Service Use Findings from the Child STEPs Effectiveness Trial: Additional Support for Modular Designs

Alayna L Park et al. Adm Policy Ment Health. 2016 Jan.

Abstract

This study expands upon the Chorpita et al. (J Consult Clin Psychol 81:999-1009, 2013) findings by examining the impact of treatment protocol on youths' service utilization up to 2 years after starting an episode of: standard manualized treatment (Standard); modular treatment (Modular); or usual care (UC). Results showed that youths who received Modular accessed fewer service settings at their one-year follow-up relative to youths who received Standard or UC. Findings suggest that modular treatment may offer an advantage over standardized treatment manuals and UC in terms of sustained clinical benefits, and highlight the importance of treatment design considerations for service systems.
