Maxey Boys Training School\r\n in Michigan. The purposes of the evaluation were to describe the\r\n activities of the RSAT program and the relationship between program\r\n participants and success in the new program. There were five primary\r\n evaluation questions: (1) Were the participants appropriate? (2) Was\r\n the staff trained to deliver the planned services? (3) How did service\r\n delivery vary over time? (4) Did the participants make timely\r\n progress? and (5) What organizational factors changed service delivery\r\n and participant progress? Residents were admitted to the RSAT program\r\n and its comparison group on the basis of three criteria: (1) the\r\n resident was not a sex offender, (2) he had a known substance abuse\r\n history, and (3) he was expected to be released within one year. Youth\r\n in the RSAT program underwent intensive substance abuse\r\n psycho-education and relapse prevention in addition to the treatment\r\n provided in the Maxey Model. Intake data from the Family Independence\r\n Agency Information System (Part 1) were gathered for youths who\r\n entered Maxey between 1995 and 1998. These data were used to determine\r\n if significant differences existed between the RSAT and comparison\r\n groups. Additional data were collected through a client survey (Parts\r\n 2 and 3), which included questions that evaluated youth satisfaction\r\n with services and their predictions for success. Variables in Part 1\r\n include program admission date, whether the youth was a sex offender,\r\n substance abuse history, the group and wing to which the youth\r\n belonged, age of first offense, age of admission to Maxey, offense\r\n class, number of arrests, number of previous placements, number of\r\n truancies, legal status, and date of first and second\r\n offense. Demographic variables include race, age, marital status, and\r\n county. Variables in Parts 2 and 3 assess the youth's opinions about\r\n school, food, group sessions, hall staff, family sessions, family\r\n visits, the overall program at Maxey, teachers, police, and\r\n judges. Additional variables include last grade of school completed,\r\n expected educational goal upon leaving Maxey, family substance abuse\r\nhistory, and prevalence of substance abuse in neighborhood.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02887.v1", "title": "Process Evaluation of the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Program at the W.J.
