Key Assumption Regarding Key Assumption Regarding System of CareSystem of Care
Behavioral health services for youth delivered in adherence to core values will promote positive outcomes
Challenges in Assessing Adherence to Challenges in Assessing Adherence to Core ValuesCore Values
Variation in interpretation and operationalization of core constructs across communities
Widespread acceptance of SOC core values has resulted in a general acceptance of SOC elements (Stroul & Blau, 2010)
Studies have relied solely on family and provider reports of adoption and adherence (Brennan et al., 2002)
Low levels of inter-rater reliability in interviews (Hernandez et al., 2001)

interested in the extent of the adoption of these SOC core values by system partners, providers and community organizations and youth and family members.
The needs of the child are identified and the family dictates the types and mix of services provided.

Summary of ResultsSummary of ResultsThose involved in the System of Care are aware of
positive changes related to the Core ValuesResponses by providers show a 2 to 3 fold increase
in agreement with each of the Core ValuesFamilies and youth responses show, on average, a
20% increase in agreement with the Core Values Changes in the community based values highest
among community based service providers. Results of efforts to expand the inclusion of natural
supports to in the system of care may helped foster movement toward the adoption of system of care core values in the community based providers.
Emerging IssuesEmerging IssuesCommunity based entities exhibit the
greatest increase over time on adoption of core values across all indicators.
Administrators consistently rated awareness and implementation of indicators for each of the core values higher than staff.
For provider specific responses, a lower percentage of survey respondents indicate regular provision of core values to families, provision of vision and mission statement to families, and inclusion of system of care core value into policies and procedures.
