Introduction Introduction This report serves to explain how San Diego County Mental Health Service s comprehensive use of the Recovery Self Assessment (RSA) instrument will be implemented to evaluate changes in recovery orientation of the system. The report will also: Introduce the constructs evaluated by the Recovery Self Assessment (RSA) Present the four versions of the instrument as they would be distributed to persons in recovery, community members/advocates, providers and administrators Provide previous data obtained by the authors of the instrument Summarize preliminary San Diego County client data from the May 2008 supplement to the Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program (MHSIP) survey 8 26 08 Recovery Self Assessment of the County Mental Health System 3
Key Findings Key Findings for Preliminary RSA Data RSA Subscales: Life Goals (how the system encourages clients to pursue individual goals and interests) Involvement (how the system allows clients to become involved in recovery oriented programs) Diversity of Treatment Options (how the system offers a range of treatment options and styles) Choice (how the system takes into account client preferences and choices during the recovery process) Individually Tailored Services (how the system helps clients tailor their treatment program to their individual needs) 1. The Involvement subscale was the only subscale with a rating less than 50% (fewer than 50% agree or strongly agree responses.) Items within this scale with less than 50% positive ratings include those assessing involvement with agency advisory board and management meetings, staff helping clients become involved with activities that give back to the community, and development of leisure interests and hobbies as a primary focus of services. 2. The system was rated highest on the item stating Agency staff do not use threats, bribes, or other forms of coercion to influence my behavior or choices. The highest proportion of respondents agreed or strongly agreed (83.35%) with this statement, compared to any other single item. 3. Compared to the Persons in Recovery data from the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services study, mean RSA scores for the San Diego County Mental Health System were 0.2 0.4 points lower in each subscale and almost 0.4 points lower for the overall total RSA score. 4. On average, San Diego County Mental Health Services system was rated highest in the Life Goals and Choice subscales, and lowest for the Involvement subscale. This is consistent with trends from the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services study. 5. When comparing RSA subscale means by gender, males rated the system higher than females across all subscales. 6. When comparing RSA subscale means by race/ethnicity, African Americans and clients in the Other category rated the system higher across all subscales except Treatment Diversity as compared to Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic, or Native American respondents. 7. Clients with Bipolar Disorder and Other Psychotic disorders rated the system highest across all subscales. There were no consistent patterns among the lowest average system scores. 8. There were differences between reporting units in mean RSA subscales. Case management programs were rated consistently higher than outpatient programs across all subscales. 8 26 08 Recovery Self Assessment of the County Mental Health System 4
Goals of Recovery Self Assessment Goals of Comprehensive use of the Recovery Self Assessment The San Diego County Mental Health Services (SDCMHS) is a leader in mental health outcomes analysis of its services. With an increased budget due to the Mental Health Services Act (MSHA), the county implemented new programs such as Full Service Partnerships (FSPs) that changed the way that mental health care is provided. While these programs increase quality of life of our consumers, it is worth determining that they are cost effective and promote recovery. As a system, SDCMHS is interested in a recovery model. While some projects are already recovery oriented or in progress to improve their recovery orientation, we are interested in measuring whether these changes are improving the recovery orientation of the system. We will be assessing the recovery orientation in several domains to identify strengths and weaknesses. The Recovery Self Assessment (RSA) instrument measures the degree to which recovery supporting practices are evident in a system and offers clearly defined guidelines reflective of a recovery oriented environment. The instrument has four versions available: the Persons in Recovery Version, the Family/Community Advocate Version, the Provider/Clinician Version, and the Agency Director/Administrator Version. The Persons in Recovery Version of the RSA is already employed in the bi annual SDCMHS consumer state survey (preliminary data is provided in this report). We are interested in implementing a confidential system to utilize the other three versions of the Recovery Self Assessment along the same timeline as the current consumer state surveys. The first round of comprehensive survey administration (including all four versions of the RSA distributed within the same time frame) will serve as a baseline to compare San Diego with other mental health systems. Future rounds of questionnaires will be used to evaluate improvements in the system as a result of recovery minded changes. It is important to note that all answers will be used to improve the system as a whole, not to evaluate individual clinic care or consumer outcomes. Responses are extremely confidential and will be used strictly for the purposes of improving services. The county has contracted UCSD to manage the data so clinics need not be concerned with the county seeing individual responses. Your help with this endeavor is greatly appreciated and we hope that you will participate honestly and objectively to improve the environment that SDCMHS affords its consumers. 8 26 08 Recovery Self Assessment of the County Mental Health System 5

