The Behavior Setting Assessment (BSA) effectively measures community environments for individuals with chronic psychiatric conditions. This tool provides concrete data on behavioral demands, aiding in better placement decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Community Mental Health

Background:

  • Assessing person-environment fit for chronic psychiatric clients requires detailed community environment data.
  • Existing methods may lack systematic and concrete information about these settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the conceptual and empirical development of the Behavior Setting Assessment (BSA).
  • To evaluate the BSA's utility in characterizing community environments for psychiatric clients.

Main Methods:

  • The Behavior Setting Assessment (BSA), based on Barker's behavior setting theory, was developed.
  • The BSA was applied to 28 residences (117 settings) and 11 programs (176 settings) within two community support systems.

Main Results:

  • All 293 assessed settings were described and analyzed based on their behavioral demands.
  • Key demands included self-care skills, food preparation/consumption, verbal/cognitive responses, and activity types (solitary/group).

Conclusions:

  • The BSA is an efficient tool for gathering specific, concrete information on the behavioral demands of community environments.
  • This data can enhance the effectiveness of residential and program placements for chronic psychiatric clients.
