This is a mentored career development award to enhance knowledge
and skills in the methods for implementing outcome assessment
protocols in child and adolescent mental health service systems.
Two studies are planned: 1) examine the desired outcomes of
multiple stakeholders involved in youth mental health care
and to examine their perceptions of the burdens, benefits,
and validity of a state mandated outcome assessment protocol;
and 2) examine the predictive validity of changes in score
on commonly used outcome measures related to "real" life outcomes
such as school attendance, living environment, and service
utilization.
