The Mental and Behavioral Health (MBH) Capacity Project had a mission shared among 4 states to support MBH sustainability along the Gulf Coast. Integration of mental health into undersourced primary health clinics was an important goal of the project. The findings from the collaborative evaluation demonstrate long-term outcomes including the following: community has greater capacity and sustainability for quality health care; better informed and connected communities; and individuals are more informed, connected, and resilient. Lessons learned indicate that improved population health outcomes are possible even in low-income, high-stress regions through intentional and collaborative efforts integrating MBH into primary cares settings.
精神与行为健康(MBH)能力项目有一项由4个州共同承担的使命,即支持墨西哥湾沿岸地区MBH的可持续发展。将精神健康融入资源不足的基层医疗诊所是该项目的一个重要目标。合作评估的结果显示了长期成果,包括以下几点:社区在提供高质量医疗保健方面有更强的能力和可持续性;社区信息更灵通且联系更紧密;个人信息更灵通、联系更紧密且更具复原力。经验教训表明,通过有意为之的合作努力,将MBH融入基层医疗环境,即使在低收入、高压力地区也有可能改善人群健康状况。
