Text of Note

The aim of this dissertation was to examine the extent of association, if any, between strengths (including those of the client, the client's family, and the client's environment) and psychiatric symptom severity for "youth" (children and adolescents aged 5-22) in contact with a mental health and/or substance abuse agency in a public System of Care. This dissertation examined a public systems dataset that included administrative assessment data for every client aged 5-22 (n=2049) who entered into a public System of Care from June 2010-August 2013. The assessment data was collected by clinicians at entry to the system (initial assessment), six months after initial assessment, and twelve months after initial assessment. Behavioral/social learning theory and related research in applied and experimental settings (e.g. Goldiamond, 1974; Madden, 2013; Staats, 2012) would suggest that growth in strengths would be associated with reduction in symptoms. However, time order cannot be determined with the current data and thus only associational relationships are discussed.
