Assessing the outcomes of parent-and provider-designed systems of care for children with emotional and behavioral disorders.
There is a paucity of research on the outcomes associated with involving parents of children with emotional and behavioral problems as partners with professionals in designing and implementing a system of care. This study examines the systems, child, and family outcomes associated with providing flexible funds to two counties, one engaged in strengthening its provider-designed system and the other in developing and implementing a parent-designed system. This article describes the qualitative, network, and treatment outcome studies comprising the research.
