TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Federal Disaster Mental Health Response and Compliance with Best Practices JO - Community mental health journal A1 - McIntyre, Jody A1 - Nelson Goff, Briana S. SP - 723 EP - 728 VL - 48 IS - 6 N2 - This study investigated the comprehensiveness of disaster mental health state plans and their adherence to published best practices in three states that experienced post-9/11 federally-declared disasters. There were 59 disaster mental health best practices used in this study to assess each state disaster mental plan's compliance with best practices; the states demonstrated a range of adherence to the best practices. This research may serve as a guide for those developing disaster mental health plans and encourage further considerations in disaster mental health response.
