Upcoming Webinar: Youth Factors Associated with Wraparound Fidelity and Satisfaction

The findings we will present include associations between response rates and outcomes, how youth demographics (race/ethnicity, gender, age) are associated with fidelity and satisfaction, and how well demographics for WFI-EZ respondents reflect demographics of local populations of youth.
