Culturally competent outcome evaluation in systems of care for children's mental health
Article Abstract:
Culturally competent outcome evaluation of systems of personal care for children with emotional disorders shows that culturally competent programs are both cost-effective and clinically effective. Culturally competent systems of care take the effect of cultural diversity into account and deliver services in accordance with children's culture-specific needs. An outcome evaluation study involves population indicators and outcome indicators such as race, and functional change, respectively. This approach addresses cultural differences without injuring the interests of minorities.
