APPENDIX B

ORGANIZATIONAL SETTING

consistent goal of UFDS has been to identify treatment setting, a concept that is subject to a variety of definitions and interpretations. Definitions of treatment setting generally fall into three categories. A treatment setting may be an organizational setting (e.g., a hospital or mental health center). It may indicate a treatment philosophy (e.g., social model or therapeutic community). Finally, it may indicate living arrangements while in treatment (e.g., outpatient, residential, halfway house). These different definitions are driven by the many different needs of data users. For example, treatment setting may be used by payers to set rates, by treatment professionals to determine levels of care, or by planners to determine system needs.

UFDS planners have tried to incorporate data elements that permit analysis of treatment setting from different viewpoints. These data elements have changed as the questionnaire evolved over time. In general, prior to 1995, organizational setting was collected in a single environment/location/setting question. Treatment philosophy and client living arrangement were collected in client census matrices, which cross-tabulated modality/type of care with environment/facility location. In 1995, the client census matrices were simplified to reduce the reporting burden, and the environment/setting/ location question was expanded to recapture information lost from the matrices.

In the 1997 UFDS survey, treatment setting was collected in two related questions (Questions 6 and 6a; see Appendix A). Respondents were asked to select which one setting best described

the facility. Options included general hospital; psychiatric hospital; other specialized hospital; solo practice; group practice; school; jail, prison, or juvenile detention center; other criminal justice setting; and other setting. Facilities that selected 'Other setting' were asked to describe the facility more specifically, selecting all options that applied from a list that included: outpatient substance abuse treatment facility; community mental health center (CMHC); community health center; halfway house; therapeutic community; other residential substance abuse treatment facility; community or religious organization/agency providing a variety of social services; and other setting. This multiple listing, in conjunction with the counts of clients in treatment by type of care, was designed to permit flexibility in the definition and analysis of treatment setting.

Categories for the second part of the setting question, where multiple responses were permitted, were determined first on the basis of whether a larger organizational affiliation was indicated. Thus facilities indicating that they were set in a community mental health center, community health center, or community or religious agency/organization were categorized as such. Facilities not indicating such an affiliation were classified as Specialty substance abuse treatment facilities. These were further subdivided according to client living arrangement (outpatient, residential, or mixed outpatient and residential). Categories for the second question

Facilities indicating more than one larger affiliation (such as both CMHC and community health center) were classified as Mixed/Unknown. This category also included the few facilities that indicated that they were schools in the first question.

Appendix Table 1 provides counts of the multiple responses, and indicates the category to which facilities were assigned for this report.
