CONSUMER SATISFACTION OUTCOMES REPORT FOR
NOVEMBER 2018 SURVEY PERIOD
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MARCH 2020
Jonathan E. Sherin, M.D., Ph.D Director
The Los Angeles County - Department of Mental Health (DMH) conducts consumer satisfaction surveys in Fall and Spring. Consumers receiving services in randomly-selected outpatient clinics complete one of four versions of the Consumer Perception Survey (CPS): Adult (ages 18 to 59), Older Adult (ages 60 and up), Youth (ages 13 to 17) and Families (ages 0 to 17).
General Satisfaction Outcomes
Out of 12,460 surveys returned during the Fall 2018 survey period, most came from Adults (52.1%), followed by Families (28.8%), Youth (13.7%), and Older Adults (5.4%). Most surveys were completed in English or Spanish and respondents indicated high satisfaction with language availability. Over 96% of respondents reported receiving services in their preferred language and having written information available in their preferred language.
CPS survey items correspond to eight domains of satisfaction: Overall Satisfaction, General Satisfaction, Perception of Access, Perception of Quality and Appropriateness/Cultural Sensitivity, Perception of Participation in Treatment Planning, Perception of Outcomes, Perception of Functioning, Perception of Social Connectedness. Scores are on a Likert scale of 1 to 5 (Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree) with 5 representing the highest score.
For Fall 2018, Families and Youth had the highest scores for the Cultural Sensitivity domain, at 4.5 and 4.4 out of 5, respectively. Adults had the highest scores for Access, Quality & Appropriateness, and Participation in Treatment Planning, all at 4.3 out of 5. Older Adults had the highest score for the General Satisfaction domain at 4.5 out of 5.
Trends for the last three survey periods (November 2017, May 2018, November 2018) reveal that domain means have been relatively steady for all age groups. The domains that have fluctuated the most over time differ by age group and may relate to unique issues.
For Fall 2018, the percent of DMH respondents scoring 3.5 or above was higher than the State and U.S. averages for all domains for Families. For Adults, this percent was higher than State averages on all domains except for General Satisfaction and Perception of Functioning, which were slightly below benchmarks. For U.S., benchmarks, these two domains as well as the Perception of Outcomes percentage were higher than the Los Angeles county.
Performance Outcomes
Seven items considered to be particularly important for Los Angeles County were selected from each version by a group of stakeholders as performance outcomes. These items demonstrated similar patterns to the General Satisfaction outcomes. The highest percentage of Families agreed or strongly agreed with the cultural sensitivity item and the highest percentage of Youth with the location item. Adults, and Older Adults agreed or strongly agreed that services were available at convenient times. The lowest percentage that agreed or strongly agreed for all age groups was for the functioning item rela1ted to doing better in school and/or work, indicating this is an area for improvement.

Part 1. General Satisfaction Outcomes
Background
Consumer Perception Surveys (CPS) are an important source of information regarding consumer/family satisfaction with their mental health services and perceived outcomes. This report presents CPS data from Fall 2018. Surveys were administered at outpatient and day treatment programs in the Department of Mental Health (DMH) in the eight Service Areas (SA) of Los Angeles County from November 5, 2018 through November 9, 2018. These surveys are collected throughout California and the United States (U.S.) during the same survey period and are used to perform continuous quality improvement (CQI).
Part I of this report summarizes the results of the CPS data collected from consumers/families who received face-to-face mental health care services in outpatient and day treatment programs during the Fall 2018 survey period. CPS forms are distributed by age group and are analyzed by survey type (Table 1). This report also compares the findings across different SAs and consumer demographics.

The items on each survey version correspond to higher level domains of satisfaction, which differ slightly by survey type (Table 2). A description of the specific items included in each domain by survey version is listed below in Table 3. A higher mean score for the subscale domain reflects a higher consumer perception of care. Mean scores and percentage of consumers scoring 3.5 or above are reported as well as State and U.S. benchmarks.
