Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) 2009 Pilot Study: Executive Summary. Publication No. STA 09-160 MPC105808
Center for Collegiate Mental Health
The Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) represents a collaborative, multi-disciplinary effort combining the expertise of mental health treatment providers, psychological researchers, industry, and information sciences and technology. This report outlines a preliminary effort to describe the range of information on college student mental health that could be accessed via a comprehensive long-term strategy. As a result of nearly five years of unprecedented collaboration, a pilot test of the CCMH infrastructure produced data on over 28,000 students receiving mental health services at 66 institutions during the fall semester of 2008. Because it is not possible to discuss the entire range of findings in this summary, this report offers an overview of salient findings observable in the data and describes what has been accomplished during its development in the following areas: (1) Collaborative Data Standards (2006); (2) Technical Integration (2008); (3) Data Flow (2009); and Information Dissemination (2009). [This report was made possible by: Collaborative efforts of over 140 university and college counseling centers; Titanium Software, Inc.; Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors (AUCCCD); and Penn State University's Division of Student Affairs.]
