The following datasets are based on the children and youth (under age 21) beneficiary population and consist of aggregate Mental Health Service data derived from Medi-Cal claims, encounter, and eligibility systems. These datasets were developed in accordance with California Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) § 14707.5 (added as part of Assembly Bill 470 on 10/7/17). Please contact BHData@dhcs.ca.gov for any questions or to request previous years’ versions of these datasets. Note: The Performance Dashboard AB 470 Report Application Excel tool development has been discontinued. Please see the Behavioral Health reporting data hub at https://behavioralhealth-data.dhcs.ca.gov/ for access to dashboards utilizing these datasets and other behavioral health data.

The Performance Dashboard (formerly Performance Outcomes System) datasets are developed in accordance with legislative mandates to improve outcomes and inform decision-making for beneficiaries receiving Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS). The intent of the Dashboard is to gather information relevant to particular mental health outcomes to provide useful summary reports for ongoing quality improvement and to support decision-making. Please note: the Excel file Performance Dashboard has been discontinued and replaced with the SMHS Performance Dashboards found on Behavioral Health Reporting (ca.gov).

This dataset tracks the updates made on the dataset "MHS Dashboard Children and Youth Demographic Datasets and Report Tool" as a repository for previous versions of the data and metadata.

Mean scores of the criteria for the quality of health information related to high-risk behaviors from adolescents’ perspective.

The datasets in this collection are entirely fake. They were developed principally to demonstrate the workings of a number of utility scoring and mapping algorithms. However, they may be of more general use to others. In some limited cases, some of the included files could be used in exploratory simulation based analyses. However, you should read the metadata descriptors for each file to inform yourself of the validity and limitations of each fake dataset. To open the RDS format files included in this dataset, the R package ready4use needs to be installed (see https://ready4-dev.github.io/ready4use/ ). It is also recommended that you install the youthvars package ( https://ready4-dev.github.io/youthvars/) as this provides useful tools for inspecting and validating each dataset.

EMSIndicators:The number of individual patients administered naloxone by EMSThe number of naloxone administrations by EMSThe rate of EMS calls involving naloxone administrations per 10,000 residentsData Source:The Vermont Statewide Incident Reporting Network (SIREN) is a comprehensive electronic prehospital patient care data collection, analysis, and reporting system. EMS reporting serves several important functions, including legal documentation, quality improvement initiatives, billing, and evaluation of individual and agency performance measures.Law Enforcement Indicators:The Number of law enforcement responses to accidental opioid-related non-fatal overdosesData Source:The Drug Monitoring Initiative (DMI) was established by the Vermont Intelligence Center (VIC) in an effort to combat the opioid epidemic in Vermont. It serves as a repository of drug data for Vermont and manages overdose and seizure databases. Notes:Overdose data provided in this dashboard are derived from multiple sources and should be considered preliminary and therefore subject to change. Overdoses included are those that Vermont law enforcement responded to. Law enforcement personnel do not respond to every overdose, and therefore, the numbers in this report are not representative of all overdoses in the state. The overdoses included are limited to those that are suspected to have been caused, at least in part, by opioids. Inclusion is based on law enforcement's perception and representation in Records Management Systems (RMS). All Vermont law enforcement agencies are represented, with the exception of Norwich Police Department, Hartford Police Department, and Windsor Police Department, due to RMS access. Questions regarding this dataset can be directed to the Vermont Intelligence Center at dps.vicdrugs@vermont.gov.Overdoses Indicators:The number of accidental and undetermined opioid-related deathsThe number of accidental and undetermined opioid-related deaths with cocaine involvementThe percent of accidental and undetermined opioid-related deaths with cocaine involvementThe rate of accidental and undetermined opioid-related deathsThe rate of heroin nonfatal overdose per 10,000 ED visitsThe rate of opioid nonfatal overdose per 10,000 ED visitsThe rate of stimulant nonfatal overdose per 10,000 ED visitsData Source:Vermont requires towns to report all births, marriages, and deaths. These records, particularly birth and death records are used to study and monitor the health of a population. Deaths are reported via the Electronic Death Registration System. Vermont publishes annual Vital Statistics reports.The Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE) captures and analyzes recent Emergency Department visit data for trends and signals of abnormal activity that may indicate the occurrence of significant public health events.Population Health Indicators:The percent of adolescents in grades 6-8 who used marijuana in the past 30 daysThe percent of adolescents in grades 9-12 who used marijuana in the past 30 daysThe percent of adolescents in grades 9-12 who drank any alcohol in the past 30 daysThe percent of adolescents in grades 9-12 who binge drank in the past 30 daysThe percent of adolescents in grades 9-12 who misused any prescription medications in the past 30 daysThe percent of adults who consumed alcohol in the past 30 daysThe percent of adults who binge drank in the past 30 daysThe percent of adults who used marijuana in the past 30 daysData Sources:The Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is part of a national school-based surveillance system conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The YRBS monitors health risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and young adults.The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a telephone survey conducted annually among adults 18 and older. The Vermont BRFSS is completed by the Vermont Department of Health in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Notes:Prevalence estimates and trends for the 2021 Vermont YRBS were likely impacted by significant factors unique to 2021, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the delay of the survey administration period resulting in a younger population completing the survey. Students who participated in the 2021 YRBS may have had a different educational and social experience compared to previous participants. Disruptions, including remote learning, lack of social interactions, and extracurricular activities, are likely reflected in the survey results. As a result, no trend data is included in the 2021 report and caution should be used when interpreting and comparing the 2021 results to other years.The Vermont Department of Health (VDH) seeks to promote destigmatizing and equitable language. While the VDH uses the term "cannabis" to reflect updated terminology, the data sources referenced in this data brief use the term "marijuana" to refer to cannabis.

