Comprehensive Community Services participant functional outcomes analysis

This data brief features the results of an analysis of functional screen data for a recent group of Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) participants.

The main goal of CCS is to support participants so that they may do well on the path to recovery. Changes in the functional needs of CCS participants may be used to illustrate how well the statewide program supports its participants to achieve this goal.

Key findings of this analysis include:

  • CCS helps participants do well on the path to recovery. This impact is more pronounced for adult participants when compared to youth.
  • CCS successfully achieves its goal to reduce costly, acute services such as inpatient, crisis, and emergency services for many of its participants.
  • CCS may be able to better identify adult participants with substance use problems and help them to enroll in effective treatment.
  • CCS helps to improve some adult participants' living situations.
  • CCS decreases likelihood of suicide attempts and suicidal ideations among youth participants.
  • CCS decreases the likelihood to destroy or vandalize property among youth participants.

The CCS Data Brief is part of an effort to provide CCS stakeholders with timely data insights to help inform quality improvement efforts. Previous CCS Data Brief bulletins can be viewed on the DHS website.
