Abstract
Using data from the Fort Bragg Evaluation, this article determines whether the continuum of care treatment philosophy extends the length of treatment episodes among children and adoles cents receiving mental health services. This article is the first to examine either the length of treatment episodes for children and adolescents receiving mental health services or the relation ship between time in treatment and the continuum of care. Using hazard modeling, the author finds that children at the Fort Bragg Demonstration are less likely to leave treatment at a point in time and thus remain in treatment longer.Keywords
