The Fort Bragg continuum of care for children and adolescents: Mental health outcomes over 5 years

Controversial early results of the Fort Bragg mental-health-effectiveness s tudy indicated that the continuum of care did not produce better outcomes ( i.e., children's rate of improvement was the same in both the demonstration and comparison sites). The present study considered outcomes at 5-year fol low-up to examine long-term effects from the continuum of care. A random re gression longitudinal model analyzed 10 key outcome variables measured 7 ti mes. Long-term outcomes in continuum-treated children were no better than t hese of comparison children; results are consistent with those of earlier s tudies.
