THE EVIDENCE BASE FOR WRAPAROUND

Wraparound is now used as a strategy to coordinate care for youth with complex needs and their families by child serving systems in almost every U.S. state. Thus, it is imperative that the field has access to rigorous research to inform funding and policy decisions and support implementation of Wraparound and other service models for this population. Since 2005, UW WERT and its partners have been at the forefront of this research agenda. Below is a summary of selected peer-reviewed publications and what these research studies tell the field. You can also access a full bibliography of WERT’s published papers, or search for more resources at the website of the National Wraparound Initiative (NWI).
