Baker Act Reporting Center FY18/19 Annual Report 1

I. Introduction

Chapter 394, Florida Statutes (F.S.), The Florida Mental Health Act, also known as the “Baker Act,” includes several data reporting requirements. Specifics of data submission requirements are described in Florida Administrative Code 65E-5, which includes directing providers to send forms to the Baker Act Reporting Center at the University of South Florida. For the dates addressed in this report, forms were required to be submitted to the Baker Act Reporting Center within one working day after the person arrived at the receiving facility (Section 394.463 F.S.). Forms submitted to the Baker Act Reporting Center include:

Form1 Form Name The underlined text below and elsewhere in this report indicates a hyperlink to a webpage. The links below will bring you to each form on the Department’s web page. Control+Click to go to the web page.

CF-MH 3052a Report of Law Enforcement Officer Initiating Involuntary Examination

CF-MH 3052b Certificate of Professional Initiating Involuntary Examination

CF-MH 3001 Ex Parte Order for Involuntary Examination

The Cover Sheet (CF-MH 3118) systematically reports demographic and provider information that corresponds to any of the forms (CF-MH3052a, CF-MH3052b, and CF-MH3001) listed above.

Designated Baker Act receiving facilities submit a Cover Sheet (CF-MH 3118) on top of each initiation form and Ex Parte Order for Involuntary Examination (CF-MH 3052a, CF-MH 3052b, and CF-MH 3001 or its equivalent). Links to the statute, administrative code, forms, and other materials can be found on The Department of Children and Families (Department) Crisis Services – Baker Act web page.

Section 394.463(2)(e) F.S., requires the Department of Children and Families (the Department) to submit an annual report to the President of the Florida Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the minority leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives. This annual report is published on the Department’s website.

Staff at the Baker Act Reporting Center at the University of South Florida produced this report under contract LH292 with the Department. Although this is considered the statutorily required annual report for FY18/19, additional years of data were used for analyses. Staff at the Baker Act Reporting Center can be reached at 813-974-1010 or [email protected]. Additional information and resources are available at https://www.usf.edu/cbcs/baker-act/. Suggestions for additions or changes to the structure and content of future annual reports may be addressed to Annette Christy, Director, Baker Act Reporting Center ([email protected]). Additional results may be released in between annual reports. Readers of this report are encouraged to periodically check the Baker Act Reporting Center website for reports and updates.

This report includes links to numerous resources focused on involuntary assessment/treatment. Some information about suicide prevention is included to add context to this report. This includes the Policy Surveillance Project2 at the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University (go to topics3, choose “mental health and mental disorders,” then “short-term emergency commitment laws4”). Involuntary (Baker Act) examinations can be more broadly categorized as short-term emergency commitments. This Policy Surveillance Project site will allow you to compare Florida’s law for involuntary (Baker Act) examinations to the equivalent legal mechanisms in other states.

II. Report Highlights

• There were 210,992 involuntary (Baker Act) examinations in Fiscal Year 2018/2019. The FiscalYear (FY) in Florida runs from July 1 through June 30th.

• From FY13/14 to FY18/19, statewide involuntary examinations increased 19.20% for all ages,24.80% for children (< 18), 15.45% for young adults (18-24), and 14.00% for older adults. FromFY17/18 to FY18/19, statewide involuntary examinations increased 2.53% for all ages, 5.00% forchildren, 1.23% for young adults (18-24), and 1.34% for older adults.

• Three-quarters (73.33%) of involuntary examinations in FY18/19 were for adults aged 18through 64, with 17.95% for children, and 7.33% for people 65 and older. [Age was unknownfor 1.39%.]

• Half (51.34%) of involuntary examinations were initiated by law enforcement, with 46.45%initiated by professional certificate, and 2.22% initiated via ex parte order.

• Physicians who are not psychiatrists (65.54%) were the most common health professional toinitiate involuntary examinations, followed by licensed mental health counselors (10.36%),psychiatrists (9.13%), licensed clinical social workers (5.52%), psychiatric nurses5 (2.17%),psychologists (1.34%), physician assistants (1.25%), and licensed marriage and family therapists(< 1%). Children were more likely than other age groups to have an involuntary examinationinitiated by licensed mental health counselors and licensed clinical social workers.

