Abstract
To address the many challenges in treating behavioral health in rural areas, the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) in the Health Resources and Services Administration established the Evidence-Based Tele-Behavioral Health Network Program in 2018, funding 14 grantees, and the Substance Abuse Treatment Telehealth Network Grant Program in 2017, funding 3 grantees. Concurrently, the Rural Telehealth Research Center worked cooperatively with FORHP to establish data collection protocols and tools on a set of measures that could be used for a cross-grantee evaluation of behavioral health services during their funding periods. This brief details multi-project work to identify the standardized set of measures appropriate to behavioral health, create an Excel-based tool, and begin to systematically collect data from the grantees.
