* Title:
Evaluation of the SAMHSA Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration Grant Program

2.0

* Briefly describe the purposes, populations, procedures, data sources, and methods of this project or
provide an abstract. (2,000 character limit)
Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration (PBHCI) is a SAMHSA service grant program designed to
improve the overall wellness and physical health of people with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) and/or co-occurring
substance use disorders by integrating primary care services into in community mental health settings. RAND will
conduct a program-wide (n=56 clinic) evaluation of the impact of these integrated services on consumers'
physical and mental health. This project includes a base year and two optional years. Activities in the Base Year
and Optional Year 1 will include secondary data collection from clinical staff (quarterly reports of process
activities; infrastructure data from a SAMHSA on-line data repository, TRAC, collected for SAMHSA's ongoing QA
activities) and patients (clinical registry data abstraction; survey and physical health data from a SAMHSA on-line
data repository, TRAC, also for SAMHSA's ongoing QI activities). It also includes primary data collection from
patients (physical health assessments and surveys). Optional year 2 activities will include secondary data
collection (clinical staffs' quarterly reports; patient-level clinical registry data) and primary data collection (clinical
staff interviews and surveys). This application includes only the activites in the Base Year and Optional Year 1 of
the study because the funding available for Optional Year 2 activities is still uncertain.

* Provide a step-by-step overview of the procedure(s).
Individuals who have provided written informed consent for primary data collection will participate in a physical
health exam. The physical health exam will be conducted by trained and experienced staff from OnSite Health
Diagnostics -- a national biometric and diagnostic health screening company (HIPAA compliant).
OnSite Health will perform the following patient assessments during the physical health exam:
Height, weight, body mass index (calculated from height and weight), blood pressure, waist circumference,

Print: 2010-0762 - Evaluation of the SAMHSA Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration Grant Program

breath carbon monoxide (an indicator of tobacco smoke exposure; participant blows into a tube).
OnSite Health Diagnostics licensed and trained phlebotomists will also collect a blood sample (approximately 3
tablespoons) for the following tests: blood sugar and HgBA1C (diabetes indicators), cholesterol (total, HDL and
LDL), and triglycerides.
OnSite staff will also ask participants if they succesfully fasted for 8 hours prior to the health exam; an 8 hour
fast is necessary prior to the blood tests for diabetes indicators
3.0

Please describe the training procedures for the data collectors.
OnSite Health staff who are coordinating the data collection will undergo a half-day training session at their
headquarters which will be attended and supplemented with material provided by RAND staff (Perlman). RAND
materials will focus on strategies for working effectively with seriously mentally ill adults.
Each OnSite Health team will include a nurse or similar staff with extensive experience working with psychiatric
populations.
OnSite staff doing the primary data collection are experienced physical health assessors. They will also receive
an additional debriefing about the each site the morning of data collection.

4.0

* Will individuals participate in this procedure more than once? (e.g., a longitudinal study)
Yes
No
Possibly

4.1

* If yes or possibly, at what intervals and how many intervals?
Participants at Control Sites:
Participants at control sites will participate in two physical health exams, conducted one year apart. These two
exams will represent a baseline assessment and 1-year follow-up assessment of participants' physical health.
Participants at Intervention Sites:
Participants at PBHCI intervention clinics will only take part in one physical health exam. This will occur in the
second year of the study (Optional Year 1) because RAND will extract comparable baseline data for participants
at intervention clinics from TRAC Physical Health data (see TRAC Physical Health procedures section; TRAC
data do not exist for participants at control sites).

5.0

5.1

5.2

* Are you collecting any tests or measurements where the individual’s well-being might be affected
by not knowing the results? yes
* If yes, what tests or measurements are you collecting?
Height, weight, body mass index (calculated from height and weight), blood pressure, waist circumference, breath
carbon monoxide (an indicator of tobacco smoke exposure; participant blow into a tube).
OnSite Health Diagnostics licensed and trained phlebotomists will also collect a blood sample (approximately 3
tablespoons) for the following tests: blood sugar and HgBA1C (indicators of diabetes), cholesterol (total, HDL and
LDL), and triglycerides.
* If yes, what are the plans to inform the respondents?
OnSite Health Diagnostics will provide participants with the results of the mechanical assessment (Height, weight,
body mass index, blood pressure, waist circumference, breath carbon monoxide) at the time of the assessment.
Copies of the results of blood tests will be mailed to participants when they are available from the lab (typically
within 2 weeks of the assessment).
OnSite will also send copies of the results of the mechanical assessment and lab results to participants' primary
care providers (at intervention sites) and to the medical directors at the participants' control clinics, respectively.
Note that there are no primary care providers at the control clinics.

