address the broad and multi-level context in which these communities are situated. Understanding and integrating the context (or many contexts) of a community is a challenging task, and this timely volume tackles this issue headon. Drawing on many disciplines and perspectives, this text both integrates strong theoretical perspectives and relies on evidence and pragmatic implementational realities. In doing so, it provides a thoughtful and practical guide for how to build and sustain communities that are active agents in their own health and well-being. I recommend this to anyone seeking to better understand and/ or implement community health programs." -

This report describes work undertaken by the RAND Corporation for the California Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation (CHSWC) in the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). The goal of this study is to evaluate mental health conditions or illnesses among California's firefighters and peace officers to inform the policy debate surrounding the rebuttable presumption that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among first responders is work-related and thus eligible for full workers' compensation benefits. The main tasks of the mixed-methods evaluation are to (1) produce prevalence estimates and conduct claims analysis and cost estimations and (2) document the experiences of firefighters and peace officers seeking mental health care in the workers' compensation system and capture the perspectives of mental health providers, claims administrators, and department leaders in urban and rural departments across Northern and Southern California. This research builds directly on a number of past RAND studies for DIR and CHSWC, including several recent studies on workers' compensation issues primarily affecting firefighters, peace officers, and other public safety workers. Although this study focused on California, our findings may be of interest to state policymakers throughout the country who are considering adoption of, or modifications to, laws establishing similar mental health presumptions for public safety workers. RAND Community Health and Environmental Policy ProgramRAND Social and Economic Well-Being is a division of the RAND Corporation that seeks to actively improve the health and the social and economic well-being of populations and communities throughout the world. This research was conducted in the Community Health and Environmental Policy Program within RAND Social and Economic Well-Being. The program focuses on such topics as infrastructure, science and technology, community design, community health promotion, migration and population dynamics, transportation, energy, and climate and the environment, as well as other policy concerns that are influenced by the natural and built environment, technology, and community organizations and institutions that affect well-being.
