Maryland will continue to collect and refine URS and NOMS data. Funding will also be used to support evaluation and quality improvement efforts based upon the data which have come from Maryland's fee-for-service Public Mental Health Systems. Data will be assembled from other sources with the PMHS and from sources external to the PMHS to extend these outcome evaluations and quality improvement efforts. The series of Data Training Seminars which are targeted to administrators, providers, and advocates will be continued and its focus broadened. Technical assistance will be provided to the mental health Core Service Agencies, the local mental health authorities, in order to assist them with obtaining data from current sources, and presenting and analyzing data for inclusion in the planning documents that are prepared annually.

Maryland's Mental Health Transformation provides a set of strategies to bring the vision of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health closer to reality for citizens of Maryland.The proposal brings together the experience of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and its evolving history of transforming mental health services in Maryland with the newly created Maryland Department of Disabilities, which is charged with service integration and system reform for people with disabilities. The Transformation Work Group brings together a powerful coalition of Cabinet Secretaries, senior State officials, leaders in the consumer, family, and mental health advocacy movements and representatives of the highest echelon of executive leadership in our State to facilitate deep and lasting change in the way services are delivered. The proposal also features enhancement of already strong public-academic and public/private provider partnerships in the areas of evidence based practices and emphasis on a recovery focused approach to service. The University of Maryland, Center of Mental Health Services Research, located in the School of Medicine, plays a prominent role in the proposed activities. Overall, the proposed transformation activities take stock of the current strengths of the system with a realistic appraisal of areas needing change and brings together the resources and people needed to effect meaningful and lasting change in the system.

The goal of the Family-Informed Trauma Treatment (FITT) Center is to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate theoretically sound, family-based interventions for underserved urban and military populations that apply accepted methods of trauma treatment within a systemic model of family process to support positive outcomes for children and families. This Center builds upon an empirically supported, family-centered abuse prevention model and two emergent trauma-focused, family systems intervention strategies to fill the void in the child trauma field for standardized, trauma-specific family therapies. Our Family-Informed Trauma Treatment Model will embed the core components of trauma-informed care within a comprehensive framework of service delivery for families. This Center represents a unique collaboration among Baltimore's major academic and service institutions including the University of Maryland's Schools of Medicine and Social Work and the Kennedy Krieger Family Center.

The goal of the American Nurses Association Minority Fellowship Program is to develop ethnic minority nurses who are recognized for excellence in creating, transmitting, and utilizing knowledge and skills to improve the health of people in local and global communities. The intent of this project is to increase the number of PhD prepared nurses from underrepresented ethnic minority groups. Project Goals and Measurable Objectives: To achieve the goals of the MFP, the staff will develop and strengthen the MFP infrastructure that will include a paperless office that has all aspects of its components automated and password protected to ensure privacy and confidentiality. The staff will computerize all documents that will allow for safe and efficient retrieval. These documents will be used for evaluation purposes and future planning of the project. The evaluation component will be developed that requests data from the Fellows, their advisors, their employers, their peers, and the MFP staff. Activities such as the infrastructure components of the project, the learning activities, and the communication processes that are associated with the MFP will be evaluated through electronic media. The Fellows will also be asked to participate in evaluating all aspects of this project. The Measurable Objectives Include: (1)Increase the pool of ethnic minority PhD trained nurses with expertise in MH/SA disorders practice, research and health policy, (2) Achieve its work through the professional organization, the American Nurses Association, and by the Fellows' matriculation at a variety of accredited colleges and universities, and (3) Assure that Fellows assume leadership roles in translating science to service, reducing mortality and morbidity through excellence in direct care, and enhancing well-being among ethnic minority populations.

In partnership with Johns Hopkins University, the White Mountain Apache Tribe proposes to expand its suicide prevention initiative, "Celebrating Life," by sanctioning an Inter-Agency Coalition of public/private agency leaders to launch an integrated three-tiered prevention approach. Evidence-based interventions addressing risk and protective factors on an individual, family and community basis will be culturally adapted, piloted, and evaluated. The first tier will increase tribal leadership's capacity to educate the community regarding suicidal behavior and to enhance the tribe's effectiveness at promoting protective factors that can broadly reduce youth suicide risk community-wide. The second tier addresses the needs of youth who have not yet made a suicide attempt, but who have risk factors identified by community gatekeepers. The final tier will serve youth who have made a suicide attempt.

Now, and for many decades, drug and alcohol use and abuse problems have continued to occur in Native American communities. More recently, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis have appeared in all but a few of these communities. Along with the frustration, pain, and senseless deaths that result from these problems, Native Americans must struggle with treating and preventing a problem that doesn't seem to fit within its own traditional healing systems. This proposal seeks to build a foundation for delivering and sustaining effective and culturally relevant services to prevent and reduce the onset of substance abuse (SA), and transmission of HIV/ AIDS and hepatitis among urban Native Americans and Native American reentry populations in Baltimore, MD. The overall purpose of the proposed project is to implement a culturally responsive HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis program that will increase and sustain service capacity to Native Americans in order to address SA, HIV, and hepatitis problems. The increases in service capacity are designed to: (1) build skills and knowledge; (2) promote new peer group norms of preventive communications and behaviors; and (3) help sustain new health promoting habits. Using the Strategic Prevention Framework as a model to develop culturally relevant service capacity specifically for urban Native Americans, the five goals of the project are to: (1) Conduct a community needs assessment; (2) Mobilize and build capacity to address SA/HIV and hepatitis prevention needs; (3) Develop a comprehensive strategic plan; (4) Implement evidence based prevention programs and infrastructure development activities; and, (5) Assess program effectiveness. Service capacity will be enhanced through partnership with an urban Native American program, LifeLines Foundation that serves substance abusing Native Americans in Maryland. Through this partnership, we will develop workgroups that provide syntheses of state and local indicator data specifically on Native Americans.

A grant-funded youth preventive services coordinator will develop and deliver (1) orientation training adapted from the US Navy's promising PREVENT curriculum, (2) youth-oriented materials for current prevention programs, and (3) training of a large workplace peer prevention network, Operation RedBlock, on young worker issues. Operation RedBlock, a union-operated, management supported, and company-funded peer support program was implemented in 1989. RedBlock harnesses the energy of 2,400 active volunteers to keep the workplace substance-free and steer employees with drug or alcohol problems to help. RedBlock markoff, which allows employees with substance abuse issues to "mark-off" and not get on board with confidentially without penalty and receive assistance for these issues.
