“…It is important to bear in mind that participants' scores remain in the normal range of functioning at six months postdischarge for both the OBH and RTC programs. Other than the slight difference found between the OBH and RTC samples post-discharge, the trends in this study are consistent with those found in other OBH young adult samples (Hoag et al, 2013;Roberts et al, 2016;Roberts et al, 2017) as well as in samples of OBH and RTC adolescents (Behrens, 2011;Tucker et al, 2011;Zelov et al, 2013).…”

“…As is common in long-term clinical outcome studies, this study saw a sharp decline in responses at the point of post-discharge (Behrens, 2011;Russell, 2003;Zelov et al, 2013). Attrition is one of the major methodological problems in longitudinal research (Combs, 2016;Estrada, Woodcock, & Schultz, 2014).…”

“…In fact, most adolescent studies reported similar ratios of males to females, profiles of ethnicity, as well as numbers and rates of presenting problems (Behrens, 2011;Tucker et al, 2011;Tucker et al, 2014;Tucker et al, 2016a;Tucker et al, 2016b; 0.282 ***p< .001, a significant pairwise mean difference between admit and discharge (p< .05), b significant pairwise mean difference between discharge and six months post-discharge (p< .05), c significant pairwise mean difference between admit and six months post-discharge (p< .05) Bold scores represent scores above the clinical cut-off as normed by instrument developers. Zelov et al, 2013). This finding suggests that, in many ways, the demographic profile of adolescent and young adult clients in NATSAP programs is similar.…”

“…Furthermore, the research suggests that adolescents maintain gains up to one year post-discharge (Behrens, 2011;Tucker et al, 2016a;Tucker, Smith, & Gass, 2014;Tucker, Zelov, & Young, 2011;Zelov, Tucker, & Javorski, 2013).…”

This study explored the demographic characteristics and self-reported psychosocial and family functioning of young adult clients treated in multiple Outdoor Behavioral Health (OBH) and Residential Treatment Centers (RTC) that are member programs of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP). Data suggest that the demographics of the young adult population in NATSAP programs are similar to that of adolescent NATSAP programs. Furthermore, results were generally comparable with those previously reported with adolescent data because they showed that, overall, young adults in both OBH and RTC programs endorse statistically and clinically significant change from admit to discharge on the Outcome Questionnaire and the General Functioning scale of the Family Assessment Device. The reported gains made during treatment appear to be maintained at six months post-discharge. These results are considered preliminary given issues with attrition and the lack of a comparison group.

“…In addition, there is limited data looking at if these changes are maintained once youth leave OBH programs (Zelov, Tucker, & Javorski, 2013). Finally, it is also unclear what role OBH plays in the change of functioning in family systems even though data has been collected from parents reporting on the changes they see in their children (Bettmann et al, 2012;Zelov et al, 2013).…”

The use of Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare (OBH) as a viable treatment modality for adolescents with behavioral, emotional, and substance use issues has been gaining increased attention. This research builds upon the literature by utilizing a longitudinal study to explore clinical changes, measured using the Youth Outcome Questionnaire (YOQ), and changes in family functioning as measured by the general functioning scale of the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Both clinically and statistically significant positive results with youth, mothers, and fathers at points of intake, discharge, and six months post discharge were found; however, parent and youth reports differed especially at six months post discharge. In addition, regression analyses showed that mothers and youth were more aligned than fathers in their perceptions of changes in family functioning post OBH treatment. This research fills a gap in the behavioral healthcare literature concerning the outcomes of using wilderness therapy and their association with family involvement in maintaining clinical change and improved family functioning.
