Outcome and Satisfaction for 1 - 9 Session Consults as Initial Response to New Referrals (o9) Parent reported outcomes and satisfaction for 1 to 9 session eclectic Brief Intervention offered to referrals entering agency's (St. Claire, Sarnia) service system as a first service response. 53 of 69 discharges occurring during 2005 (77% sample), from Brief intervention. May 23, 2006
MST and Therapeutic process (o10) Multi-site (Ontario) study seeking to determine the specific therapeutic processes which underlie successful MST interventions. Will involve a total of approximately 100 cases from 5 Ontario CMH providers. Measures of adolescent emotional and behavioural problems will be collected at pre-, mid-, post-treatment and one-year follow-up; improvements on these measures are expected to be related to the quality of the therapeutic alliance. Maternal reports of depression and attitudes about therapy will also be examined. Feb, 2007
Outcomes of Cope program provided to community families (o11) This outcome project used the Brief Child and Family Phone Interview to determine: (1) who enrols in universally advertised, community based COPE parenting programs, (2) who successfully completes COPE parenting programs, and (3) what is the outcome of COPE parenting programs for parents of children with highly oppositional behavior (BCFPI Cooperation Scores greater than or equally to 70). Feb 16, 2005
Group and intense in-home intervention to residential treatment (o12) Grimes program: Parent (Cope, Barkley) groups and child groups, intense in-home services and crises intervention for high-need children and their families. This pilot alternative to residence is expected to serve up to 100 children per year who would otherwise be candidates for residence. Most of the program resources are re-allocated from a residential program, previously serving 10 children per year. Ottawa; Crossroads CFC. Oct 30, 2004
Uptake, Satisfaction, Outcomes and Productivity for Systematic Triage to Large Groups (COPE), Brief Therapy, Clinic Treatment and Community Supports

(o13) Brant Central Intake systematically triages cases into 1 or more defined service streams based on Intake profiles.

This project examines client uptake of this broad triaging approach; client satisfaction and outcomes at discharge; and outcomes at 6 and 12 month follow-up. Its case-handling capacity will be compared to previous approaches.

Then, satisfaction and outcome results will be grouped by the services to which the cases were referred, to obtain information re the uptake satisfaction and effectiveness of these specific service components.

The hope is that systematic triage, large groups and brief consults will increase system capacity, and that all aspects of the system will achieve high rates of client satisfaction, and outcomes comparable to benchmark outcomes for each of the CMH problems addressed by the system.

Reduced Waiting List, High satisfaction, and Large Effect Sizes Associated with Strategic Triaging (o13a) This update to the Brant Project shows a sharply decreased waiting list, very high levels of satisfaction, and large effect sizes, as of March 31 2006. Details about Brant's triaging strategy associated with these improvements, are provided in Brant Project o13. Jun 14, 2006

BCFPI satisfaction data is also tabulated. Current update includes 12 month data on a 90% sample of 56 successive admissions, and shows high effect sizes and mixed satisfaction. May 20, 2005
Symptom Trajectory and Outcomes of Children and Youth Treated re Sexual Misconduct (o15) BCFPI follow-up surveys will be administered at the end of each phase of the 'STOP' treatment program, upon discharge from Niagara CYS, and at 6 and 12 month follow up. This will assess symptom course as each stage of treatment is completed; satisfaction at discharge, and will benchmark outcome effect size at discharge, 6 and 12 month follow-up. BCFPI results will be compared with more detailed STOP assessments to explore the cost and utility of each for service management. This will involve 60 successive STOP discharges from each of Niagara CYS's child and youth STOP programs. Dec 08, 2004
Benchmarked Discharge Effect Size Results for Intensive Services (o16) Effect sizes for Residence, Day Treatment and Intense-In home services compares favorably to benchmarks in this overview of initial results for successive discharges (further interim results for projects o2, o6, o8 in BCFPI outcomes projects).

Skills training for caregivers of Selectively Mute children

(o17) Outcome evaluation of a skills-training group program for parents and professionals supporting children with Selective Mutism (SM).

Paper Outcomes Forms

Adolescent Outcomes Forms (Interview or self-report) (Eng, Fra, Swd) (.pdf)

Parent Outcomes Forms (Interview or self-report) (Eng, Fra, Swd) (.pdf)

Teacher Outcomes Forms (Interview or self-report) (Eng, Fra, Swd) (.pdf)

Paper DISCHARGE, SATISFACTION, AND FOLLOW-UP forms are for collection of Discharge and Follow-up outcome data (6, 12, 24 months).

This is a brief paper form completed during an interview, or self-completed by a parent, teacher or youth at time of discharge, or on follow-up (e.g. 6 months after discharge). It can also mailed to the parent, teacher or youth for them to complete and return.

The forms contains abbreviated versions of the full Intake Interviews, and are restricted to questions re BCFPI's standardized mental health and functioning domains, along with satisfaction items. To enter the data, users create a new BCFPI Parent, Youth or Tecaher form regarding the child, using stage = 'After' or the appropriate follow-up interval (6,12, 24 months).

Data from these forms can be analyzed with current and pending BCFPI reports, comparing pre-post results for single cases, selected cases and groups of cases.
