Abstract

With the growing interest in community mental health programs outside of the United States on the part of American mental health professionals, a cross-cultural format has been developed to assist in making a comprehensive analysis of any national mental health program. The format itself, together with initial experiences with its utilization in the study of six different mental health programs, is presented. While continued revisions of the format can be expected, it has already proved useful in comparative analyses of a variety of mental health program components.
