The C3MH was administered to 364 parents recruited from 13 children's mental health agencies in Ontario, Canada. The measure includes five scales supported by confirmatory factor analysis. Scale validity was supported through analyses of relationships with established measures of satisfaction, problem severity, and therapeutic alliance, as well as t… Show more

“…We found 17 instruments that measure continuity of transitional care across the care continuum. Most tools (n = 14) were developed for community/primary care settings [2829303132333435363738394041], one was developed in acute care [42], and two in both, primary and acute care [4344]. The Care Transitions Measure (CTM, [43]) has a number of modifications [4546].…”

“…A review of the instruments measuring continuity of care showed that most available instruments on continuity of care from patients' perspective are designed to assess this construct in specific adult populations and settings, such as patients with diabetes, cancer, mental health problems, previously hospitalised patients, complex and chronic diseases, people being treated in primary care settings or patients in general regardless of morbidity or care setting [12]. To our knowledge, only one questionnaire has been developed to measure continuity of care in child population from the family's perspective, but it applies only to mental health care [13].…”

“…The my EXP app questionnaires asked about experiences during arrival into services, the relationship with the provider, information sharing, family involvement, the care plan, feelings upon exiting services, preparedness when moving to a new provider, as well as about the overall experience. These guides were informed by theory and best‐practices cited for coordination of care and transitions from youth to adulthood in mental health services and were the basis for our sensitizing concepts . In parallel to the app data, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with youth, caregivers and service providers to ask about experiences at intake to the study, 6 and 12 months.…”
