Do We Serve Equitably? by J. Manuel Casas, Michelle Wood, Occasional Paper No. 55 Abstract The comparability of risk factors, clinical outcomes, and services were
examined with regard to Hispanic and non-Hispanic White youths participating
in a managed system of care for youths experiencing emotional and/or behavioral
disturbances for at least six months. Intra-and inter-group differences
were documented in the context of two distinct outcome groups: (1) Improvers
- whose behavioral indices were rated within the clinical range at intake
and then improved (to below the clinical range) after six months in the
system of care; and (2) Deprovers - whose behavioral indices were rated
below clinical range at intake and then deteriorated (to within clinical
range) after six months in the system of care. The services delivered
to the youths in these outcome groups by ethnicity are presented. The
impact that various types of services may have had on the youths' internalizing
and/or externalizing problems is discussed. Differences between the services
received by the ethnic groups may provide evidence about what works in
a system of care and how to serve these youths in a more culturally competent
manner.
