Objective

PPHPs are a vital piece in the continuum of mental health services. Although some evidence indicates that PPHP utilization has grown overall over the past two decades, very little information exists about the availability of PPHPs in non-metropolitan as compared to metropolitan hospitals. The purpose of this brief is to:


  1. Provide national estimates of PPHP availability among non-metropolitan and metropolitan hospitals; and

  2. Describe hospital characteristics associated with the provision of PPHPs.
