Evaluating the Vermont system of care: outcomes associated with community-based wraparound services

Article Abstract:

A study suggests that interventions wraparound services for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders are more efficient than long-psychiatric hospitalization or residential treatment. Cases of negative behaviors that risk removal of a child from the community decreases substantially. Compliance behavior increases and there is remarkable decline in Total Problem Behavior scores on the Child Behavior Checklist. The study can be helpful in promoting community-based wraparound services.

Multisystemic therapy treatment of substance abusing or dependent adolescent offenders: costs of reducing incarceration, inpatient, and residential placement

Article Abstract:

Multisystemic therapy (MST) is more effective and less costly in treating mental problems of children and adolescents, than services based on family and community. The government provides clinical or residential placements to the adolescents and children involved in legal offenses or substance abusing with incarceration. While the incremental cost of MST itself becomes zero with time, MST treatment causes a reduction in incarceration and placement days. MST is also effective in reducing maltreatment by parents and in improving family functioning.
