Abstract
The Andersen framework of service use was used to examine the correlates of use of the recommended aftercare services after intensive family preservation services (IFPS). Primary caregivers were interviewed at two months after termination of IFPS to ascertain use of the recommended aftercare services. Hierarchical ordinary least squares regression was used to assess the contribution of need, predisposing, and enabling variables to service use variance. Although most families had contact with at least some of the recommended aftercare services, the models explained little of the variance in service use. It is suggested that use of recommended aftercare services be conceptualized as treatment adherence and that researchers incorporate treatment process variables when studying the use of recommended services.Keywords