• More than half (54.58%) of involuntary examinations in FY18/19 were received at privatelyfunded receiving facilities, with 45.42% at publicly funded receiving facilities. Children were theleast likely to be received at a private receiving facility for involuntary examinations (42.35%),followed by people 18-24 (52.11%) and 25-64 (56.09%). Over three quarters (76.86%) ofinvoluntary examinations of older adults (65+) were received at private receiving facilities.

• Over half (54.03%) of involuntary examinations were based on evidence of harm only. Almostone-third (32.58%) were based on both harm and self-neglect. Nearly ten percent (9.99%) werebased on evidence of self-neglect only. Self-neglect only (no harm) was more common withincreased age. [Evidence type was not reported for 3.41%.]

• Harm can be further broken down into harm to self and/or harm to others. More than half(57.83%) of all involuntary examinations were based on evidence of harm to self only. One infive (21.73%) were based on both harm to self and harm to others. Harm to others only was theevidence type for 5.63% of all involuntary examinations.

• More than three-quarters (79.56%) of involuntary examinations were based on evidence ofharm to self (either by itself, or in combination with harm to others and/or self-neglect). Self-harm includes suicidal ideation and/or suicide attempts. However, it is important to understandthat self-harm is not synonymous with suicide. Self-harm can also include behaviors such ascutting and bodily harm that do not have suicidal intent.

5 “Psychiatric nurse” means an advanced practice registered nurse licensed under s. 464.012 who has a master’s or doctoral degree in psychiatric nursing, holds a national advanced practice certification as a psychiatric mental health advanced practice nurse, and has 2 years of post-master’s clinical experience under the supervision of a physician.


III. Involuntary Examinations

A. Technical Notes

The Baker Act data analyzed for this report are from involuntary examination initiation forms received by the Baker Act Reporting Center. These forms are contained in Florida rule (F.A.C. 65E.5.280).6

Not every involuntary examination initiated results in an admission to a Baker Act receiving facility. The data in this report are of involuntary examinations, they are not data on admissions. They are not counts of voluntary examinations. The counts in this report are only for involuntary examinations. They are not counts of people.

The data do not include information on what occurred after the initial involuntary examination. For example, the data do not reveal if the person was admitted, how long individuals stayed at the facility, whether they remained on an involuntary or voluntary basis, or whether the involuntary (Baker Act)

examination was converted to a Marchman Act assessment.7

Redaction: Cell sizes smaller than 25 Baker Act examinations were redacted from this report. The purpose of this redaction is to prevent identification of people. Those interested in more information about the Baker Act Reporting Center’s approach to redaction may contact Annette Christy, Center Director, to discuss ([email protected]).

Terminology:

• The term “Department” is referring to the Florida Department of Children and Families or DCF.

• Involuntary examinations occur at Baker Act receiving facilities.

o Designated receiving facilities includes hospitals licensed under 395 F.S., and CrisisStabilization Units (CSUs), licensed under 394 F.S.

o The Department designates all Baker Act receiving facilities regardless of type.

o CSUs are mainly residential units of community mental health centers and receiveDepartment funds for Baker Act related services.

o CSUs designated for children are referred to as Children’s Crisis Stabilization Units(CCSUs). This means that while all CSUs/CCSUs are Baker Act receiving facilities, not allBaker Act receiving facilities are CSUs or CCSUs.

o Receiving facilities that receive funding from the Department are referred to in thisreport as “public,” while facilities that do not receive Department funding are referredto as “private.”

Additional technical notes are contained in Appendix A of this report that starts on page 94.

6 Revised forms went into effect on 5/4/2020 as shown on the web page for F.A.C. 65.E-5.280: https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ruleno.asp?id=65E-5.280

7 It is also possible that a major disaster or incident may impact the use of involuntary examination. For example, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting (February 2018) and Hurricane Michael (Florida landfall in October 2018). Additional analyses to address the impact of these events on involuntary examinations are underway.

8 The population statistics used to compute involuntary examinations rates per 100,000 are age specific. For example, the denominators used to compute the rates per 100,000 for children were for children 5 through 17, for young adults for the population 18 through 24, and for older adults for the population 65 and older. The age range 5 through 17 was used for children because including the population of children from birth through age 4 (who are not typically subject to involuntary examination) would incorrectly lower the rate per 100,000 for children.


