Dear Secretary Cook:

      The 2000 Legislature passed Second Substitute House Bill No. 2663 (2SHB 2663), providing for the distribution of atypical antipsychotic medications to underserved populations who present a risk of harm to themselves and the community. Two organizations were awarded contracts to distribute the medication through a Department of Social and Health Services competitive bidding process: Harborview Mental Health Services in King County and Pierce County Regional Support Network.

      To assess the effectiveness of the Act, the Legislature mandated that the Washington State Institute for Public Policy (Institute) conduct a study to determine the following: the effect of the medications on employment, mental health services, and criminal recidivism outcomes; whether the Act increased access to the medications; and the uniformity of health care providers in prescribing the medications.

      At this point, sufficient time has not yet elapsed to address all the outcomes and issues identified by the Legislature, as program participants have less than a one-year follow-up period. The Institute will continue to collect data on participants for a full year and provide a final report to the Legislature in December 2002.

      This initial report provides descriptive statistics on three issues: the programs, the participants, and preliminary access and funding results. Program characteristics include enrollment and length of time in the program, while participant characteristics include demographic, mental health, and criminal history background. Preliminary results indicate that fewer persons are being served than expected, but those served are receiving needed medication management outpatient treatment. In addition, approximately half the participants obtained Medicaid or another funding source, consistent with the transitional funding mandate, while half left treatment without funding.

      If you have any questions about this report, please contact Polly Phipps at (360) 586-2792.


Sincerely,

STEVE AOS, Acting Director


      The Report from the Washington State Institute for Public Policy providing for the distribution of atypical antipsychotic medications to underserved populations who present a risk of harm to themselves and the community is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
