Community Support Evaluation: BHTCC
Concept Mapping Sorting/Rating Activity
Description of Participation: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is sponsoring a national evaluation of Behavioral Health Treatment Court Collaborative (BHTCC) programs. Concept mapping is online activity to be used to identify ways that the BHTCC supports program participants in their recovery. It is anticipated that between 10-20 people will participate in this concept mapping activity. Participants will include BHTCC program participants, peer specialists, family members, judges, attorneys, court personnel, treatment providers, and case managers. The information you share will be combined with everyone else’s information at your BHTCC. The combined information is also expected to be used to identify the most important ways that the BHTCCs contribute to participant recovery and ways that programs can improve this support. We are asking you to take part in this activity because of your involvement in the BHTCC. Given your involvement, you can provide information about the components of the BHTCC that are most important to supporting recovery and ensuring BHTCC program outcomes.
Privacy: The information that you provide via this online activity will be kept private except as otherwise required by law. No identifying information is requested as part of this exercise. The information that we report to SAMHSA will not contain any identifying information.
Benefits: The research involves no prospect of direct benefit to individual respondents, but is likely to yield generalizable knowledge that could be relevant to the consumers of the BHTCC program and to the field.
Risks: Completion of this inventory poses few, if any, risks to you or your agency. You may choose to cease participation at any time, for whatever reason.

Sorting Instructions
We need your assistance sorting all of the ideas generated for this concept mapping activity. Please categorize the statements, according to your view of their meaning or theme. To do this, you will sort each statement into piles in a way that makes sense to you. To accomplish the sorting activity, you will follow the following steps.
Read through the statement in the Unsorted Statements column below.
Sort each statement into a category that you create. Group the statements for how similar in meaning or theme they are to one another. Give each pile a name that describes its theme or contents.
DO NOT create categories according to value or priority in the BHTCC such as how important or difficult something is.
DO NOT create categories such as “other” that group together dissimilar or unconnected content. Put a statement alone in its own category if you do not think it is related to other piles or statements. Make sure every statement is put somewhere. DO NOT leave any statements in the Unsorted Statements column. To save sorting information, select the SAVE button. You will be able to return to complete your saved work if you need to leave the sorting session.
There is no requirement on the number of piles you should create.
Rating Instructions
You will rate all of the generated statements twice—one on how important the statement is, on a scale of 1 to 5, and once for how frequently you believe each statement occurs in practice (in the BHTCC program) on a scale of 1 to 5.
Importance. One a scale of 1 to 5, please rate how important the following statements are where: 1=not important; 2=slightly important; 3=moderately important; 4=very important; and 5=extremely important (or essential)
Frequency. On a scale of 1 to 5, please rate how frequently the following statements occur in practice where: 1=never; 2=rarely; 3=occasionally; 4=frequently; 5=very frequently
The SAVE RATING INFORMATION button will save the current rating information if you need to leave the rating session. [NOTE: The screen will display response categories with open circles and each statement.]
