Article Synopsis
- The ongoing mental health crisis among youth has increased the need for intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), making the understanding and implementation of best practices, like measurement-based care (MBC), crucial for improving treatment outcomes.
- This paper illustrates how MBC was integrated into a remote IOP at Charlie Health, aimed at helping high-acuity teenagers and young adults with mental health disorders.
- Two pilot studies showed successful outcomes, with high survey completion rates and improved treatment completion rates for clients involved in the MBC pilot, indicating a positive shift in clinician feedback and treatment success.
Introduction: The medical and social definitions of neurodivergence have become a common topic of discussion in recent years, and the ways that we define, measure and report on conditions within the neurodivergent umbrella are changing. The objective of this study was to analyze differences in mental health symptom presentation at intake and compare treatment outcomes among three groups: clients with an affirming neurodivergent diagnosis, clients without an affirming diagnosis, and neurotypical clients.
Methods: Data were collected at intake and discharge.
Background: The youth mental health crisis in the United States continues to worsen, and research has shown poor mental health treatment engagement. Despite the need for personalized engagement strategies, there is a lack of research involving youth. Due to complex youth developmental milestones, there is a need to better understand clinical presentation and factors associated with treatment engagement to effectively identify and tailor beneficial treatments.