Instrument Description Recovery Self Assessment (RSA) Description Note: All four versions of the actual RSA instrument are provided below. Introduction Aim: In conjunction with the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) recovery initiative, the Recovery Self-Assessment (RSA) (O Connell, Tondora, Croog, Evans, & Davidson, 2005) was developed by the authors to assess the degree to which recovery-supporting practices are evident in the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services agencies. The authors wanted to move beyond the rhetoric of recovery by operationalizing principles of recovery into standards and practices that could be observed, measured, and fed back to mental health organizations in ways that allowed these organizations to use data to inform program improvement and organizational change efforts. Conceptual Foundation: The RSA contains 36 items associated with nine principles of recovery identified through extensive literature review and input from persons in recovery, family members, service providers, and administrators. These principles are: renewing hope and commitment; redefining self; incorporating illness; being involved in meaningful activities; overcoming stigma; assuming control; becoming empowered and exercising citizenship; managing symptoms; and being supported by others (O Connell et al. 2005). Development: Davidson, O Connell, Sells, and Staeheli (2003) conducted an extensive literature review of recovery from mental illness and addictions to identify common principles of recovery and recovery-oriented practices. As noted above, based on the literature, 9 principles of recovery were identified and used to generate the initial 80-items (Davidson et al.). Experts in clinical and community psychology, consumers and direct service providers of mental health and addiction services, and family members provided feedback and suggestions for the revision and/or addition of new items. The items were then edited, balanced with regard to conceptual domain, and selectively eliminated to generate the current, 36-item version of the RSA. The RSA was adapted for completion by CEO/agency directors, providers, persons in recovery, and family/significant others/advocates. Principle components factor analysis revealed five primary factors, all with good to excellent levels of internal consistency: Life Goals, Involvement, Diversity of Treatment Options, Choice, Individually Tailored Services. Stakeholders Involved in Instrument Development: Consumers/survivors, family/friends of consumer/survivor, members of racial and ethnic minority groups, providers, researchers, advocates, and administrators. 8 26 08 Recovery Self Assessment of the County Mental Health System 8
Instrument Description Description Items and Domains: The RSA contains 36 items. The instruments are constituted of five subscales that measure the domains: Life Goals, Involvement, Diversity of Treatment Options, Choice, and Individually- Tailored Services. Domains were developed by Principal Components Factor Analysis with Varimax rotation. All items are rated using the same 5-point Likert scale that ranges from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Also included is the option of marking not applicable for any given item. RSA Sample Items Person in Recovery Version: Staff focus on helping me to build connections in my neighborhood and community. Response options: 1 = Strongly Disagree - 5= Strongly Agree or N/A CEO/Directors Version and Provider Version: Helping people build connections with their neighborhoods and communities is one of the primary activities in which staff at this agency are involved. Response options: 1 = Strongly Disagree - 5= Strongly Agree or N/A Family/Significant Other/Advocate Version: Staff focus on helping people in recovery to build connections in their neighborhood and community. Response options: 1 = Strongly Disagree - 5= Strongly Agree or N/A Populations: The RSA is intended for use with programs/services for adults who have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness, dual diagnosis, or substance abuse. The RSA has been tested with individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness, dual diagnosis, or substance abuse from various ethnic/racial populations: Black or African Americans, White, and Hispanic or Latino. During testing, respondents also included mental health and addiction service providers, family members or significant others, and administrators/directors of state-funded mental health and addiction services. Subgroup analyses by ethnicity/race or by diagnosis have not been conducted to establish whether differences exist across groups. 8 26 08 Recovery Self Assessment of the County Mental Health System 9
