This study was part of a larger study of Partnering for Success, a federally funded initiative focused on providing evidence-based outpatient mental health treatment to children involved with or at risk for involvement with the child welfare system. With a sample of 782 children, the study explored strategies that therapists can use to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in treatment for behavioral problems in children. The results provide promising evidence that racial and ethnic disparities in treatment receipt for behavioral problems are reduced when therapists administer and adhere to the results of standardized screening instruments and participate in clinical consultation.
