Multisystemic Therapy (MST) was adapted for implementation in a German-speaking environment. The study evaluates the possible economic effects of MST.
Professionals who recommended MST for youths with severe conduct disorders were asked to evaluate the probability of other forms of interventions if MST had not been used. We investigated the costs of those other forms of treatment and compared them to the costs that had actually been incurred with MST.
Implementation of MST in a German-speaking environment showed a significant potential of cost savings compared to other intervention methods. The costs of MST per case were between 40 % and 64 % lower than these of standard interventions.
MST is not only an effective, but also a cost-efficient form of evidence-based treatment for youths with severe conduct disorders.
多系统治疗(MST)已被调整以在德语环境中实施。该研究评估了MST可能产生的经济影响。
对于那些为患有严重品行障碍的青少年推荐MST的专业人员,被要求评估如果未使用MST时其他干预形式的可能性。我们调查了那些其他治疗形式的成本,并将其与MST实际产生的成本进行比较。
在德语环境中实施MST显示出与其他干预方法相比有显著的成本节约潜力。每个案例的MST成本比标准干预的成本低40%至64%。
对于患有严重品行障碍的青少年,MST不仅是一种有效的循证治疗形式,而且具有成本效益。
