“…Most P/Ts had one MHA policy document. 16 -22 Newfoundland and Labrador, 23,24 Ontario, 25 -27 Alberta, 28,29 British Columbia, 30,31 and Yukon 32,33 had two or more MHA policy documents (including related action plans or update documents or documents specific to a subpopulation). There was no MHA policy document for Nunavut so the territory’s broader government priorities document was used in the analysis instead at the request of the Nunavut PTAG representative.…”

To inform the future development of a pan-Canadian Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) performance measurement framework, we undertook a review and comparison of current provincial/territorial MHA policies and performance measurement frameworks. Most did not have performance measurement approaches that were explicitly linked to policy actions but eleven acknowledged the importance of performance measurement. Among the provinces with a framework, there were few performance domains in common. The common policy priorities and areas of convergence in current performance measurement practices may provide a useful starting point for the development of a pan-Canadian MHA performance measurement framework.

“…20 Five pan-Canadian or provincial/territorial initiatives that involved and reported on systematic processes for MHA service or PM frameworks were found, which could also inform pan-Canadian framework development. 21 –26 Each of these initiatives used a multi-stage, collaborative process grounded in theory, included multiple stages of incorporation of feedback, and often involved modified Delphi processes. Table 2 summarizes features of these exemplar processes.…”

To inform the development of a pan-Canadian Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) performance measurement framework, we undertook a rapid review of the recent Performance Measurement (PM) literature and solicited input from 20 MHA policy and measurement experts. Six key steps for framework development were identified: recognizing and acknowledging key issues, developing shared language and understanding of key concepts, defining overall scope, defining framework dimension/domains, selecting indicators and using systematic engagement and consultation processes with stakeholders. Subject matter experts underscored the need for a comprehensive engagement process which would honour multiple stakeholder viewpoints and attend to key issues in the codesign of features of the PM framework. Findings from this analysis may be used to inform a comprehensive stakeholder consultation process for the development of a pan-Canadian PM framework for MHA.

National frameworks are often put forward as a tool for local policy development, but little is known about their effectiveness. In this case study, the usefulness of Canada's Evergreen National Child and Youth Mental Health Framework (Evergreen) is examined in the development of a Yukon Child and Youth Mental Health and Addictions Framework (CYMHAF). Evergreen content and processes and the reflections of key informants and the research team are analyzed. The findings suggest that national frameworks can play important roles at the program and strategic levels, saving time and money in developing local frameworks, strengthening rigour, and helping to build consensus among local policy-makers.
