Closing the Gap: A Study of the Implementation and Effectiveness of theYouth in Transition (YouIT) Intensive Case Management Services.

This evaluation will investigate the implementation and effectiveness of the integrated

community mental health services for youth and young adults with mental health and

addiction problems. The evaluation will entail two distinct pieces of research: (1) an

evaluation of the implementation of the program and (2) an evaluation of the outcomes of

participants in the program. The implementation evaluation will be conducted to describe how

the program was implemented, and to evaluate the fidelity of the program. The second part

of the research will examine the outcomes of clients over the course of their involvement in

the program. The data for the outcome evaluation will be collected through the administration

information system, and through self-reported client data. If the evaluation is found to be

effective, the approach could be replicated by partner organizations allowing them to better

serve their clients.
