The literature on mental health needs assessment has come to view need as a multi-dimensional construct, which can not be adequately measured by a single method. Attention has focused on conducting convergent analyses which simultaneously apply several discreet approaches to the prediction of a criterion measure. This study compared two data sets as predictors of utilization of mental health services. The first set was composed of three county-level social indicator scales--poverty, social isolation, and social disequilibrium--obtained by factor analyzing 20 sociodemographic variables. The second data set measured the subjective component of need with six opinion scales derived from a mailed survey of key informants throughout Texas.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The literature on mental health needs assessment has come to view need as a multi-dimensional construct, which can not be adequately measured by a single method. Attention has focused on conducting convergent analyses which simultaneously apply several discreet approaches to the prediction of a criterion measure. This study compared two data sets as predictors of utilization of mental health services. The first set was composed of three county-level social indicator scales--poverty, social isolation, and social disequilibrium--obtained by factor analyzing 20 sociodemographic variables. The second data set measured the subjective component of need with six opinion scales derived from a mailed survey of key informants throughout Texas.
520 $a In a hierarchical series of stepwise multiple regression analyses, social indicators were found to be statistically significant predictor of community mental health service utilization, controlling for availability. The addition of key informant opinions did not improve the prediction of the criterion measure significantly.
520 $a Using inpatient psychiatric utilization as the dependent variable, social indicators did not produce a statistically significant incremental increase in prediction over availability alone; nor did key informants' opinions when entered in the next step of this hierarchical analysis. Availability alone was a significant predictor of both utilization measures. These findings fail to support the convergent use of social indicator and key informant opinion data, since the latter set of scales did not significantly increase the prediction of either of the dependent measures.
520 $a Three types of key informants were identified and their opinions were compared with those of the other survey respondents. Key informants' opinions varied with different roles, with consumers of services most likely to perceive unmet needs and service inadequacies, suggesting that who participates in the needs assessment process may be as important as whether there is citizen participation at all.
