Survey Opportunities: Ohio Youth BH Services Assessment: $25-$50 Stipends

The Prevention Action Alliance is working in collaboration with OhioMHAS, RecoveryOhio and Kent State University to identify the gaps and challenges in Ohio’s mental health system, especially for families with children ages 3 – 18. The Youth Behavioral Health Services Assessment Project is a statewide assessment to better understand how children and families in Ohio experience behavioral health services. The survey has two components – 1) a family survey component, and 2) a behavioral health provider survey component.

Family Survey: This survey is interested in exploring experiences families have accessing and receiving behavioral health services and learning what supports families need to improve and maintain their child’s/children’s behavioral health. Interviews will take place virtually and will last for 60 minutes. Participating families will be eligible to receive a $50 Amazon Gift Card stipend that will be provided to participating families. See the FAMILY SURVEY flyer for more information.

Provider Survey: The project is also seeking feedback from providers including information about barriers to providing services, gaps in services, needed support and services, and overall experiences working with families. Interviews will take place virtually and will last for 60 minutes. Participating providers will be eligible to receive a $25 Amazon Gift Card Stipend. See the PROVIDER SURVEY flyer for more information, including the stipend that will be provided to participating providers.

Please share this information with your clients and staff, as appropriate.