Changes in Population vs. Changes in Volume of Involuntary Examinations: Because population estimates for fiscal years were not available, population increases were calculated for the calendar years closest to the fiscal years reported. Population estimates were obtained from the Office of Economic and Demographic Research.9 The increase in the number of involuntary examinations was greater than the Florida population increase for all ages and the three age groups from FY 08/09 to FY 18/19 (see columns A and B in Table 2). Over the last fiscal year (FY 17/18 to FY 18/19) involuntary examination increases exceeded population increases, except for older adults from for FY17/18 to FY18/19 (see Columns C and D in Table 2).

The increase over time for all three age groups is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows counts for children, young adults, and older adults, but does not show the counts for all ages. This allows the scale of Figure 2 to be from 0 to 40,000, which allows us to see the pattern of increase in the age groups that is not possible in Figure 1 given the scale that is needed to show the count for all ages.

Counts of involuntary examinations by age group are presented in Table 3. The percentage of total examinations and the percentage within each age group are both included. For example, involuntary examinations for older adults aged 65 to 74 accounted for 4.67% of all involuntary examinations during the fiscal year and 63.73% of involuntary examinations for older adults (65+). [Less than 2% of involuntary examination were missing the date of birth necessary to compute age. This is why the total count of involuntary examinations from Table 3 (208,053) is slightly less than the total number of involuntary exams for the fiscal year (210,992)]

Initiation Type, Evidence Type, and Harm Type: Involuntary examinations may be initiated by law enforcement, certain health professionals, and via ex parte order (see Figure 3). Types of health professionals that initiated involuntary examinations are shown in Table 4. There must be evidence of harm, neglect, or both harm and neglect (see Figure 4). Harm is further described as being to self, others, or both self and others (see Figure 5).

Initiation Type: 51.34% of the involuntary examinations in FY18/19 were initiated by law enforcement, 46.45% initiated by professional certificate and 2.22% initiated via ex parte order.

Harm Type: Harm can be further broken down into harm to self and/or harm to others. The percentage of involuntary examinations that had harm as an evidence type (either harm only or harm and neglect) by harm type is shown in Figure 5. More than three quarters (67.89%) of involuntary examinations with harm as an evidence type were based on evidence of harm to self only. One quarter (25.51%) of involuntary examinations with harm as an evidence type were based on both harm to self and harm to others. Harm to others only was the evidence upon which 6.61% of involuntary examinations with harm as an evidence type were initiated. The most striking aspect of Figure 5 is how similar the proportions are across age groups.

C. Information About Suicide

There is sometimes interest in learning about the correlation of death by suicide, suicide attempts, suicidal ideation and risk for suicide to involuntary examinations. While such a correlational analysis is beyond the scope of this report, information about suicide is presented here to provide context. The involuntary examination initiation forms from which we enter data do not contain categorical data elements to indicate if a person attempted suicide or experienced suicidal ideation associated with the initiation of their involuntary examination. More than three-quarters (79.56%) of involuntary examinations were based on evidence of harm to self (either by itself, or in combination with harm to others and/or self-neglect). Self-harm includes suicidal thoughts (also referred to as suicidal ideation) and suicide attempts. However, it is important to understand that self-harm (including behaviors such as cutting and bodily harm) is not synonymous with suicide.

Information about death by suicide rates per 100,000 population for the US and Florida are presented below. Florida county specific suicide rates start on page 25. View Appendix B for additional information about suicide prevention, the Statewide Office for Suicide Prevention (SOSP) and the Suicide Prevention Coordinating Council. If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 right away.

Florida: From 2017-2019 suicide was the 8th leading cause of death in Florida following heart disease, cancer, unintentional injury, stroke, chronic lower respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer’s disease.10 In 2019, suicide was ranked among the 5th leading causes of death for the following age ranges: age 5-14 (3rd leading cause of death), 15-24 (3rd), 25-34 (2nd), 34-44 (4th), and 45-54 (4th).11 Florida age adjusted suicide rates over 5 years are shown in Figure 6.12

Figure 6: Age Adjusted Suicide Rates Per 100,000 Population for the US and Florida

National:13 The following statistics are for 2018. The US age-adjusted rate of suicide per 100,000 population was 14.2. Florida ranked 22nd for its suicide rate among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The five jurisdictions with the highest age adjusted rate of suicide were Wyoming (25.2), New Mexico (25.0), Montana (24.9), Alaska (24.6), and Idaho (23.9), with the lowest suicide rates in the District of Columbia (7.5), New Jersey (8.3), New York (8.3), Rhode Island (9.5), and Massachusetts (9.9). The American Foundation of Suicide Prevention provides a summary of statistics that may be of interest to readers of this report.14

