Carol Carstens, PhD, Scott Wingenfeld, MPA, Kwok Tam, MSocSciOhio Department of Mental Health Office of Research & Evaluation
First Meeting on Patient Reported Outcomes in Mental Health
September 30, 2012 Washington DC

ABSTRACTObjective: To look at the relationship between patient self-reported experience of care and measures of clinical care.
Data Source/Collection: Data were collected in a mail survey of minority consumers (N = 311).
Design/Methods: In this cross-sectional study, Likert-type scales were used to collect information on client perception of providers’ cultural competence and self-report measures of functioning, quality of life, and social connectedness. Hierarchical regression was used to examine the relationship between cultural competence and the independent variables.
Principal Findings: After controlling for subject-related factors, consumer perception of provider cultural competence was significantly related to self-reported outcome measures.
Conclusions: Cultural competence is a specific approach to patient centered care that can improve the outcomes of mental health services.

THE KNOWLEDGE BASE
Very little research looks at the relationship between
provider’s cultural competence & the patient’s symptoms, functioning or social support (Griner & Smith, 2006)
evaluates cultural competence from the consumer perspective (Cornelius et al, 2004)

CBCC SURVEY LEADING QUESTION
Some people belong to minority groups because their race, country of origin, history, language, religion, or sexual orientation is different than most people. Do you consider yourself a cultural, racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual minority group member?
Yes No
If you answered YES, what is your minority group? (Specify cultural, racial, ethnic, religious and/or sexual identity)______________________

MINORITY STATUS
About 37% of the sample who were people of color or hispanic ethnicity said No to the question about minority status. The US is becoming more racially and
ethnically diverse. Many people in the sample do not appear
to see themselves as “other” or set apart from mainstream society because of race or ethnicity.
