Current Research Trends eJournal
![]() |
Twice a year, ORE publishes Behavioral Health in Ohio: Current Research Trends (CRT). This e-journal replaces the bound biennial compendium New Research in Mental Health (NRMH). Although ORE has ceased publishing NRMH, recent issues remain available in Research and Evaluation Publications. The new e-journal format enables ORE to provide information to the field more expeditiously. Learn more about ODMH-sponsored research as it relates mental health issues. Subscribe |
The Multi-Agency Community Services Information System (MACSIS) is an automated payment and management information system for mental health services. To facilitate communications about issues related to MACSIS, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services are sponsoring several e-mail listservs. These listservs are "private" and are open to board or provider staff and MACSIS-related State staff, as appropriate.

To facilitate communications about work related to rules, the Ohio Department of Mental Health provides an e-mail listserv for any interested constituent, including providers, consumers, family members, trade associations, and other interested parties. ODMH will continue to use the existing listservs to send communications to Executive Directors of Certified Community Mental Health Agency Executive Directors and Administrators of Licensed Private Psychiatric Hospital Administrators. ODMH will use the listservs to notify subscribers of activity related to rules, including communication about draft, pending and enacted rules, and information on rule training.