The Child & Youth Health Atlas is an interactive mapping tool used by the City of Hamilton, local school boards, and community partners to identify, track, prioritize, and take action on health issues in order to protect and improve the health and wellbeing of children and youth in Hamilton.

The Child & Youth Health Atlas provides an overview of the health and well-being of the school-age population using some key indicators such as social determinants of health (e.g., employment, income, education), mental health, oral health, sexual health, visual health, immunization, early childhood development, and health behaviours, such as healthy eating and physical activity.

This tool has been shared broadly with City departments and programs that work with families, children, and youth such as Ontario Works, recreation, children and home management, public health programs, and with our school board partners to develop shared priorities and actions to achieve a collective impact and realize the City’s vision to make Hamilton the best place to raise a child, and age successfully.

The Child & Youth Health Atlas uses data from a variety of sources which are updated every 1 to 5 years. All data and indicators are based on the old (pre-December 2018) City of Hamilton ward boundaries. Data will be refreshed and aligned with new ward boundaries in a future update.

Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is recognized as a critical tool for addressing sexuality and reproductive health challenges among adolescents. However, little is known about the broader impacts of CSE on populations beyond adolescents, such as schools, families, and communities. This study explores multi-level impacts of an innovative CSE program in Madagascar, which employs young adult CSE educators to teach a three-year curriculum in government middle schools across the country. The two-phased study embraced a participatory approach and qualitative Human-centered Design (HCD) methods. In phase 1, 90 school principals and administrators representing 45 schools participated in HCD workshops, which were held in six regional cities. Phase 2 took place one year later, which included 50 principals from partner schools, and focused on expanding and validating findings from phase 1. From the perspective of school principals and administrators, the results indicate several areas in wh..., Data were collected in June 2021 during seven workshops held in six regional cities in Madagascar. Principals and one other member of the school were invited from each of of the youth-led, non-governmental organization's 45 partner schools during the 2020-2021 school year. Principals had the discretion to invite second representatives, which was often the person who worked most closely with or alongside the CSE Educator. If the principal could not attend, then they assigned someone to attend in their place. In total, 90 school administrators participated, which included principals, vice principals, and school monitors representing 45 schools, both urban and rural. Workshops were facilitated by the organization's Monitoring and Evaluation Manager and lasted 3-4 hours. Workshops were held in the organization's regional offices or rented working space (i.e., not in schools), and discussions were facilitated in the local language, Malagasy.

The Performance Dashboard (formerly Performance Outcomes System) datasets are developed in line with legislative mandates to improve outcomes and inform decision making regarding individuals receiving Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS). The Dashboard gathers information relevant to specific mental health outcomes and provides useful summary reports for ongoing quality improvement and to support decision making. Please note: the Excel file Performance Dashboard has been discontinued and replaced with the SMHS Performance Dashboards found on Behavioral Health Reporting (ca.gov).

Data for cities, communities, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts were generated using a small area estimation method which combined the survey data with population benchmark data (2022 population estimates for Los Angeles County) and neighborhood characteristics data (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau, 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). Data for this indicator are based on caregiver report and defined according to the Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Screening Tool developed through the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative led by The Foundation for Accountability. The CSHCN screener includes three "definitional domains." These are: (1) dependency on prescription medications; (2) service use above that considered usual or routine; and (3) functional limitations.Children with special healthcare needs and their families or caregivers may be at increased risk for economic hardship due to higher healthcare costs and more time needed off from work or school to attend medical appointments. In particular, children who have a disability may also be at increased risk for experiencing lower levels of social and emotional wellbeing compared to their peers who do not have a disability.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

This release presents the first statistics from the Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS), using provisional submissions for January 2016. It comprises a small set of experimental analysis in support of the introduction of waiting time standards for mental health. It also includes data quality measures in line with our previous releases from provisional monthly data. A fuller report, including many of the measures previously produced from final monthly data in the Monthly MHLDS Report series, which this replaces, will be published in April 2016 from January final data. It will also include some initial analysis of information about children's and young people's services. The publication is likely to evolve as new analysis is produced from the dataset. The MHSDS not only supersedes and replaces the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Dataset but also the following standards: ISB 1072 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) data set ISB 1509 Mental Health Care Cluster ISB 1078 Mental Health Clustering Tool The changes incorporate requirements in support of Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP IAPT), elements of the Learning Disabilities Census (LDC) and elements of the Assuring Transformation (AT) Information Standard. One of the reasons for changing the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Dataset (MHLDDS) was to enable the dataset to support the monitoring of waiting times in mental health. Due to the extensive nature of the changes required to the underlying dataset it will take some time to re-create all the measures previously included in our monthly reports and some elements will change. Further details are provided in the Methodological Change paper which can be found in the resource links below. We will release the reports as experimental statistics until the characteristics of data flowed using the new data standard are understood.
