Abstract

The reliability and validity of the Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program (MHSIP) Adult Consumer Survey were assessed in a statewide convenience sample of 459 persons with severe mental illness served through a public mental health system. Consistent with previous findings and the intent of its developers, three factors were identified that demonstrate good internal consistency, moderate test–retest reliability, and good convergent validity with consumer perceptions of other aspects of their care. The reliability and validity of the MHSIP Adult Consumer Survey documented in this study underscore its scientific and practical utility as an abbreviated tool for assessing access, quality and appropriateness, and outcome in mental health service systems.
