Abstract:
This article reviews the evidence base for community-based interventions from a systems of care perspective. The article summarizes previous reviews and provides updates and current directions for recent and ongoing studies. As expected, the evidence base is strongest for multisystemic therapy and treatment foster care. A relatively well-developed evidence base is also revealed for case management. The article concludes with recommendations for future directions within each of the designated types of interventions.
