External Validator to Support the Evaluation of the King County Pay for Success Outpatient Behavioral Health Treatment on Demand Initiative

- The evaluation plan developed by the internal evaluator includes appropriate methodology to assess the Treatment on Demand initiative;
- The internal evaluation is adhering to the evaluation plan; and
- The results of the Treatment on Demand evaluation are reported in an unbiased way.
The external validation is expected to start in August 2017 and end in March 2019. The amount of effort expended by the external validator is not to exceed $50,000.
