项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Although individuals from racial/ethnic and linguistic minority groups make up a considerable—and growing— proportion of the US population, they experience greater unmet need for mental health care than non-Latino Whites. Members of these groups are heavily represented in Medicaid, the largest insurer covering the most vulnerable individuals. And although the Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid eligibility, research to date has not found that expansions have decreased the gap in mental health treatment between Whites and racial/ethnic minorities. Experts have identified a lack of culturally competent, bilingual/bicultural mental health providers as a factor contributing to the maintenance of these disparities. Similar challenges have been addressed in lower-income countries facing severe workforce constraints through the training of community health workers (CHWs), who originate from the communities they serve and have shown promise internationally as mental health service providers. However, they have not yet typically served in this role in US care delivery systems. State Medicaid-based accountable care organizations (ACOs) are forming in large numbers to provide care coordination via team-based approaches, with accumulating evidence suggesting that this strategy can greatly benefit resource-poor populations. However, many ACOs have not yet incorporated mental health services into their networks, despite the observed link between addressing mental health needs and improving physical health. Building staff capacity to provide these needed services would help ACOs implement evidence-based mental health interventions and improve the overall well-being of their assigned patients. Thus, our proposed collaborative R01 will develop ACO-academic-community partnerships in two demographically different states at different stages of ACO development and test a model that trains CHWs to serve as mental health providers within clinics/physician's organization and community-based organizations linked to ACOs in North Carolina and Massachusetts. This effort should expand ACO infrastructures and increase access to and quality of mental health care for low-income racial/ethnic and linguistic minorities in resource-poor communities. If successful, we will work with our ACO site partners to assess implementation outcomes of adoption, fidelity, maintenance, and explore implementation processes (facilitators and contextual factors) as potential mediators of implementation within diverse clinics, CBOs, and ACO networks.

项目概要尽管来自种族/族裔和语言少数群体的个人构成了相当大的——而且还在不断增长—— 占美国人口的比例，与非拉丁裔相比，他们对精神卫生保健的未满足需求更大这些群体的成员在医疗补助计划中占有很大比例，这是最大的保险公司，覆盖范围最广。尽管《平价医疗法案》扩大了医疗补助资格，但迄今为止的研究。尚未发现扩张减少了白人和白人之间心理健康治疗的差距专家们发现，少数族裔缺乏文化能力、双语/双文化心理健康。供应商作为造成这些差异的一个因素，也存在类似的挑战。通过社区培训解决面临严重劳动力限制的低收入国家卫生工作者 (CHW)，来自他们所服务的社区并表现出希望然而，他们在美国尚未扮演这一角色。基于州医疗补助的责任护理组织 (ACO) 正在大规模形成。通过基于团队的方法提供护理协调的数字，越来越多的证据表明这一战略可以极大地惠及资源匮乏的人群。然而，许多 ACO 尚未纳入其中。尽管观察到满足心理健康需求之间存在联系，但将心理健康服务纳入其网络提高员工提供这些所需服务的能力将有助于 ACO。实施循证心理健康干预措施并改善其指定人员的整体福祉因此，我们提议的合作 R01 将在两个领域建立 ACO-学术-社区伙伴关系。 ACO 发展的不同阶段的人口统计不同的州，并测试训练 CHW 的模型在诊所/医生组织和社区组织内担任心理健康提供者与北卡罗来纳州和马萨诸塞州的 ACO 相关联，这项工作应该扩大 ACO 基础设施和增加低收入种族/族裔和语言少数群体获得精神卫生保健的机会和质量如果成功，我们将与 ACO 站点合作伙伴合作评估实施情况。采用、忠诚度、维护的结果，并探索实施过程（促进者和情境）因素）作为不同诊所、CBO 和 ACO 网络中实施的潜在中介。
