Adolescent Extended Treatment Facility (AETF) Evaluation Framework
Overview
In response to the Barrett Adolescent Centre Commission of Inquiry Report, QCMHR was engaged to identify existing clinical and program evaluation frameworks for extended treatment for adolescents and young people with severe, persistent, and complex mental illness. Following this review, the Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drugs Branch (MHAODB) requested that an evaluation framework be developed for the new Statewide Adolescent Extended Treatment Facility (AETF).
The AETF Evaluation Framework project will:
- Identify the position of the proposed AETF within Queensland adolescent mental health services.
- Organise and consult with an expert advisory panel to draft an evaluation framework.
- Prepare and implement an evaluation framework for the AETF.
The core aim of this project is to improve evidence-based outcomes for adolescents with severe, persistent, and complex mental illness through the creation of a sustainable and meaningful evaluation framework.
