The National Wraparound Initiative and Wraparound Evaluation and Research Team invite you to join us for a webinar at which we will present Wraparound outcomes research studies planned for the 2020 Tampa Children’s Mental Health Research and Policy Conference that was sadly canceled due to COVID-19. In this 90-minute webinar, they will present findings from four studies: (1) a new meta-analysis of outcomes from 19 controlled Wraparound studies found in a systematic review, (2) a study of Medicaid costs savings from Connecticut’s Wraparound care coordination initiative, (3) a quasi-experimental study of outcomes as evaluated by the CANS instrument for Wraparound versus alternative services in a large provider organization, and (4) relationships between provider organization conditions and Wraparound fidelity and outcomes.
