Minn-LInK Report Brief—Special Topic No. 38, Spring 2019
Author: Witham, M. A.
The purpose of this study was to (a) determine if there is evidence of post-treatment symptom reduction for a racially-diverse sample of children and adolescents served by a community-based mental health clinic, (b) identify subgroups of children by environmental risk, and (c) determine if there are differences between subgroups on outcome
change scores.
- Do children who receive mental health treatment show significant symptom reduction on
pre- to post-treatment measures?v - Are there meaningful homogeneous groups of children that can be identified based on
environmental risk factors? - Do changes in symptomology differ by identified environmental risk subgroups?
