Abstract
The goal of this study was to use administrative data to examine the association between family involvement and youth outcomes for a Medicaid-funded residential treatment program in Florida. Differences between in-person and telephone intervention contacts based on the proximity of the family residence to the program were also explored. Family involvement, including phone contacts, is associated with improved youth outcomes during the treatment episode.
