Type and Scope of services to be performed:
According to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, over 15 percent of Denver adults have experienced four or more adverse childhood events, which are associated with increases in risk for behavioral health conditions, indicating many Denver residents may want services at some point. Stigma has been mentioned as a barrier to care in local focus groups and conversations with people with behavioral health conditions. Furthermore, the Behavioral Health Literacy and Community Involvement Working Group that assisted in the development of Road to Wellness: A Strategic Framework to Improve Behavioral Health in Denver, indicated that “stigma remains a major barrier in accessing behavioral health treatment.” A campaign addressing stigma is included in the Opioid Response Strategic Plan as a strategy to Prevent Substance (Mis)use, and aligns with Caring for Denver’s focus on youth, community-centered connections, care provision, and alternatives to jail. With the onset of the COVID-19 virus, the need for behavioral health services are increasing within our community and is expected to grow exponentially.
The Denver Department of Public Health and Environment (DDPHE) has selected Analytics and Insights Matter (AIM) through a competitive request for proposal process to design and implement a stigma-reduction campaign via a two-year contract starting January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. The goal is to reduce stigma related to behavioral health conditions as stigma acts as a barrier to early intervention and access to behavioral health treatment and support. The populations of focus fall into five overlapping sub-groups of individuals: people with mental health conditions, people with substance use disorders, people who use substances without a diagnosis, people who have attempted suicide, and people who have experienced suicidal ideation. The project objectives are to:
• reduce stigma as a barrier to accessing services;
• measure baseline knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs that result in stigma associated with behavioral health conditions in Denver; and
• change knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs in Denver to increase empathetic responses and decrease aversive responses to behavioral health conditions.
Analytics and Insights Matter, LLC will conduct a formative assessment, develop anti-stigma messages, disseminate messages via a campaign, and evaluate the impact of anti-stigma messages on knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of Denver residents. The contract covers for personnel, supplies and operating, sub-contractors, and indirect costs.
