  • Title: Administrative barriers to the adoption of high-quality mental health services for children in foster care: a national study.
    Author: Raghavan R, Inkelas M, Franke T, Halfon N.
    Journal: Adm Policy Ment Health; 2007 May; 34(3):191-201. PubMed ID: 17211714.
    Abstract:
    While the need to provide appropriate mental health services to children in foster care is well recognized, there is little information on administrative barriers to assuring that such services are provided. This article presents results from a national survey of mental health agencies to profile their awareness of currently available practice standards, the roles these standards play in guiding practice of mental health agencies, common reimbursement strategies in use for mental health services, and collaborations between mental health and child welfare agencies that enhance children's access to appropriate mental health care. Implications and recommendations for mental health policymakers are discussed.
