Amendments to the Community Mental Health Centers Act (Public Law 94-63) required community mental health centers (CMHCs) to provide such rape-related services as rape prevention and control, and to assure service availability to rape victims and their families. A questionnaire designed to assess how rape-related services are delivered was mailed to directors of 107 federally funded comprehensive CMHCs in a seven-state region. Fifty-five responses were received, indicating that rape-related services were offered by approximately two-thirds of the centers, 65% of which considered their rape-related services to be less comprehensive than other services. The budget for rape services was less than $10,000 in 80% of responding centers, representing less than 0.5% of the average CMHC budget. Services provided, primarily clinical, involved crisis intervention, counseling, and psychotherapy with rape victims and their families. Prevention and educational activities accounted for less than 25% of all rape-related services at most CMHCs. The results of the study question the impact of federal mandates on local mental health services.
《社区精神卫生中心法案》（公法94 - 63）的修正案要求社区精神卫生中心提供与强奸相关的服务，如预防和控制强奸，并确保为强奸受害者及其家人提供服务。一份旨在评估与强奸相关服务提供方式的调查问卷被邮寄给了一个七州地区107家由联邦资助的综合性社区精神卫生中心的主任。收到了55份回复，表明约三分之二的中心提供了与强奸相关的服务，其中65%认为其与强奸相关的服务不如其他服务全面。在80%的回复中心，强奸服务预算不到10,000美元，占社区精神卫生中心平均预算的不到0.5%。所提供的服务主要是临床服务，包括对强奸受害者及其家人进行危机干预、咨询和心理治疗。在大多数社区精神卫生中心，预防和教育活动占所有与强奸相关服务的比例不到25%。该研究结果对联邦指令对地方精神卫生服务的影响提出了质疑。
