The Goals of this Presentation are to Examine:
1. The quality chasm in behavioral health care, including the low rates of treatment access and engagement, including evidence of health disparities by gender, race, age and involvement in the juvenile justice system.
2. The prevalence and co-morbidity of internalizing and externalizing mental health disorders, substance use disorders, and crime/violence including how they vary with age
3. The general factors associated with better outcomes in terms of reduced mental health, substance use and illegal activities

General Predictors of Bigger Effects
1. A strong intervention protocol based on prior evidence
2. Quality assurance to ensure protocol adherence and project implementation
3. Proactive case supervision of individual4. Triage to focus on the highest severity

The more features, the lower the recidivism
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Interventions that Typically do Better than Usual Practice in Reducing
Juvenile Recidivism (29% vs. 40%)
• Aggression Replacement Training• Reasoning & Rehabilitation• Moral Reconation Therapy• Thinking for a Change• Interpersonal Social Problem Solving• MET/CBT combinations and Other manualized CBT• Multisystemic Therapy (MST)• Functional Family Therapy (FFT)• Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT)• Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA)• Assertive Continuing Care

NOTE: There is generally little or no differences in mean effect size between these brand names
Implementation is Essential (Reduction in Recidivism from .50 Control Group Rate)
The effect of a well implemented weak program is as big as a strong program implemented poorly
The best is to have a strong program implemented well
Thus one should optimally pick the strongest intervention that one can implement well

Key Points to Take Away
• There is a major quality chasm in current practice that are even worse for adolescents and young adults
• Multiple co-occurring problems are the norm, vary in mix by age and heavily related to victimization and trauma
• The best predictors of outcome are the use of evidenced based assessment and practice that have worked for others, have strong quality assurance, strong case supervision, and good triage of services to well defined problems.