Instrument Description Service Setting: The RSA is intended for use with individuals who receive and/or provide services in inpatient settings, outpatient settings, peer-run programs, residential programs, and social programs. The RSA has been tested in the previously mentioned settings and is designed to assess recovery-oriented practices regardless of setting. There are some settings where some of the items may be more or less applicable (e.g., most services take place in the community may not be applicable to an inpatient or criminal justice setting); however, it is argued that the RSA items may reflect more ideal recovery-supporting practices that could be applied in any setting. Methods of Administration: 1) Self administered 2) Mail administration Administration Time: Less than 10 minutes. Qualification/Training Requirement: None, the instrument is self-administered. Utility Quality Improvement Uses: The RSA operationalizes the principles of recovery, identifying objective practices that can be assessed from multiple perspectives. The RSA illustrates how research can be translated into everyday practice through the use of self-assessment and structured feedback. Data from the RSA can be utilized to create a Recovery Profile for an agency that would help agency personnel and stakeholders review their relative standing in comparison to other agencies, their relative strengths, and areas of improvement. Intended Level of Analysis: Data are intended to be analyzed at the Program Level and/or System Level. Current/Past Uses: The RSA has been used to conduct a statewide assessment of recovery-oriented practices in Connecticut. It has also been used in several organizations nationally as a self-evaluative tool. These organizations include mental health centers, Veterans Administration hospitals, social-rehabilitation programs, and other state mental health evaluations. The RSA has recently been selected for use by the V.A. as a measure of system recovery-oriented practices. 8 26 08 Recovery Self Assessment of the County Mental Health System 10

Published Data Published Data Creators of the Recovery Self Assessment (RSA) conducted a study to evaluate the degree to which recovery oriented practices were perceived to be implemented in mental health and addiction agencies funded by the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, as assessed by the RSA. The study used all four versions of the RSA to assess recovery orientation from multiple perspectives. Nine hundred and seventy four individuals (29% individual response rate) were surveyed from 78 facilities (39% agency response rate). The final number of respondents from the 78 agencies was: 68 directors, 344 providers, 326 persons in recovery, and 229 family members/significant others/advocates. A summary of RSA means for the five subscales and overall RSA score are shown in the table below: REFERENCE: O Connell, M., Tondora, J., Croog, G., Evans, A., Davidson, L. (2005). From Rhetoric to Routine: Assessing Perceptions of Recovery Oriented Practices In a State Mental Health and Addiction System.

Preliminary Client Data Preliminary Client Data The spring 2008 Supplemental State Survey, distributed from May 12, 2008 to May 23, 2008, contained the persons in recovery version of the Recovery Self Assessment (RSA). The data presented below is a baseline analysis of the first implementation of this client RSA. To fully utilize the instrument in assessing changes in the recovery orientation of the system, future distributions of RSA surveys will include all four versions over the same window of administration. Compiling the RSA data with other parts of the state survey and other data sources (including INSYST), produced an analysis of Recovery Self Assessment scores by gender, race/ethnicity, diagnosis, and reporting unit type. RSA items contained answer choices based on a 5 point Likert scale with the following coding system: 1= Strongly Disagree 2= Disagree 3= I am Neutral 4= Agree 5= Strongly Agree A Not Applicable option was provided; however, these answers were not included in the analysis below. RSA items are grouped into 5 subscales: Life Goals Involvement Diversity of Treatment Options Choice Individually Tailored Services Each subscale is an average of the individual items within that domain. An RSA total score is assigned as an average of all 36 questions in the RSA instrument. 8 26 08 Recovery Self Assessment of the County Mental Health System 22
RSA Subscales 1. Life Goals RSA Subscales Question Q 25 Q 29 Q 33 Q 26 Q 24 Q 23 Q 22 Q 36 Q 20 Q 14 Q 16 Item wording Staff actively assist me with the development of career and life goals that go beyond symptom management and stabilization. Staff routinely assist me in the pursuit of my educational and/or employment goals. The role of agency staff is to assist me, and other people in recovery with fulfilling my individually defined goals and aspirations. Agency staff are diverse in terms of culture, ethnicity, lifestyle, and interests. If the agency cannot meet my needs, procedures are in place to refer me to other programs and services. Staff play a primary role in helping me to become involved in non mental health/addiction related activities, such as church groups, special interest groups, and adult education. Staff use a language of recovery (ie., hope, high expectations, respect) in everyday conversations. Agency staff believe that I can recover and make my own treatment and life choices. The achievement of my goals is formally acknowledged and celebrated by the agency. Staff at this agency encourage me to take risks and try new things. Staff are knowledgeable about special interest groups and activities in the community. Data Sources: Supplemental State Survey (5/2008), UBH (7/2008 download) Source: HSRC (AL, BL) 23
