Measurement of Change Sample Clauses

Measurement of Change. For most outcome analyses we will use a propensity score analysis method to construct comparable groups of youth across the three treatment conditions with similar age, service histories, and criminal justice factors. This method incorporates numerous variables into a multivariate model that will generate propensity score weights that will be used to balance the three treatment groups on history of substance abuse and mental health problems and services, prior involvement with the criminal justice system, child welfare involvement, and demographic factors. This reduces selection bias by adjusting for pre-existing differences among groups. We will also conduct sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of our findings. Comparisons among the three treatment groups (“treatment as usual”; “treatment as usual”+RSS; A- CRA+RSS) will be made and tested for statistical significance using a “difference in differences” approach. The difference-in-differences approach 20 (also known as an untreated control group design with pretest and posttestxxix) is often used to help control for expected changes that might occur given “treatment as usual.” It compares the change in outcomes between the pre- and post-periods for youth who receive treatment enhancements relative to the change between the same periods for youth in the “treatment as usual” group. We will generally consider each month after WSYT-I begins to be the project “post” period for assessing the effects of change. Service start or an event parallel to program entry will be defined as the “WSYT-I index” for the “treatment as usual” group. Bivariate analyses will be conducted followed by regression models that control for remaining confounders to examine the impact of the treatment enhancements. The need to rule out race, ethnicity, gender, and other demographic characteristics as potentially influencing outcomes and consideration of differential impacts between demographic groups will be essential in these analyses. We will address potential disparities in impact using descriptive analyses of treatment process measures such as treatment initiation, retention, engagement, and continuing care by race, ethnicity, and gender and by studying differential impacts of A-CRA and/or RSS in both the process and outcome analyses throughout the project.

If employees who become eligible for a partial Employer Contribution choose to enroll in insurance, they must do so within thirty (30) days of becoming eligible or during open enrollment. An employee may change their health or dental plan if the employee changes to a new permanent work or residence location and the employee's current plan is no longer available.
