Students, employees, & alumni can help with research on behavioral health careers in Ohio
The Ohio Department of Higher Education and the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) encourage students, faculty members, and current or past members of Ohio’s behavioral health workforce to participate in the 2023 Behavioral Health Careers Education & Careers Awareness Market Analysis in Ohio communities.
An independent research firm, Measurement Resources Company (MRC), has been contracted to conduct the market research. All respondents will remain anonymous.
- The survey is open through April 15, 2023, and is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OMHASWorkforceSurvey1.
- The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete.
- Paper surveys are available upon request– please contact Christian Hall at chall@measurementresourcesco.com to request paper copies of the survey, or for help with any technical problems you experience with the online survey.
This research will provide OhioMHAS and its partners with information about current awareness and perceptions of behavioral health career paths, the reasons employees in related fields are not entering the behavioral health field or why employees are leaving the field, and communication strategies for recruiting behavioral health workers.
The research results also will help in planning Ohio public awareness and education efforts and campaigns as well as workforce programs and initiatives.
Individuals invited to participate include:
- Students and career counselors or advisors from Ohio colleges, universities, high schools, and technical schools
- Personnel from employment assistance programs
- Current and past members of Ohio’s behavioral health workforce, and employees from related fields
