“…The Ohio Youth Problems, Functioning, and Satisfaction Scales or Ohio Scales for Youth (Ogles et al 2001b) are multiple content (problem severity, functioning, hopefulness, satisfaction), multiple source (parent, youth, agency worker) instruments that are used to assess initial severity and outcome for public mental health services in the state of Ohio. The Ohio Scales were developed to create a set of instruments that would emphasize the practical characteristics that are useful for agencies and practitioners (e.g., brief, easy scoring, easy to interpret, reasonable price) while maintaining rigorous psychometric properties.…”

“…For this paper only the parent rated problem severity will be considered. Psychometric data regarding the Ohio Scales can be found in several published sources (e.g., Ogles et al 2001bOgles et al , 2004. These publications provide evidence of the reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change for the various scales on the Ohio Scales.…”

“…In addition, evidence for validity can be seen through correlations between the parent ratings of problem severity and the total score on the CBCL, r = 0.89, and Connor's Parent Rating Form, r = 0.84 (Ogles et al 2000). Finally, validity has been demonstrated through the Ohio Scales ability to discriminate between clinical and non-clinical samples and among youth with different diagnoses (Ogles et al 2001b;Turchik et al 2007).…”

Outcome data collection systems provide the opportunity for comparing agencies, programs, and therapists. However, the political stakes of comparisons raise important issues regarding their perceived validity. The goal of case-mix adjustment is to eliminate potential biasing factors that might render comparisons as inappropriate or irrelevant. In this paper, case-mix adjustment variables are identified using regression analysis followed by developing models of case mix adjustment using a sample of youth participants in the Ohio Mental Health Consumer Outcomes System. Results indicate that certain client level variables do predict outcomes. The total variance accounted for by variables other than baseline ratings of the outcome measure was small. When comparing agencies using adjusted and unadjusted models, some agencies did vary relative to other agencies. As with previous studies, however, the rank order of agencies was largely unchanged and the correlation between adjusted and unadjusted outcomes among agencies was significant.

“…Sources for these scales' content areas were selected through a review of the current importance of conceptually practical concepts. Input was sought from parents and clinicians who corroborated the concepts and had no other relevant concepts to add (Ogles et al 2001). The Youth Problems-Short Form Scale's 20 items covers common problems associated with youth who receive behavioral health services to which parents rate youth for severity/ frequency on a six-point scale (0 ''Not at all'' to 5 ''All the time'') during the past 30 days.…”

Relationship Between Caregiver Hopefulness and Satisfaction with their Children’s Mental Health Services

Relationships among the Youth Services Survey for Families (YSSF) Indicators, selected demographic and clinical variables, and caregiver-rated hopefulness and children's problem severity were examined in a random sample of 1,500 caregivers of Medicaid-enrolled youth in a satisfaction study with Kentucky's 14 community mental health centers. Multiple linear regressions revealed that caregiver services and caregiver hopefulness were excellent predictors of two and three YSSF Indicators, respectively. Providers need to respond to caregiver concerns when developing support services and understand the mechanisms associated with these services' effectiveness. Tracking changes in caregiver and youth hopefulness during treatment may improve services and retention and bridge the gap between research and the important construct of hope.

Due to the paucity of high-quality data and considerable inconsistency in results from different studies, there is currently insufficient evidence to reach any firm conclusions regarding the role of client feedback in psychological therapies for children and adolescents with mental health problems, and further research on this important topic is needed.Future studies should avoid risks of performance, detection and attrition biases, as seen in the studies included in this review. Studies from countries other than the USA are needed, as well as studies including children younger than 10 years.
