Abstract: The Fort Bragg Evaluation Project hypothesized that the mental health of children treated in the Demonstration's continuum of care would improve more than that of children receiving traditional mental health services at a comparison site. Program theory further predicted site differences in outcome for certain subgroups of children, such as those with severe mental health problems. These hypotheses were tested at 6-month and 1-year follow-ups in several ways, but results showed only slightly more site differen… Show more

“…The author provides group training to interested users and there is a Web site to update users on new information (www.cafas.com). Most notably, the CAFAS was the major outcome variable in two large studies of health service delivery: the Fort Bragg Evaluation Project (Lambert and Guthrie, 1996) and the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program (Hodges et al, 1999;2000). In these investigations and other work, the CAFAS has been sensitive to treatment gains (Walrath et al, 2001), has been shown to predict outcomes in youths receiving residential treatment (Gorske et al, 2003), and to predict service use over 6 months for youths with serious emotional disturbance (Hodges and Wong, 1997;.…”

“…After finding no dose effect on the CBCL total T score, we expanded the analysis to include the whole list of 12 outcomes used in the FBEP outcome study (Lambert & Guthrie, 1996) and the internalizing and externalizing scores for the CBCL and the YSR, making a total of 16 outcomes. This multimethod list of outcomes included an overall global outcome score, checklist reports by parents (CBCL), checklist reports by children over the age of 12 (YSR), interviewer ratings of DSM-III-R symptoms (PCAS and CAS), functioning impairment (CAPAS and GLOF), and four individualized outcomes tailored to fit each child.…”

“…Children in the Fort Bragg program showed substantial clinical improvement coincident with therapy. The Fort Bragg youngsters improved markedly on clinical measures over the initial 6-month lag and continued to improve over the 1-year lag, with good 12-month rates on Jacobson and Truax's (1991) reliable change index (see Lambert & Guthrie, 1996). In the absence of a comparison group, such findings might have seemed to support the effectiveness of the system of care program.…”
