  9. Data and Evaluation Program: What Do We Do? The Data and Evaluation Program is broadly concerned with data collection, analysis, and dissemination. The Duke Clinical Research Institute(DCRI) provides the following services: • Data operations (includes project management, regulatory, contracts, finance) • Data management • Data coordinating activities The NCTSN Data Repository is housed at the DCRI. Data OperationsCommittee includes key members from NCTSN Centers, SAMHSA, Macro, UCLA, and Duke.

  10. Data and Evaluation Program: What Do We Do? Regulatory Issues Data Collection Initiatives • Electronic Service Utilization Form (eSUF) • Aggregate data on clients, services, and trainings • NCTSN member-driven data collection initiatives • Surveys (e.g., New Grantee Surveys) • Product evaluation • Collaborative group initiatives • Evaluation • Training, implementation, and dissemination efforts • Core Data Set (CDS) • Client-level data about youth and families served

  11. Introduction: CDS • Quality improvement initiative • Network-wide data collection that will provide answers to central Network questions • Essential for ensuring that the work done in the Network is systematically measured, disseminated, and recognized • Numerous benefits for participating clinicians, individual sites, and the Network as a whole • Clinical improvements and utility • Real-time reports • Sustainability

  12. NCTSN Clinical Summary Report

  13. What is in the CDS? • Demographic and living situation information • Trauma history and detail • Indicators of severity • Treatment services and interventions • Standardized assessment measures Behavioral and Emotional Difficulties • Child Behavior Checklist • UCLA PTSD Reaction Index • Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children-Alternate • CDS measures: administered at treatment entry, end of treatment (if short-term) or every 3 months

  14. Bidirectional Data Flow • All centers will have continuous (interactive) access to client-level reports (i.e., scoring of measures, summaries of client history) • All centers will have continuous (interactive) access to data status reports that describe data entered by their center • Each center can receive from Data Repository a ready-to-analyze data set of its own data

  15. Next Steps: Data Collection Data collection and data entry resource requirements are determined by your implementation strategy • Real-time—Clinicians collect and enter data online during assessment of client and family • Ex post facto—Clinicians collect data on paper during their assessment, and data entry staff enter data into InForm at a later date • Hybrid model—Combination of above models What will work best at your center??

  16. Next Steps: Regulatory Processes • Start the regulatory process soon!! • Assign a “point person” • Obtain documentation from your IRB • Submit a Public Health Information Letter • Signed Data Use Agreement • Templates, roadmaps and technical assistance • are available • - Web site: www.nctsn.org • - Data and Evaluation staff: Just a phone call away! • If your center is not affiliated with a local IRB, the DUHS IRB may serve as your IRB of record. Contact Bart Evans at the Data and Evaluation Program for more information.

  17. Next Steps: Training Training—Technology • How to use the InForm system Training—Clinical Content • How to complete the case report forms • How to administer the standardized assessments

  20. Introduction to Macro • Macro International • Management and consulting research organization • More than 1,000 employees • Multiple offices in the United States and overseas • Many contracts with local, State, and Federal governments (80–90 percent of Macro’s work) • More than 40 years as a government contractor • Applied health services research • Information technology • Organizational development • Communications 20

  21. The Common Goal To raise the standard of care and improve access to services throughout the United States for children and adolescents and their families who have experienced trauma 21

  22. Monitoring and Evaluating the NCTSN • Evaluation has always played a large role in the NCTSN • Initial congressional authorization required a “rigorous evaluation plan” for each center (P.L. 106-310, 2001) • Evaluation plans were to include methods for assessing the effectiveness of: • Processes • Treatment/intervention outcomes 22

  23. What is Cross-site Evaluation (CSE)? National Impact NREPP Descriptive and Clinical Outcome Study Network Collaboration CLIENT & FAMILY LEVEL NETWORK LEVEL Adoption and Implementation Satisfaction Study Product Development and Dissemination Study Trauma- Informed Services PROVIDER LEVEL 23

  24. History of NCTSN Growth andCSE Participation • 10 new grantees join NCTSN • 5 grantees continue on consecutive awards • 44 grantees currently funded • 80 grantees ever funded • Macro wins competitive bid to conduct CSE • Macro begins year of evaluation design, development, and review • OMB approves CSE design • Macro begins implementing CSE • 44 grantees currently funded • 70 grantees ever funded 53 grantees currently funded 36 grantees currently funded • CSE implementation ongoing • 44 grantees currently funded • 70 grantees ever funded • 16 new grantees join NCTSN • 12 grantees continue on consecutive awards • 44 grantees currently funded • 70 grantees ever funded 20 grantees currently funded • 5 new centers join NCTSN • 3 grantees continue on consecutive awards • 54 grantees currently funded • 85 grantees ever funded NCTSI program authorized under Children’s Health Act of 2000 24 Note: Counts of “currently funded” grantees exclude the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress

  30. Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS)and Performance ManagementNCTSICMHS Transformation Accountability (TRAC)

  31. Agenda • Performance management and CMHS • TRAC and NCTSI • Next steps

  32. NCTSI Eval CMHS TRAC National Outcome Measures (NOMs) SAMHSA Federal/4 yrs PART Review Federal/Annual GPRA CMHS Performance Management

  33. TRAC Overview CMHS-TRAC is a Web-based, centralized, data platform that collects and reports outcome measures on CMHS programs for the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).

  34. TRAC: A New Approach to Accountability • TRAC is a strategic imperative for CMHS • Driven by: • Government-wide requirements • SAMHSA data strategy • Center commitment to performance management • Outcome measures targeted at: • Consumer services • Technical assistance • Infrastructure development • Prevention

  35. SAMHSA-wide Domains:NOMs SAMHSA is obtaining OMB approval to use NOMs for GPRA reporting purposes: • Functioning • Stability in Housing • Employment and Education • Crime and Criminal Justice Status • Perception of Care • Social Connectedness • Access/Capacity • Retention • *Cost-effectiveness • *Use of Evidence-based Practices *Indicates that measures have not yet been developed for these domains

  36. CMHS GPRA Data Collection:Current Status • Most programs were collecting GPRA data in some form • Lack of standardized outcome data: • Limits the ability to demonstrate what CMHS has achieved • Creates difficulties in aggregating data to summarize program performance • NOMs tool is now the standard data collection method for all service programs

  37. TRAC and NCTSI Service Treatment Grants • NOMs tool used to collect interviews on all consumers enrolled in services: • Paper NOMs tool/electronic NOMs tool • Data collection points—baseline, reassessment, and discharge • Reassessment is collected every 3 months while consumer is receiving services • No followup after discharge or if consumer is lost to contact for 90 days or more

  38. What Can TRAC Do for You? • Reports: • Enrollment and reassessment rates • NOMs Outcome Report • Cross Tabs and Frequencies • Data download: • Grantees can download data through CMHS-TRAC system and run analysis

  39. How Can Grantees Prepare? • Visit the TRAC Web site for more information at https://www.samhsa-gpra.samhsa.gov/home/ index.htm (Click CMHS TRAC  General Information  Service Programs  Related Links ) • Contact TRAC Help Desk with your questions at 888-219-0238 or trachelp@westat.com • If necessary, seek IRB approval immediately • Determine processes for data collection
