This presentation will explore the interrelationship between system integration and client level outcomes within the ACCESS program. The presentation examines whether improving collaboration between mental health and substance abuse organizations leads to improved outcomes for homeless persons with a serious mental illness and substance abuse disorder. The sample used is a subset of ACCESS clients with reported substance abuse. The principal independent measures will include interorganizational network measures of integration using a sectoral matrix as the analytic dataset.
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the primary hypothesis of the ACCESS demonstration as well as how this secondary hypothesis relates to the primary hypothesis. 2. Identify the independent, dependent and control variables incorporated within the analysis. 3. Articulate the extent to which the hypothesis is supported by the data presented
