  • Title: What does getting better mean? Child improvement and measure of outcome in residential treatment.
    Author: Connor DF, Miller KP, Cunningham JA, Melloni RH.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 2002 Jan; 72(1):110-7. PubMed ID: 14964600.
    Abstract:
    A single-sample, within-subject descriptive study was completed to ascertain individual subject characteristics associated with outcome for 87 youths discharged from a residential treatment facility. Two different methods of assessing outcome were also compared. Variables assessing a history of abuse and internalizing psychopathology at admission to residential care were associated with outcome. Low levels of staff agreement were found on the 2 outcome measures. Implications for acute residential care are discussed.
