Long-Term Outcomes of Public Mental Health Clients: Two-Year Follow-Up (Archived)

Wei Yen - February 2006

The 2001 Washington State Legislature directed the Institute to conduct a longitudinal study on the outcomes of state-funded mental health clients to identify best practices in the provision of public mental health services. This report contains the two-year follow-up of public mental health clients selected from the baseline year of 2002. Two sets of analyses are performed. The first examines differences in client profiles between all baseline clients and those who continued to receive public mental health services in 2004. The second examines outcomes in 2004 of all adult clients from the baseline and client characteristics associated with variation in outcomes. Outcomes examined include utilization of public mental health services, utilization of other public medical services, employment, and criminal justice involvement.

Intensive Family Preservation Services: Program Fidelity Influences Effectiveness—Revised (Archived)

Marna Miller - February 2006

This study reviews all rigorous evaluations of Intensive Family Preservation Services (IFPS) programs. We sorted these evaluations based on fidelity to the Homebuilders® model. Findings: IFPS programs that adhere closely to the Homebuilders® model significantly reduce out-of-home placements and subsequent abuse and neglect. We estimate that such programs produce $2.54 of benefits for each dollar of cost. Non-Homebuilders® programs produce no significant effect on either outcome.

Evidence-Based Adult Corrections Programs: What Works and What Does Not (Archived)

Steve Aos, Marna Miller, Elizabeth Drake - January 2006

This report to the Washington State Legislature summarizes our latest review of evidence-based adult corrections programs. We previously published a review on this topic in 2001. In this study, we update and significantly extend our earlier effort.

We are publishing our current work in two installments. In this preliminary report, we provide a systematic review of the evidence on what works (and what does not) to reduce crime. In a subsequent final report, to be published in October 2006, this analysis will include a benefit-cost estimate for each option.
