We propose a Research Methods Core (RMC) to develop, enhance, and provide state-of-the-art methodological expertise to all research projects affiliated with the Center for Research to Improve Mental Health Care in the Social Services (C-RIMSS). The RMC proposes to advance the qualitative, statistical, and organizational methods used by mental health services researchers, and to develop new quality indicators and methods to assess stakeholder preferences for mental health services. Aims will be advanced by two methods units, three methods consultation teams, and four methods projects. The two methods units -- for Qualitative Methods and Statistical Analysis -- will provide substantial, ongoing, state of the art support to C-RIMSS investigators by scientific experts at Washington University in St. Louis and nationally. The three consultation methods teams will be led by national methods experts outside of St. Louis. The Stakeholder Preferences Methods Team will help C-RIMSS investigators best capture stakeholder preferences for quality care dimensions, services, interventions, and improvements. The Quality Indicators Team will help C-RIMSS investigators develop indicators of quality care that are applicable across sectors. The Organizational Research Methods Team will help C-RIMSS investigators navigate the political, methodological and statistical complexities of conducting research in organizations. The Core will support four projects related to the RMC aims. An ethnographic study of the cultural divide between social service and mental health sectors of care will inform C-RIMSS efforts to build quality improvement interventions that bridge this divide. A pilot project will test stakeholder preference methods among seniors in the community long term care sector that can be applied to other service sectors. A measure of organizational receptivity to evidence based practices will be developed for use in quality improvement efforts, and our methods experts will characterize the unique challenges of building quality indicators for mental health care in social service settings. Two of these projects will lead to applications for further funding.

我们建议设立一个研究方法核心(RMC)，以发展、加强和提供最先进的方法学专业知识给所有附属于改善社会服务中的精神卫生保健研究中心(C-RIMSS)的研究项目。RMC建议推进精神卫生服务研究人员使用的定性、统计和组织方法，并开发新的质量指标和方法来评估利益相关者对精神卫生服务的偏好。目标将由两个方法单元，三个方法提出 咨询团队和四个方法项目。这两个方法单位--定性方法和统计分析--将由圣路易斯华盛顿大学的科学专家和全国范围内的科学专家为C-RIMSS调查人员提供大量、持续的、最先进的支持。三个咨询方法小组将由圣路易斯以外的国家方法专家领导。利益相关者偏好方法团队将帮助C-RIMSS调查人员最好地获取利益相关者对高质量护理维度、服务、干预和改进的偏好。质量指标团队将帮助C-RIMSS调查人员制定适用于各部门的质量护理指标。组织研究方法团队将提供帮助 C-RIMSS调查人员驾驭在组织中进行研究的政治、方法和统计复杂性。该核心将支持与区域MC目标有关的四个项目。对社会服务和心理健康护理部门之间的文化鸿沟进行的民族志研究将有助于C-RIMSS努力建立弥合这一鸿沟的质量改进干预措施。一个试点项目将在社区长期护理部门的老年人中测试利益攸关方偏好方法，这些方法可以应用于其他服务部门。将开发一种衡量组织对基于证据的实践的接受度的方法，用于质量 我们的方法专家将描述在社会服务环境中为精神卫生保健建立质量指标所面临的独特挑战。其中两个项目将导致申请进一步的资金。
