Abstract
Results of a day treatment program tailored to psychiatrically disturb ed truant adolescents were compared to those of traditional outpatient treatment for effects on truancy, psychiatric symptoms, global improv ement, and global functioning. Significantly greater reductions of tru ancy were found in the day treatment program, along with significantly greater improvement in the other factors measured.
