Therapeutic foster care has received mixed reviews in its ability to provide adequate and beneficial services for children. Only recently have researchers begun conducting outcome studies investigating its effectiveness. Both locally and nationally, the debate continues about what this system offers to children. As a means of monitoring the effectiveness of the services provided to these children, this study analyzed the two types of specialized therapeutic services made available to foster care children in the state of Florida under Medicaid guidelines. This effectiveness study investigated whether or not there is a significant difference in treatment outcome for those foster care children receiving one hour of therapeutic services per week and those receiving two hours of therapeutic services per week. A sample of eighty-two foster care children, ranging in age from five to seventeen, were matched according to gender, age, race, and Axis I diagnosis. Using outcome data collected from April 1999 through September 2002 at the state of Florida's largest provider of therapeutic services to foster care children, the researcher conducted a repeated measures analysis of variance to interpret the results from three separate outcome measures: the CFARS (Ward et al., 1998), the DSMD (Naglieri, LeBuffe, & Pfeiffer, 1994), and the CGAS (Shaffer et al., 1983). The results of this study indicated that both groups demonstrated a statistically significant mean difference in treatment outcome over time. In addition, there is a statistically significant mean difference in treatment outcome between those children receiving one hour per week of therapy and those receiving two hours per week of therapy. Those foster care children receiving one hour of therapy per week displayed greater treatment gains than those children receiving two hours of therapy per week. Thus, this preliminary study goes against the adage that more is better than less with respect to treatment frequency for foster care children.Subjects--Topical Terms:
