Description
Summary:In this article we examined the long-term (3 year) treatment outcomes of all adolescents who received services in a statewide system of care.The outcomes included rates of hospitalization, incarceration, and maternity. Because the outcome measures were derived from existing administrative and public health data, outcome data were available for all participants. Results indicate that recipients of services had substantially elevated rates of incarceration and hospitalization (compared to the general population) but that maternity rates in the treatment groups were not different from other young women in the same age group. Interestingly, the amount of elevation of incarceration and hospitalization rates decreased over time.
