Abstract:
This article presents a model for mental health programs to estimate causal effects of treatment in community settings, where experimental studies, in which subjects are randomly assigned to treatment and control groups, are not feasible. This article describes an observational study that used a propensity score analysis with stratification and a repeated-measures analysis of covariance model to estimate treatment effects. This article includes results from one example site that was identified as having an exceptional home-based community program. The results include treatment effects for 3 outcomes identified as useful goals for home-based community programs. The study also serves as a model of how local programs can establish credibility where no evidence-based treatments exist for severely impaired youths.

Study Designs in Epidemiology
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies.
Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
