The East Tennessee Assertive Adolescent Family Treatment Program: A Three-Year Evaluation

Components of Outpatient Child and Youth Concurrent Disorders Programs: A Critical Interpretive Synthesis: Composantes des programmes de troubles concomitants des enfants et des jeunes ambulatoires : une synthèse interprétative critique

“…After title and abstract screening, 32 documents met our eligibility criteria; following full-text screening, 7 documents were included for data abstraction. [30][31][32][33][34][35][36] We excluded full-text documents due to the following reasons: wrong patient population (e.g., adult population or not concurrent disorders; n = 11), wrong setting (e.g., inpatient settings; n = 3), wrong intervention (e.g., substance use treatment only; n = 6), and wrong study design (e.g., not describing programs; n = 5). From the seven documents included following full-text screening, four unique child and youth concurrent disorder programs [30][31][32][33][34] and two theoretical models 35,36 were identified.…”

Mental disorders and transition to adult mental health services: A scoping review

“…Studies evaluating the experience of patients, carers and clinicians [26] To evaluate experiences of patients with eating disorders who had transferred to adult services Qualitative interviews Young people advocated for better coordination and communication between paediatric and adult providers to bridge the gap between two different systems of care [34] To explore mothers' perspectives of transitionalage (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) youths with mental disorders Survey questionnaire Services' providers did not meet youth's needs for emotional support, preparing for independent living, practical advice, collaborative and case planning, and information about their illness [54] To survey experiences of young adults with mental disorders before and after transition Qualitative interviews Descriptions of adult services were vague and superficial in comparison to the lengthy descriptions provided for child service, (i.e.) job searches, and the relationship with clinician [7] To explore parents' experiences and to collect their recommendations for transfer to adult care Survey questionnaire Parents pointed out lack of information, lack of coordinated planning, difficulties in accessing services, and unmet needs in multiple areas [60] To describe professionals' views of the transition process from child to adult psychiatry Focus groups A gap could occur due to different perspectives, lack of knowledge, a mutual understanding, and cooperation.…”

“…There are mainly two contrasting potential approaches to managing the transition to adult care: improving the interface between services as they currently exist [86,21,62,102] and developing new service models of integrated youth mental health services [42,35,96,19,89]. Findings from a review assessing similar studies on chronic physical diseases showed that the presence of specific transition clinics, often seen as a solution, can result in a double transition: a temporary solution before accessing adult services [18].…”

Comparing two federal financing strategies on penetration and sustainment of the adolescent community reinforcement approach for substance use disorders: protocol for a mixed-method study

“…One such EBP is the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA [13]), a 12-14-week behavioral treatment for adolescents and young adults that seeks to replace environmental factors supporting substance use with alternative activities and behaviors. A-CRA improved substance use, mental health, and social outcomes in four randomized clinical trials [7], and implementing A-CRA with adequate fidelity predicts comparable clinical outcomes in community settings [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. This project focuses on A-CRA as an exemplar EBP for adolescent SUD that has been widely implemented with a common, yet poorly researched, implementation financing strategy: federal grants.…”
