Webinar Recording: SMART-Wrap Update
The WERT research team at the University of Washington is developing a mechanism for using ultra-brief text-based surveys to gather data on fidelity, satisfaction and outcomes from youth and caregivers in Wraparound. This system, called SMART-Wrap, will provide a low-burden, reliable approach for obtaining feedback from caregivers and youth enrolled in Wraparound. Data will be available to care coordinators, supervisors and managers, and can be used in monitoring fidelity, satisfaction, and outcomes. This webinar reported on initial testing and usability findings.
