WESTERN STATES DECISION SUPPORT GROUP

WSDSG enables interstate collaboration for improving data infrastructure and performance measurement in public mental health systems, focusing on developing performance indicators for public behavioral health to support quality improvement, policy formation, and administration.

The WSDSG is comprised of two consumers, state representatives from 15 western states, and a staff person. It works on inter-state research projects and meets three times annually.
