Synthetic Estimation of the Distribution of Mentally Disabled Adults for Allocations to Ohio's Mental Health Board Areas.

Jarjoura, David; And Others

Evaluation and Program Planning, v16 n4 p305-13 Oct-Dec 1993

A synthetic method of estimating relative annual prevalence of severely mentally disabled (SMD) adults across Ohio's mental health board areas was evaluated. Indirect evidence of accuracy for the method, which relies on local catchment area data and local census data, is provided by comparison with actual SMD adult counts in federal programs. (SLD)
