Description
Summary:Two studies of the Mental Health Statics Improvement Project (MHSIP) Family and Youth consumer satisfaction surveys factor structure and psychometrics were conducted. In study 1, the 2002–2006 Youth Services Survey for Families ( N  = 6,007) was administered to parents of children receiving services, and in study 2, the 2002–2004 Youth Services Survey ( N  = 1,718) was administered to children age 12–18 receiving services. Factor analyses across both studies found five factors that strongly supported the hypothesized scale domains of outcomes, satisfaction, cultural sensitivity, participation, and access. Scales based on these factors had good reliability with an average coefficient alpha of 0.85. The average convergent validity correlation between scale scores from the parent and child surveys was r  = 0.62. Overall, the results supported the structure, reliability, and validity of the surveys.
