| مستخلص: | This paper, presented at a symposium on expanding the research base of systems of care for children's mental health, describes an ongoing study of school reform in urban settings and effects on youth with emotional and/or behavioral disabilities and their families. The paper presents information on the first 99 (out of an expected 200) youth and their families recruited into the study. Descriptive data include demographic information; history of behaviors; cognitive, academic, and school functioning; emotional and behavioral problems and functional impairment; past and current service utilization; and parent satisfaction. These students are from eight schools in either Maryland or Ohio. The majority of these students are black males within the average to low-average range of intelligence. They have elevated scores on the Child Behavior Checklist, indicating a high level of symptomatology that is intervening with functioning as measured by the Columbia Impairment Scale. The students are primarily from single-parent families and behind their non-handicapped peers in reading and math skills. Average age of onset of symptoms was 5.9 years with first service received at an average of 7.3 years. Although multiple models of mental health service delivery are operating at the various schools, school personnel deliver the majority of mental health services. (DB) |
