Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Minnesota developed its treatment outcomes monitoring system to evaluate its service delivery system and to identify specific ways to enhance treatment outcomes. Standardized patient and treatment data were collected for all outpatient and inpatient admissions, and an assessment interview and weekly treatment services records were completed for 4,953 adults and 387 adolescents who consented to participate in the outcomes study. Six-month follow-up interviews were completed for 64.4% of these adults and 83.5% of these adolescents. The study identified predictors of treatment completion and outcome for adults and adolescents, and predictors of outcome by setting for adults. The study also examined results for programs designed especially for adolescents, women, and culturally specific populations, as well as the relationships to outcomes of ancillary services and continuing care activities. Anticipated policy and program design changes resulting from the findings are discussed, along with the practical limitations of conducting a state outcomes monitoring system. (Editor's abstract.)
