Posted by rickbarth in Uncategorized.add a comment
The recently released Administration and Policy in Mental Health Services Research has 12 articles related to conceptualizing, measuring, and evaluating efforts to implement evidence-based children’s mental health services. This work, developed by the McArthur Research Network on Youth Mental Health includes a wide range of interesting papers including one on the implementation of Functional Family Therapy in NY; a national survey of the infrastructure of children’s mental health centers that can help ascertain barriers and opportunities for implementation, and additional description of Bruce Chorpita’s work on the elements of children’s mental health interventions (previously discussed on this blog). It’s a very strong issue.
