Impact Study Report. Volume I. An Evaluation of the Impact of Regional Office 2% Technical Assistance Program Activities, FY 1976-1978

摘要

This project had two major products: (1) a study of the National Institute of Mental Health and Regional office management of the 2% technical assistance program for Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs), and (2) a study of the impact of the 2% technical assistance on CMHCs. The management study examined the amounts and types of technical assistance provided to CMHCs, the amounts of funds expended, and the various styles and strategies for administration of the program. The impact study examined the relative effectiveness of various modes and types of technical assistance to CMHCs. Both studies found the program to be operating in a reasonably effective manner, but offered a series of recommendations for improvement.
