Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Substance Abuse Treatment
Quality Improvement

Background:

The significance of structural quality in intensive community-based care has been recognized since the 1980s.
However, this area has received limited research attention in recent decades.
This gap hinders effective evaluation of care quality and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify perceived structural quality indicators for intensive community-based care targeting substance abusers.
To develop an expanded classification system for these indicators.
To facilitate meaningful effect studies and strengthen the evidence for structure-outcome relationships.

Main Methods:

Employed concept mapping methodology.
Utilized a purposive sample of subject matter experts.
Analyzed expert input to identify and categorize structural quality indicators.

Main Results:

Identified seven distinct clusters representing key structural quality indicators.
These clusters provide a framework for assessing the structural quality of care.
The developed classification system offers a basis for future research.

Conclusions:

The study successfully identified and classified crucial structural quality indicators for intensive community-based care.
The proposed classification system is valid and can support future research.
This work is essential for advancing the understanding and improvement of substance abuse treatment quality.