D. Involuntary Examinations: Provider Level Analyses

Counts of involuntary examinations in FY17/18 and 18/19 for each receiving facility are reported in Table 5. Receiving facilities are listed by the Department region, then alphabetically by facility county within each Department region, then in descending order by number of involuntary examinations. The corresponding Managing Entities are also included. The Managing Entities contract with behavioral health providers, including designated receiving facilities, to provide behavioral health services. Also reported is the percent change in involuntary examinations from FY17/18 to FY18/19.

There are several reasons why the number of involuntary examinations at a receiving facility increase or decrease over time. Change over time in the use of Baker Act examination is a complicated issue. Those wanting to make conclusions about this change over time are encouraged to contact the Baker Act Reporting Center to discuss possible factors related to change over time ([email protected]).

A total row is provided in Table 5 for each of the Department’s regions. These totals for FY 18/19 sum to 210,800. This is because the receiving facility for 192 (0.09%) involuntary examinations could not be identified. It is also important to understand that Table 5 is the only presentation of counts by region that rely on the county of the receiving facility. The rest of this report uses the county of residence to categorize by county. County categorizations are then used to group within the Department’s regions, Judicial Circuits, and Managing Entity areas. The totals by Department region differ slightly between Table 5 and Table 6, because Table 5 used county of the receiving facility while Table 6 used county of residence.

Public and Private Baker Act Receiving Facilities: The distribution of involuntary examinations at public and private receiving facilities is shown in Figure 7. “Public” in this context means the receiving facility received funds from the Department for Baker Act examination related services. These public facilities are under contract with a Managing Entity. It is important to note that public receiving facilities may also receive funding through Medicaid, private insurance, or county governments in addition to Department funds. “Private” receiving facilities did not receive funds from the Department and most are not under contact with a Managing Entity.

Children (57.66%) are more likely to have involuntary examination conducted at public receiving facilities as compared to young adults (18-24) (public = 47.89%), adults under 65 (public = 43.91%), and older adults (65+) (public = 23.14%). The meaningful percentage of involuntary examinations conducted at privately funded receiving facilities means that funding and policy as it relates to both privately funded and publicly funded receiving facilities are essential to understand the use of involuntary examinations.

Figure 7: Involuntary Examinations at Public and Private Baker Act Receiving Facilities

Some Baker Act receiving facilities are owned by corporate entities. One in six (16.08%) involuntary

examinations in FY18/19 were received in Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) owned Baker Act

receiving facilities, with 8.69% at Universal Health Services (UHS) run facilities, 6.56% at BayCare Health

Systems owned facilities, 4.04% at Tenet Healthcare facilities, 2.54% at Baptist Hospital Corporation

facilities, and 2.18% at Acadia Healthcare facilities.

E. Involuntary Examinations: Geographic Area Reporting

Data for FY 18/19 were analyzed for each of Florida’s 20 judicial circuits16, six Department of Children and Families regions17, and seven Managing Entity areas18. County of residence, as reported by Baker Act receiving facilities on the Cover Sheet, was used to categorize by county.

Caution should be applied when interpreting changes for counties with smaller populations and fewer involuntary examinations. “Changes in small numbers can lead to large, but meaningless, increases or decreases to percent change.”19 This is because small changes in numbers of involuntary examinations can account for larger percentages of change.

Certain metrics for each county are provided on the county specific pages that follow. Readers of this report who want to learn more about metrics at the county level may be interested in:

F. Involuntary Examinations: County Specific Analyses

Data for FY 18/19 were analyzed for each of Florida’s 67 Counties. County of residence, as reported by Baker Act receiving facilities on the Cover Sheet, was used to categorize by county. County of residence was not known for 10,991 (5.17%) involuntary examinations. These involuntary examinations are counted in the statewide total (210,992), but could not be categorized into counties.24

Percentages in Tables B and C of the county pages are computed horizontally such that they indicate for residents of each area, the percentage of age and initiation type. For example, Alachua County residents had 2,221 involuntary examinations in FY18/19, with 38.90% initiated by law enforcement, 59.25% by professional certificate, and 1.85% by ex parte order.

