Abstract
AbstractThis article describes a strategy of organizing community stakeholder groups for the purpose of planning and implementing an innovative mental health program—supported education services for adults with mental illnesses who were interested in pursuing postsecondary education. A common planning framework was used in several different communities within the same state. The framework is described, as well as each community's characteristics and their planning and development activities—those typically identified in the literature as predictors of successful innovation diffusion efforts. We then present the outcomes of the planning process in each community and suggest conclusions about which community characteristics and/or planning activities seem to be most associated with success. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
