    The ISMICC was established on March 15, 2017, in accordance with 
section 6031 of the 21st Century Cures Act, and the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App., as amended, to report to the Secretary, 
Congress, and any other relevant federal department or agency on 
advances in serious mental illness (SMI) and serious emotional 
disturbance (SED), research related to the prevention of, diagnosis of, 
intervention in, and treatment and recovery of SMIs, SEDs, and advances 
in access to services and support for adults with SMI or children with 
SED. In addition, the ISMICC will evaluate the effect federal programs 
related to serious mental illness have on public health, including 
public health outcomes such as (A) rates of suicide, suicide attempts, 
incidence and prevalence of SMIs, SEDs, and substance use disorders, 
overdose, overdose deaths, emergency hospitalizations, emergency room 
boarding, preventable emergency room visits, interaction with the 
criminal justice system, homelessness, and unemployment; (B) increased 
rates of employment and enrollment in educational and vocational 
programs; (C) quality of mental and substance use disorders treatment 
services; or (D) any other criteria as may be determined by the 
Secretary. Finally, the ISMICC will make specific recommendations for 
actions that agencies can take to better coordinate the administration 
of mental health services for adults with SMI or children with SED. Not 
later than 1 (one) year after the date of enactment of the 21st Century 
Cures Act, and 5 (five) years after such date of enactment, the ISMICC 
shall submit a report to Congress and any other relevant federal 
department or agency.
