Help@Hand Evaluation Reports

A key component of the Help@Hand project is evaluation, which results reports on a quarterly and annual basis. You can find these reports here.

The analysis and findings presented in the evaluation reports below are those of the University of California, Irvine’s (UCI) Help@Hand evaluation team. CalMHSA works collaboratively with UCI throughout the project and reviews the report for confidentiality, but neither CalMHSA, nor Cities/Counties are authors of the report.

Disclaimer: These Evaluation Reports are written with the Help@Hand Cities/Counties in mind as the target audience, however, the project understands there are many other stakeholders who also have interest in these reports.

The Result

The makers of A4i reported people in emotional difficulty who’ve used the app say it works. A4i says, “They liked it, they stay engaged, and see decreases in symptoms and an uptick in personal well-being.” They say that tracking sleep and engagement can alert the Consumer and their care team to check in before emotional difficulties develop.
