the service delivery system to meet the cultural and linguistic needs of the target population. Individuals from racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistically diverse backgrounds frequently require different and individual Mental Health Service System responses. I. County Mental Health System commitment to cultural competence The county shall have the following available on site during the compliance review: A. Copies of the following documents to ensure the commitment to cultural and linguistic competence services are reflected throughout the entire system: 1. Mission Statement 2. Statements of Philosophy 3. Strategic Plans 4. Policy and Procedure Manuals 5. Other Key Documents as identified by the County II. County recognition, value, and inclusion of racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity within the system A. Provide a copy of the county’s CSS plan that describes practices and activities that demonstrate community outreach, engagement, and involvement efforts with identified racial, ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and other relevant small county cultural communities with mental health disparities. See Attachment A: Excerpt from the Mental Health Services Act Annual Update Fiscal Year 2011/2012, Overall Implementation Progress Report and Community Services and Supports Approved Programs B. A one page description addressing the county’s current involvement efforts and level of inclusion with the above identified underserved communities on the advisory committee. Methods for obtaining input and maintaining stakeholder involvement for underserved communities occur in a diversity of ways that include but are not limited to: Humboldt County Department of Health & Human Services sponsored education and planning meetings. These are widely advertised meetings inviting people to gather to discuss mental health services. Humboldt County Department of Health & Human Services participation in community meetings where mental health services education and planning are Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services 1 Cultural Competence Plan June 2011 discussed. These are meetings already occurring in the community where a county staff person attends and requests that mental health services planning be on the agenda for a specific meeting to focus on education and input. These are often meetings sponsored by local community-based organizations and associations that represent and/or serve diverse stakeholders. This dramatically increases the number and diversity of individuals providing input. Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services conducted an extensive planning process for the Community Services and Supports component of the Mental Health Services Act. Many of the individuals who participated in the planning process as Mental Health Board members, clients and family members, and staff provided insight and lessons learned for further mental health services planning. The initial Community Services and Supports planning process component of the Mental Health Services Act included: six regional meetings, thirteen targeted, stakeholder meetings, four age-specific advisory

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

A second survey of 18 networks sought to gather indepth information on network operation. Results showed that 22.2 percent of the stations surveyed were participating in program cooperatives, and over 79 percent felt that network participation would be beneficial. It was concluded that the cooperative program tape network should continue in order to fulfill specialized programing needs. A copy of the two questionnaires, the letter of transmittal, and the mailing list is appended. A list of the networks that participated in the study, 12 statistical tables, and a 20-item bibliography are included.
