  • Title: Creating a front porch in systems of care: improving access to behavioral health services for diverse children and families.
    Author: Callejas LM, Hernandez M, Nesman T, Mowery D.
    Journal: Eval Program Plann; 2010 Feb; 33(1):32-5. PubMed ID: 19604581.
    Abstract:
    Despite recognition of the central role that service accessibility (and availability) should assume within a system of care, the definition proposed in the feature article of this special issue does not identify specific factors that systems of care must take into account in order to serve diverse children with serious emotional disturbance and their families in a culturally competent manner. This paper provides support for inclusion of the concepts of access and availability in the system of care definition and presents important factors that systems of care must take into account in order to increase access in a culturally competent manner, a core system of care value.