Please Note:

• Some percentages do not sum to 100% due to rounding.

• Some counties do not have a receiving facility. This means that people are brought to Baker Actreceiving facilities in other counties. It is important to keep this in mind when reading results atthe county level.

• Redaction: Baker Act examination counts below 25 and their associated rates and percentageswere redacted in this report. Cells with counts less than 25 will report a “< 25,” with theassociated percentage and rate containing “***” in those cells.

• Population statistics were obtained from The Office of Economic and Demographic Research(EDR) of the Florida Legislature. EDR provides updates to population statistics several times eachyear. This report used the June 2019 EDR estimates.

• Select community characteristics obtained from Florida Health Charts are provided for each county.

• The maps included on the County pages were created by the U.S. Geological Survey and areconsidered public domain. They were obtained from the county pages that are part of theWikipedia: Wiki Project U.S. Counties/County Lists.

• Following is information about interpreting Table B in the county specific tables starting on page 25.

• The “% Change in Exams for All Ages 2018/2019” may be compared to the “% Change inPopulation All Ages to 2018” to determine how much of the change in involuntaryexaminations can be accounted for by population change. Following are a few examples:

o Involuntary examinations for Hillsborough County residents increased 13.2% from FY17/18to FY18/19, while the population increased by approximately 2.9% during that time.

o Involuntary examinations for residents of Duval County increased 5.36% from FY17/18 toFY18/19, while the population increased approximately 1.88% during that time.

o Involuntary examinations for Bradford County residents decreased 5.22% from FY14/15to FY18/19, while the population increased approximately 2.78% during that same time.

o Involuntary examinations for Jackson County residents decreased 19.9% from FY16/17 toFY18/19, while the population had almost no change (increase of 0.68%).

• Data on Deaths by Suicide: The one-page statewide summary (p. 24) and one-page county summarypages (starting on page 25) contain information about rates of suicide per 100,000 population. Thecrude rates of suicide are reported on these county specific pages because age adjusted rates ofsuicide are not available for specific age ranges. Crude rates are typically slightly higher than ageadjusted rates.

24The zip code of residence reported on the Cover Sheet was used to determine the county of residence for forms that contained a zip code of residence but not a county of residence. [This was possible, except in the very few Florida zip codes that span more than one county.]

Appendix A: Additional Technical Notes

The Baker Act data analyzed for this report are from involuntary examination initiation forms received by the Baker Act Reporting Center. Some individuals for whom forms were received were never admitted to the receiving facility because an examination by a physician or psychologist performed prior to admission determined they did not meet admission criteria. The data also do not include information on what occurred after the initial examination. For example, the data do not reveal how long individuals stayed at the facility, whether they remained on an involuntary or voluntary basis, or whether the involuntary (Baker Act) examination was converted to a Marchman Act assessment.

Because not everyone who has an involuntary examination initiated is admitted to a Baker Act receiving facility, the data in this report are of involuntary examinations, they are not data on admissions. They are not counts of voluntary examinations. They are counts for involuntary examinations.

Redaction: Cell sizes smaller than 25 were redacted from this report. This redaction is done to prevent identification of people. Those interested in more information about the Baker Act Reporting Center’s approach to redaction may contact Annette Christy, Center Director, to discuss ([email protected]).

Percent Change: Percent change is reported throughout this report. This is a helpful metric that can put counts of involuntary examinations into context. However, certain issues with using percent change need to be considered. Percent change needs to be interpreted carefully when the change is between small numbers. For example, an increase in County A from 4 to 8 is a 100% increase, just as a change in County B from 1,000 to 2,000 is a 100% increase. The challenge is to interpret what importance we should give this percent change in the decisions we make about whether there is a problem to be addressed and how to address it. What these counts represent out of the total population needs to also be considered. For example, County A has a population of 50,000. Four equals a rate of 8 per 100,000, while 8 equals a rate of 16 per 100,000 for County A. County B has a population of 500,000. This means that 1,000 equals a rate of 200 per 100,000 and 2,000 equals a rate of 400 per 100,000. The rate in County B is much higher than the rate in County A even though the percent increase is the same. Some counties may have large percentages of change, but because their counts were low in relation to other counties to begin with the increase over time may still mean that their rate per 100,000 is still smaller relative to other counties.

