title: Development of a measure to assess the implementation of children's systems of care: the Systems of Care Implementation Survey (SOCIS).
abstract: The children's system of care framework has been extensively implemented in the U.S. Since its inception in 1993, the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program has invested in excess of $1 billion supporting the development of systems of care in 164 grantee sites across the country. Despite these efforts to implement children's systems of care nationally, little is known about the extent to which the principles and values actually have been put into practice outside of the funded grantee sites. This paper describes the development of the Systems of Care Implementation Survey, a measure designed specifically for the first ever study assessing the level of implementation of factors contributing to effective children's systems of care in a nationally representative sample of counties throughout the U.S.