by not knowing the results? no

6.0

* Will participants be assigned to experimental and control/comparison conditions at the individual or
group level? no

8.0

* Will any drug, substances, nutrients, or supplements be administered as part of this procedure? no

6.4 Risk Questions
1.0

* Which of the following might be encountered during participation? (Check all that apply)
A. Physical consequences (e.g., pain or discomfort)
B. Psychological consequences (e.g., distress, embarrassment, or pressure to participate)
C. Financial/economic harm
D. Social harm (e.g., stigma of participation)
E. Other
F. No risk for this procedure

Psychological Discomfort/Distress
3.1

3.2

3.3

* Might the amount of pyschological discomfort or distress be greater than ordinarily encountered in
daily life by healthy individuals in the U.S.?
yes
* Might the likelihood of psychological discomfort or distress be greater than ordinarily encountered in
daily life by healthy individuals in the U.S.?
yes
* Please explain the nature of the discomfort or distress, what might cause it, and steps that would be
taken to mitigate it.
Some participants may find it embarassing to answer questions about their physical, mental, or behavioral health.
Some participants may also feel pressured to exaggerate their satisfaction with the care they receive at their
community behavioral healthcare center because data collection is taking place at that location.
We have taken steps to mitigate these risks:
1. Participants will complete surveys in private booths or rooms.
2. Independent data collectors (OnSite Health staff) will be adminstering questions about their perceptions of care.
3. Participants will be reminded that all survey data will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with their
care team (unlike the results of the physical health exam).

Social Harm
5.1

5.2

5.3

* Might the amount of social harm be greater than ordinarily encountered in daily life by healthy
individuals in the U.S.?
no
* Might the likelihood of social harm be greater than ordinarily encountered in daily life by healthy
individuals in the U.S.?
no
* Please explain the nature of the social harm, what might cause it, and steps that would be taken to
mitigate it.
Risks of social harm are associated with potential breaches of confidentiality. OnSite Health is experienced at
preserving patient confidentiality and maintaining strict HIPAA compliance, as is this RAND team. Data will not be
stored with participant names and all linking information will be kept in a locked cabinet in the co-PIs (Scharf's)
office.

* Provide a step-by-step overview of the procedure(s).
Each consumer enrolled in the PBHCI program is required to complete a physical health exam and lifestyle
survey at entry into PBHCI services, every six months, and at discharge from the program.
The lifestyle survey is SAMHSA's National Outcomes Measures tool, which is built into TRAC, SAMHSA's
Transformation Accountability system. The TRAC system is a web-based system through which all SAMHSA
CMHS grants report performance measurement data. The NOMs tool (attached) includes questions about:
demographics, functioning, stability in housing, education and employment, crime and criminal justice,
perception of care, social connectedness, reassessment status, clinical status at discharge, and clinical services
received.
The NOMs lifestyle survey is administered by a trained grantee staff person and entered directly into the TRAC
system.
Participants in the PBHCI program also undergo regular screenings for physical health conditions. PBHCI
grantee medical staff (or staff at a partnering medical organization) are required to check blood pressure, height,
weight, body mass index on a quarterly basis, and enter the information to TRAC every 6 months. They may
optionally check for and report waist circumference and breath carbon monoxide during these assessments.
Participants also undergo an annual blood test for either blood glucose or HgBA1C, as well as tryglycerides,
and cholesterol (total, HLD, LDL). PBHCI grantee clinic staff enter these data into the TRAC system once per
year, coinciding with a NOMs survey

3.0

Please describe the training procedures for the data collectors.
Staff participate in several webinars to learn how to administer the lifestyle survey and to upload survey and
physical health data to the TRAC system. Staff who complete the physical health exam are licensed medical
personnel funded by the PBHCI grant.

1.0

* What are the potential benefits of the research to society?
This evaluation of SAMHSA's PBHCI program will provide the first rigorous evaluation of a nation-wide effort to
integrate primary care services into community behavioral healthcare centers. Data from this evaluation will be
used to determine if integrating primary care into community behavioral healthcare centers improves the physical
and mental health of persons with serious mental illness who receive care at community behavioral health care
centers. It will also be used to describe the structural and clinical approaches to integration being implemented at
community behavioral health care centers, as well as which models and respective model features have the
greatest impact on seriously mentally ill consumers' physical and mental health.