Handling Zeros in Percent Change Calculations: Cells in tables with an indeterminant percent changes include the infinity symbol (∞). There are nuances to how percent change is computed and reported when one of the numbers in the computation is zero. There is ongoing debate on this issue that is beyond the scope of this report to fully articulate. There is not consensus of how this should be handled. Construing any change from zero as a 100% change is problematic. In this scenario, a change from 0 to 1 would be a 100% change, a change from 0 to 6.1 would be a 100% change, and a change from 0 to 1,500 would be a 100% change, and so on. A more logical approach is to say that a change from 0 to some other number is infinity, the number of which is indeterminant. This is not a satisfying answer in that this does not provide us with a percent change. We do not feel it is correct to say that a percent change is not applicable (N/A) when we report out percent change that involved zeros. It is applicable. It is just that it is not knowable.

Context Matters: What is being measured matters. Let’s say it is readmissions to a state hospital over a three-year period that we are measuring. An increase from 8 to 16 may have meaning. But if we are measuring, for example, deaths by suicide for 12 to 14-year-old youth, this same 100% increase from 8 to 16 may be meaningful in a different way, and perhaps more concerning. It matters what we are measuring. What is occurring at the state level and in the community of focus as it relates to what is being measured



needs to be considered. Was there some sort of catastrophic event, such as a hurricane or a severe economic downturn? How do the characteristics of the community of focus impact what you are measuring, and perhaps in a different way to other communities to which you are comparing? Is access to service different between the two communities you are comparing, such as access to Baker Act receiving facilities? The point here is that the percent change is just a number. Figuring out what it means and how to compare it between communities requires learning more about those communities. The numbers in this report are only a start to understanding relevant issues.

We have included some metrics in the county specific pages to describe communities to provide the readers of this report with some context. A full analysis of the impact of these metrics is beyond the scope of this report and we are not necessarily suggesting that they all impact the use of involuntary examination. But we feel that knowing about these metrics is helpful to provide context.

Terminology: Involuntary examinations occur at designated receiving facilities. Receiving facilities may include hospitals (licensed under 395 F.S.) and Crisis Stabilization Units (licensed under 394 F.S.). The Department designates all Baker Act receiving facilities regardless of type. Some receiving facilities are called Crisis Stabilization Units (CSUs). CSUs are usually residential units of community mental health centers and receive Department funds for Baker Act services. CSUs designated for children are referred to as Children’s Crisis Stabilization Units (CCSUs). This means that while all CSUs/CCSUs are Baker Act receiving facilities, not all Baker Act receiving facilities are CSUs. The abbreviations CSU and CCSU are used throughout this report. Receiving facilities that are provided funds from the Department are referred to later in this report as “public,” while those not receiving such funds are referred to as “private.” When the phrase “The Department” is used in this report, it is referring to the Florida Department of Children and Families.

All analyses in this report used the County of Residence.

There are complex reasons for the lower numbers of involuntary examinations in some areas and higher numbers in other areas. Readers of this report are urged to consider these factors when interpreting the results. For example, the distribution of Baker Act receiving facilities statewide is not uniform. About half of Florida’s 67 counties have at least one Baker Act receiving facility, about half do not have a receiving facility. Areas of some counties are geographically distant from the nearest receiving facility. Additional factors may influence the use of involuntary examinations, such as: • Number of people trained in Mental Health First Aid.

• Law enforcement training, including Crisis Intervention Training (CIT).

• Availability of criminal justice system diversion programs at all sequential intercepts, including those fundedby Criminal Justice, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse (CJMHSA) Reinvestment Grants.

• Availability and quality of community-based behavioral health services, including mobile response teams,Florida Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) and Community Action Treatment (CAT) Teams.

• Availability of a wide array of social services such as assistance with housing, coverage for health care, andexistence of county funds for those who are underinsured or uninsured.

• How facilities approach the admission status (voluntary or involuntary) for children based on the logistics ofholding the required voluntariness hearing for children.

Population Statistics: Population statistics are provided in some tables to put counts of involuntary exams in context. Population estimates were obtained from the Florida Office of Economic and Demographic Research. County level characteristics were obtained from the Florida Department of Health, Division of Public Health Statistics and Performance Management, and Florida Health Charts. While this report focuses on counts by fiscal years, estimates of population are available by calendar year. Logical calendar year spans are used to provide context.
