Project Highlight

Community Mental Health Services and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Evaluations

Altarum Institute is responsible for conducting the first-ever national, independent evaluations of two major block grant programs of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration: the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant and the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant.

What is Health Systems Research: Goals and Objectives


As systems researchers, Altarum Institute begins with the understanding that there is no single health care “system.” Health and health care depend on a complex fabric of systems that are constantly interacting and shaping human health. Our Systems Change Model helps us see the broader environment in which these systems operate and in which problems arise. This methodology identifies critical system interactions and focuses on the root causes that can lead a system to fail. Through our systems research and the Systems Change Model, we help you visualize the whole picture – ensuring a more comprehensive and sustainable solution to your problem.

Read about our health systems research methodology, the Altarum Systems Change Model.
