The Problem
In the past, juveniles were assumed to have been rehabilitated, cured or made well, by virtue of having completed assigned or mandated treatment. However, there is now research (Mechanic, Weaver & Resick, 2000; Eckhardt, 2004; Broome, Flynn, Knight & Simpson, 2007) that demonstrates these assumptions are frequently not true, particularly, when treatment is court ordered or required by a probation officer. When juvenile treatment is completed, the question invariably arises, "Was treatment effective?" The Juvenile Pre-Post helps answer that question.
Juvenile Pre-test (Pretreatment) Status
The Juvenile Pre-Post pre-test report summarizes the juvenile pretreatment (before treatment) status, when measured by Juvenile Pre-Post scales: Truthfulness, Alcohol, Drug, Violence, Control, and Stress Management. Pretreatment scale score severity becomes the baseline for subsequent post-test (after treatment) comparison. Comparison results are reported as change (e.g., positive, neutral or negative change).
Juvenile Comparison Report
The Juvenile Pre-Post Comparison Report juxtaposes, matches, and compares pre-test and analogous, post-test scale scores. Pre-test scale scores become the baseline for the post-test comparison. Comparison results are reported as change, e.g. positive, neutral, or negative change. All Juvenile Pre-Post scales are compared numerically and graphically, to highlight analogous pre-test/post-test scale score similarities and differences.
