The
Analytic Policy Support Laboratory tests the effectiveness of
programs that blend mental health and social supports for multi-problem
populations.
The
Laboratory has looked at programs that combine Family Critical Time
Intervention with housing for homeless families, and the effectiveness
of these programs for single mothers and their children.
On a system level applied cost and cost-effective analyses are:
-
contrasting supported housing with community residences,
- analyzing
the costs to the mental health system when trauma goes untreated,
-
studying the defacto mental health system in terms of where persons
with severe mental disorders choose to live and the mental health
services they receive, and
- looking
at the use of non-mental health providers (clergy, alternative
community healers) in disaster planning.

Impact Analysis: Carole Siegel, Kris Jones, Judy Samuels
1. Estimation of premium increments under parity legislation.
2. Estimation of the potential for cost shifting from private
to state under parity legislation.

health system to meet the needs of persons exposed to disasters
