DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Ten years ago, Massachusetts became the first state to initiate a statewide "carve out" of its behavioral health program for Medicaid enrollees, the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Program. NIAAA-supported research at Brandeis University (AA-10880, PI: Donald S Shepard) and the New England Research Institutes (FIRST award, PI: Mary Jo Larson) have shown that the program clearly reduced costs of substance abuse treatment, while maintaining favorable results on two key indicators or quality (access and continuity), while another indicator (rapid readmissions) deteriorated. This review will determine how impacts on alcohol services compare to those for mental health services (managed through the same program and investigated by other researchers) and reasons for the successes or failures. These questions are particularly critical for state policy makers, where fiscal pressures in Massachusetts and other states may force unplanned service cuts. To address these objectives, this review will conduct a scientific conference, a policy conference, and produce a proceedings report and an edited journal edition.

描述（由申请人提供）：十年前，马萨诸塞州成为第一个在全州范围内“开拓”医疗补助参与者行为健康计划的州，即马萨诸塞州行为健康计划。 NIAAA 支持的布兰代斯大学（AA-10880，PI：Donald S Shepard）和新英格兰研究所（一等奖，PI：Mary Jo Larson）的研究表明，该计划明显降低了药物滥用治疗的成本，同时保持了良好的效果两个关键指标或质量（准入和连续性）的结果，而另一个指标（快速再入院）则恶化。该审查将确定对酒精服务的影响与心理健康服务的影响（通过同一计划管理并由其他研究人员调查）相比如何，以及成功或失败的原因。这些问题对于州政策制定者来说尤其重要，马萨诸塞州和其他州的财政压力可能会迫使他们计划外削减服务。为了实现这些目标，本次审查将举办一次科学会议、一次政策会议，并产生会议报告和编辑期刊版本。
