| resumeang: Compared the outcomes of children who received negligible amounts of outpatient treatment to children receiving more treatment. A random regression longitudinal model was used to analyze outcomes of children (aged 5-17 yrs) from the Fort Bragg Evaluation Project. In examining 6- and 12-mo outcomes, the results show no statistically significant dose effect. It is concluded that children receiving substantial amounts of treatment showed no better mental health outcomes than those receiving negligible amounts of treatment. The results do not support the existence of a dose effect consistent enough to guide clinicians, administrators, or policymakers. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2000 APA, all rights reserved): |
