SUMMARY:AOT Evaluation Highlights: What Providers\, Communities\, and Data Evaluation Professionals Should Know
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, March 19 at 3 p.m. ET for AOT Evaluation Highlights: What Providers\, Communities\, and Data Evaluation Professionals Should Know\, presented by Dr. Kiersten Jeske of RTI International and Dr. Marvin Swartz of Duke University. Drs. Jeske and Swartz will present findings from the March 2024 AOT evaluation report\, Evaluation of the Assisted Outpatient Treatment Grant Program for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness\, prepared by RTI International in partnership with Duke University and Policy Research Associates (PRA)\, alongside their Psychiatric Research and Clinical Practice journal publication focusing on the report’s clinical and social functioning outcomes. \nThe report evaluates the implementation and outcomes of SAMHSA’s AOT grant program across six SAMHSA-funded AOT sites\, and addresses research questions around AOT program outcomes\, client and family perceptions\, and resources and costs at AOT sites. Drs. Jeske and Swartz will discuss key themes from the multi-site evaluation\, and attendees will gain insight into considerations for interpreting AOT outcomes data\, as well as implications for current policy and practice within community mental health systems. \nKiersten Jeske\, Ph.D.\, is a behavioral health researcher at RTI International whose work focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of behavioral health services\, including leading the SAMHSA‑funded national evaluation of AOT programs and multiple studies on behavioral health crisis services. Marvin Stanley Swartz\, M.D.\, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine\, is a mental health services researcher dedicated to examining interventions and legal mechanisms that improve outcomes for individuals with severe mental illness\, including involuntary outpatient commitment\, psychiatric advance directives\, and antipsychotic treatment effectiveness; he has served on the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Mandated Community Treatment\, co‑led NIMH‑ and MacArthur‑funded studies on Psychiatric Advance Directives\, and contributed to major clinical trials. \nDr. Jeske holds a Ph.D. and master’s degree in psychology from North Carolina State University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, and Dr. Swartz earned his M.D. from Tufts University. \nRegister here.
