The Ohio Department of Mental Health implemented a statewide, standardized outcome measurement system for mental health clients in 2003. Currently, all Montgomery County ADAMHS Board funded mental health treatment providers are participating in the Ohio Mental Health Consumer Outcomes System. Youth who are receiving mental health services are asked a number of questions, including one set of questions that gauges how their "problems might get in the way of your ability to do everyday activities." (These activities include getting along with friends and family, taking care of personal health and grooming, participating in school and recreational activities, etc.) This indicator tracks the proportion of those youth who, during the indicated state fiscal year, reported an overall improvement in their level of functioning after six months of treatment. (The state fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30 and is named for the calendar year in which it ends.)
