UMSSW PhD student John Cosgrove and Professors Bethany Lee and Jay Unick co-authored A Longitudinal Evaluation of Wraparound's Impact on Youth Mental Health Service Use, published in the Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders.
The study was conducted as part of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) demonstration in Maryland. Findings showed that wraparound care coordination reduced the use of residential treatment and increased use of outpatient services among Medicaid-enrolled youth with significant behavioral health needs.
